Good Friday

I had the opportunity to be part of the Good Friday and Easter production in church this year. My first time being on stage in church other than on the worship team (literally) and I had the chance to see many different characters from a new perspective. Good Friday signifies Jesus' death on the cross for us. because we are all sinners, even a small white lie is a sin. so, we have to pay the price for our sins. whether its lying, or stealing, or murder, a price has to be paid. but Jesus loves us  so much, that he paid it all for us on the cross. the price of salvation is not cheap! it cost his life! let me tell you in all honesty, no one else would do that for you and me. The amount of pain and suffering he had to go through before dying was unbearable even for the people observing. Its not as easy as put a bullet through my head and die instantly. it is slow death. but he did it. for you and for me. all because he loves us. 

Even after so many years watching the movie 'The Passion of Christ', it still overwhelms me the love Jesus has for you and me. The tears just wouldn't stop. Oohhhh how beautiful it is to be loved by somebody that much! the statement JESUS LOVES YOU empowers me more than ever now. because JESUS LOVES YOU! he is willing to go to the end of his life to pursue you. and the amazing truth is, even if you are the only human being on this earth, JESUS WILL STILL DIE FOR YOU. 

Go check out the amazing movie 'THE PASSION OF CHRIST' and watch how Jesus pursued you. because his passion is YOU. 

looking forward to Easter tomorrow as we celebrate his resurrection and his victory over death. and because of that, we can declare that I have the freedom to live life in abundance! because Jesus has bought me over and he has given me power over my circumstances and struggles. will you let Jesus set you free today?

Ephesians 5 and 6

Ephesians 5:2 Let love be your guide. How many times have we done something because we do it out of love, and not out of duty? How often do we call home because we care and not because we have to? how many times we helped somebody because we love that somebody? Ephesians 5:4 Dont use dirty or foolish or filthy words. How filtered are our words? from what we speak, do people see Christ-likeness? do people know that we are prince and princesses from the way we speak? I personally realized at one time, i use the word s*** alot. maybe due to peer influence, but i didnt notice it until someone pointed it out. then that time, it got me thinking, is it okay to speak like that? a lot of Christians speak like that anyway. But it all boils down to.. what would people think? so the million dollar question is....... Do we need to care what others think about us? I already have my answer. what is yours? the answer is in the second part of the next verse. 'You can be sure people who behave th

25 Dec 2012

I feel terrible. Terrible is just the word to describe it. I have never felt worse on a Christmas day. Christmas has always been sweeeeeet for me! Up till this year. 1.        I have to STUDY! during Christmas 2.        We didn’t have open house this year 3.        We didn’t have church service on Christmas! What?? Yea. So we went to Full Gospel Church 4.        Everyone is just in a bad mood 5.        We didn’t go give presents to bless the people at the nursing home 6.        Had a tiff with my brother (as usual) 7.        Even decorating the Christmas tree seemed dreadful 8.        I REALLY SHOULDN’T HAVE CAME BACK FOR CHRISTMAS The only good thing was the fact that I received more Christmas greetings and wishes than I expected. Okay, get a grip. Its all about perception. But Christmas is not about how I celebrate it. Its about who I’m celebrating. How would Jesus feel? How would he feel when He knows I am being unhappy because of all the minor detail

Year 2012 is coming to an end

Year 2012 is going to be history! what have i done this year? This year has been a year of the clear display of God's plans for my life. I had great plans for myself about how i'm going to spend the next year and how i'm going to lead my life and about who my friends are going to be. but the Lord has a bigger picture. He has a greater purpose for me. Skills I developed this year: 1. I never knew i can accept people who get on my nerves! people who just piss me off with certain things they do. selfish or inconsiderate or just plain annoying. but I've learn to embrace them as they are. Yes, i might dislike some things of them but if i cant do anything about it, I just have to learn to love them and pray for them. which is quite a hard thing to do. Cause, I have never acted in this manner. Praying for those i really dislike? ahhahha. so not my thing. But the Lord has taught me to love them even more as they are more in need than i am. Really thank God for such a skill
