Dear God - Part 2

Dear God,
today in church I sang this song titled - God is Able,
I always thought to myself that I will only sing songs that I myself be able to do.
through out the whole song, I kept on reluctant to sing the song,
singing that You are able.
But,
when I sing it, I feel like beating myself,
when I sing it, I feel pain in my hear,
it is because, please forgive me,
I cant feel You as much I do now.
God, the song said that,
You will never leave us,
You will never fail us,
You will never abandon us,
But God, I cant feel You near me anymore.

Dear God,
I would like to continue praising you.
Please Help me Lord.
Today speaker said that,
the trials and difficulties that one face now may be a blessing in the future,
like how Joseph or Jesus.
the difficulties made them better.
Lord, I hope that is true.
but God, I cant face this trials and difficulties alone.
can You stand beside me,
can You be with me,
can You guide me in this difficulties,
can You give me strength and courage to face this.

Dear God,
I kneel down before you,
pleading you to help me Lord.
Help me Lord.
Help!

Dear God.

Its been long time since I last blog. Was lazy. :P
but anyway, the main purpose of this blog, is to write to God.

Dear God,
I wonder what is your purpose for me.
I sometimes pray that I could turn back time.
I wish that I could be a different person.
I hope that I could have been a different person.
I want to a better person than I am now.

God, what is your purpose for me?
I hear from many sermons, testimony and sharing by different people saying that You, God, has already know what is ahead of one's future.
People say that You have already planned what are their bidding on earth even before they were born.

God, what is my purpose for you?
I wonder my choice of coming to Australia was the right one.
I thought I could be a better person if and when I study abroad.
It seems I was wrong.
I thought that studying abroad will strengthen myself to be a better person.
I thought that if I stay myself with Christian, it would be nice.
As how I have seen it to those staying out of their house in Sunway.
I thought when staying together, it will be easier to share things together.

Not wanting to be dramatic or unrealistic,
but when I watch series like Friends, Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, and Big Bang theory, I thought to myself,
If i stayed outside my house with friends like this, wont it be nice?
to be able to share your heart out to one that you trust.
Friends that can depend upon when you didnt even ask for help.
Friends that will lend you a shoulder to cry to when one are sad.
Friends that can also share their personal things to you.
Friends that will be honest and also understanding.

Dear God,
ever since I come to Australia,
I have slide even further away from you.
I thought that I could get close to You even more.
I hear so many good testimony from international student when they study overseas, their faith in God has been strengthen,
How I wish I was like that too.
But it seems that it could not be true for me.
Maybe it is just be not taking the initiative.
Or maybe it was also the environment?
but lets not point finger.
blame your own Danny....

Dear God,
today, I hear from a pastor saying that you already know the future of everyone.
God, if you knew mine, why let me suffer here?
oh God, I dont know what I am suppose to be.
Many say not to lose faith in You.
But God, please tell me, I am hearing.
I know that your plans might not be my wanting,
But God, I dont know what to do anymore.
I am so lost.

God, the video I watch today, the pastor said that maybe You are trying to tell one something but we are kicking You away from us, it may because that we dont like that answer to what you are going to say to us?
but God, please be like in the video, forcing to show to the person.
please be gentle with me when You show me.
Lord, please forgive me if I have always push you away.
Lord, please show me.
Show me, my future.
Show me, Your plans You have for me.
I may not like it, but Lord, I just a mere human.
Please be understanding.
Thank You God.

Prayer for japan

The power of moving water is greater than most of us can imagine. Nothing stands before it. We are driven to our knees:

Father in heaven, you are the absolute Sovereign over the shaking of the earth, the rising of the sea, and the raging of the waves. We tremble at your power and bow before your unsearchable judgments and inscrutable ways. We cover our faces and kiss your omnipotent hand. We fall helpless to the floor in prayer and feel how fragile the very ground is beneath our knees.

O God, we humble ourselves under your holy majesty and repent. In a moment — in the twinkling of an eye — we too could be swept away. We are not more deserving of firm ground than our fellowmen in Japan. We too are flesh. We have bodies and homes and cars and family and precious places.

We know that if we were treated according to our sins, who could stand? All of it would be gone in a moment. So in this dark hour we turn against our sins, not against you.

And we cry for mercy for Japan. Mercy, Father! Not for what they or we deserve. But mercy!

Have you not encouraged us in this? Have we not heard a hundred times in your Word the riches of your kindness, forbearance, and patience? Do you not a thousand times withhold your judgments, leading your rebellious world toward repentance? Yes, Lord, for your ways are not our ways, and your thoughts are not our thoughts.

Grant O God that the wicked will forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Grant us, your sinful creatures, to return to you, that you may have compassion. For surely you will abundantly pardon. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus, your beloved Son, will be saved. May every heart-breaking loss — millions upon millions of losses — be healed by the wounded hands of the risen Christ. You are not unacquainted with your creatures' pain. You did not spare your own Son, but gave him up for us all.

In Jesus you tasted loss. In Jesus you shared the overwhelming flood of our sorrows and suffering. In Jesus you are a sympathetic Priest in the midst of our pain.

Deal tenderly now, Father, with this fragile people. Woo them. Win them. Save them. And may the floods they so much dread make blessings break upon their head.

O let them not judge you with feeble sense, but trust you for your grace. And so behind this providence, soon find a smiling face.

In Jesus’ merciful name, Amen!

Trust

If I ask you to jump,
saying that I will catch you from the bottom,
would you jump?
would you trust me and jump?

To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.

but do you trust me?
or you take me as a joke?

Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again.

I know that I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.

I also know that if,
If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't follow. I'd be at the bottom to catch them when they fall.

So, the main point,
Do you trust me?

Poverty

well, i have been to places that there is extreme poverty,
been there,
played with the kids that live in poverty,
give clothing to the kids with poverty,
give food to the kids,
cut their nails for them,
give them multivitamins,
give them de-worming medicine,
bring doctor to give them treatment,
i have seen everything,
from bad to worst,
every situation
....
but i have never live like them,
to actually starve,
sleeping in the street,
sleeping on cardboard,
sleeping without air-conditioning,
i really have to thanks God for giving me such a good family,
that provide me a comfortable house to stay,
that provide me warm food on the table everyday, 3 times a day
that provide me a chance to have an education,
that allow me to enjoy some of the luxury on earth
but, human will never satisfy its need.

First they wan to fill their stomach,
but when they have and can satisfy the basic hunger for a while,
they will tend to upgrade,
like buying better quality food, or eating more than should,
then it would be satisfying basic entertainment needs,
and so on and so forth.

well, i think i have taken things for granted in some instance,
like not studying well even thou have the chance for such great education system,
but then, sometimes is not that i want to not study,
is that i could not,
sometimes i wonder why am i even born
everyone say that God created u,
and he always have a plan for you already,
knowing that what you would do,
everyone have a gift that God has given to,

i hav always wonder what is mine,
am i going to be a 'useless citizen'
i have got no brain of a genius,
i can't play an instrument well,
i can't sing well either,
i can't do sports well,
i can't share gospel well,
so whats my gift?
why am i here for?
what am i suppose to do?
God please help me,
show me whats my gift,
give me some sign,
i pray to you,
Help me...
help me..
help me.
help.

well, got to go back sleep at cardboard,
laterzz pepz
be appreciative of what you have.
sign-out

Note to GoD

Give us the strength to make it through,
Help us find love, cause love is overdue,
And it seems like so much is going wrong,
On this road we're on

If i wrote a note to GoD
I'd say please help us find a way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness
in our heart

If i wrote a note to God
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

Charice - Note to God
-----------------------------------------------------------

I am not saying that we should take this song as a P&W song,
but if u look at the lyrics,
the lyrics is just really meaningful,
it reminds me that i should always remember to pray to God
asking God for strength to do things
praying to God to ask for a good heart so that we do not keep grudges
talking to God about love
showing others how God's love is
how wonderful how God show his love in our life

to me especially,
God showed his love to me by giving me,

a wonderful and supporting family,
even thou i am a pain in the ass sometimes,
but they are always there for me when i needed helped,
they always gives great advise, random advise, cruel advise, or painful advise
but i do know one thing, these are for my own good
well, the way they do things i may not like,
but oh well.... i just have to suck it up right?
they know whats best for me.
parents that always provide,
food on the table,
bed that i can comfortably sleep in,
an education for my bright future,
a car that can bring me anywhere.
Parents will always keep a an eye on you,
that always in standby when i needed help.
that always tell me how to be a good man
telling me how to be a gentleman, and a good father in the future
i am glad to have parents that i have.
i want to thank my parents for always be there for me,
always care for me,
always worried for me,
always know how to deal with problems
THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!!

friends that is hard to find,
friends that is always there when u need help,
friends that do not keep counts of wrong doing,
friends that always forgives,
friends that always look at the good sides of you,
and tell you when ur bad sides has to be change
instead of making fun of your bad side,
friends that will go an extra mile to help u,
all the way out just to help you,
even thou its hard for them,
even thou they have to stay up at night
they will try their best to help,
friends that always there to hear your problem,
friends that always hear your love story,
friends that always advise you on how to deal with problems,
friends that will smack you on the head to wake u up,
thats its time to face reality
i want to thanks my friends such as,
Michael Bong

(please be advise there is no order of favourites here)

you all have made an impact to my life this semester of my university life
hope that we can continue to grow in our spiritual walk with God
and be a better person


sometimes God may not do things the way u want it,
but he knows what to do, and whether he shud do it for you
he know whats best for us,
there is already a strategy plan for each and everyone of us on earth
but i think sometimes,
we cannot always depend on God to do all things for us,
we should at least do our part to try our best to do it.

things that i want to change for this semester!!!
1) to get more close to GOD!!
2) to be more nerd!! (well, actually am one d la... jz a lazy lousy nerd.. haha)
3) to be a better person
4) more focus on priorities
5) workout (Daniel Chia helping me i hope... hahaha)

in conclusion, to be a better person.
to be a better living testimony to others on God's image

*peace*
*fistbump*
cheers

Failure

Dammit,
no matter how much you have study,
how much u have remembered,
but when u panic or freak out,
what you have remembered for the exam may be forgotten
you will be unsure of what you have study would help in exam
or whether will it help you in your job in the future.
you will be unsure whether what you have answer whether is it correct or not.
