silence

There is always a reason for God’s silence – a purpose under heaven.
He may be silent because He has spoken and we have not responded – so He waits. Or He may have spoken and we have said “no” – so He gives us time to see the consequences of our disobedience. Or He may want to speak, but we are too busy that we are not giving Him the silence needed to hear His “still small voice” in the recesses of our hearts. Or God may be silent because it is His time to be silent.
In any intimate relationship there are always periods of silence. God’s silence may be a test of our faith.
“If we are faithless, he will remain faithful…” 2 Tim. 2: 13

forgiveness

Have you ever did something that you regret doing it? Have you ever misunderstood someone and you wished that things could be rewind to the way they were before? Have you ever said something that you wished you didn’t say it? Have you ever wished that you could have given a little bit more attention to the close ones whom you often take their presence for granted?

We often have such moments that we hope and wish for forgiveness. Forgiveness is such a powerful word. It brings about great relief to the person who needed it so much. It brings so much joy, giving the person a fresh new start in the relationship or the friendship. I remembered that there were a few incidents in my life that I wished for forgiveness so badly, from my Maker or my friends. Often, the bad one will try to deceive the person by instilling guilt and unworthiness, telling him that he is no good and do not deserve any forgiveness or even try to prophesize that he will fail and fall in that same area again, thus, questioning the poor human soul about why should he be asking for forgiveness.

Yet, the Lord is faithful and love. Asking for forgiveness displays our humility in Christ. The first step of forgiveness happens in your own heart, when you know that God has forgiven you when you seek for it and you are able to forgive yourself for the wrongful act. Next step of seeking forgiveness from those you did wrong to is to amend the broken relationship or friendship because love covers all wrongs. Here, you seek out to the person because the relationship or friendship meant something to you and that brings people to reconcile with each other.

Thank you, Jesus for forgiving me. Thank you for receiving me daily, each time I come to you to tell you of my wrongs, you never fail to give me a new start and see me afresh. Today, I learnt forgiveness in another deeper level of understanding. True forgiveness brings great relief and so much joy to the heart. Thank you, Lord.

Caught spiderman3 with eevoon today. one of the last few sentences that parker made was when he said “I forgive you” to sandman. It was moving. It was truth in love.

i enjoyed wam night

"when Jesus heard what has happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. when Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick." matthew 14: 13- 14

what happened earlier on was that John was beheaded. John was someone close to Jesus. Jesus knew him as a close brother and friend. his death affected Jesus and that's why Jesus drew away on his own to pray or talk to God. it just reminded me that similarly, there were times when i heard about news that bothers me alittle. yet, what kind of spirit ooze out of me when i'm needed to attended to people or matters? do i turn people away when i'm down? do i respond with a negative spirit? in this case, Jesus never did. in fact, Jesus was troubled, yet he did not turn the people away and ministered to their needs.

met with gwen and zinc over a nice japanese dinner (gyoza rocks!) at cuppage. it was just so relaxing to hang out with good friends. went for wam night after a very full meal. am thankful for a great time of sharing in the stage manager training. it was good to share our thoughts and rough out ideas and suggestions for more growth in our programming ministry. as i rest my head on my pillow tonight, i'm so charged up by vision and dreams in programming. discussing with the fellow stage managers and event programmers make me so excited about what we are doing in our ministries. reaching for excellence is knowing that yesterday's service standard is the minimal benchmark for tomorrow's event.

Have you ever seen a store specializing in burial garments? (If there is one, I have an advertising slogan to suggest: “Clothes to die for.”)

Came across the above and it got me laughing. I thought it was quite a witty and funny slogan. Holiday’s been quite relaxing for me. Spent some times reading, anime-ing, manga-ing, helped out in a math and logical formula task (wa... typed my ever longest formulae on excel spreadsheet!), swimmings, suppers (gasp! better watch that waist!) and caught up with shirls over her mud ooze and my egg salad (see? i'm making it up to my late night suppers).

Pens down

Exams’ over and there are a few things I truly want to give thanks to God for. I’ve gotten back some of my assignments and projects’ grades. Praise God for 2 HDs in my minor – market research and 3 CRs for two other modules. I do look forward to receiving my exams results soon, because I had set a goal at the beginning of the semester. Living life with my Maker is sooo exciting!

Had planned to do some things in this holiday – start on my 3 new books (woops, some were last year’s birthday gifts! So…no more books this year yea? Need to be faithful to finish those I have now. Hahahaha). Decided to re- learn photoshop (any interested pals willing to teach me?) oh yeah, to relax abit, want to catch some good movies on dvds like Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2 (*scream Johnnnnny Depppppp!!), stranger than fiction, etc… (any other good recommendations?).

Feeling happy after a good jog just now, want to thank God for a few people. Debbie, as much as you enjoyed the short chats throughout yesterday, I enjoyed it as well. Through you, I came to see the fulfillment of this verse: Proverbs 11: 25 “…he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” Thanks for being a part of my life. I see joy and obedience in you. Shirls, a very spontaneous going- home- together last night I enjoyed so much and so thankful for. Thanks for always giving me a pair of listening ears. Your ears came in time to encourage me. Thank you for the caught- me- by- surprise sms at 12:12am. Your sms gave me that extra dosage of encouragement. Matthias, you’ve been such a hungry believer for the Word! I’m so amazed and inspired by your genuine concern for the caregroup. Shuping, coming home to you, watching you sleep soundly brought smiles to me and I’m thankful for your knowing- me- inside- out.

It's the Lord

"...You can lift up a song in the midst of a war, for the battle is mine, says the Lord..."
it's all about decision. even in bad times, lousy times, you feel that you are the lowest of all, the Lord is still good. He is faithful and true. In not- so- good times, we can still choose to praise the Lord. amen.

which seed are you?

… Seed along the path: anyone who hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in the heart.
Seed on rocky places: the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. However, because he has no root, he lasts only a short time. He will fall away quickly when trouble comes.
Seed among the thorns: the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.
Seed on good soil: the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown…
Matthew 13: 1- 23
What type of soil does your heart has today? What best describe the condition of your heart today? Is your heart soft towards the heavenly voice today? How do you respond when you hear the word today? Are you too busy for Him?
Taking care of our own heart is our personal spiritual responsibility.
