Refreshed!

I just returned from Ipoh, went there on invitation by my colleague to visit her god-son's home town and to 'keep her company'.

This trip was particularly refreshing for me as I had time to really unpack and pack up my thoughts and feelings properly. I had a lot time to reflect and to pray. Sometimes I just think nothing and enjoy His Presence. His assuring presence has certainly strengthen me.

Indeed, listening to God is the most important. There are one thousand and one things that requires our attention, which one first, LORD? Until God says, do this, I guess, I won't move.... it's not easy because humanly, we would always want to do something to 'prove our worth'. Sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously. Yet, our worth is not in what we can do, we don't need to prove ourselves in order to be loved, we are already loved and valued by our Eternal Father, whether we can do or not.

Being approved by God? - May we know his word, read his word, understand his word and live his word. Lord, teach me to breathe You in all I think and do.

Obedience is the peak of knowing God and His unfailable word. If we know but not obeyed, have we truly known? I doubt.

Finally, in an organization, leadership is important. God has placed leadership over us for a reason. Paul was the leader in his team. God spoke to him and called them to Macedonia. Paul saw the vision and the team went with him. We must trust God for the leadership He has placed over us. When they see the vision, we go - Acts 16:10

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me ...

Stand Still and Let God Move

Stand Still - By The Isaacs The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now You feel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro When you're faced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you Stand still and let God move When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you Stand still and let God move Go to youtube.com search for Stand Still + Isaacs.

Judge Not

"Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eyes, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eyes." - Matthew 7:1-5 (NASB) Otto Fong, used this principle to counter those who decided to 'judge' him because he openly shared that he is a gay. I admire his "courage" and "determination" to be who he is - he only asked for acceptance. His disclosure risked him losing his job as a teacher in the prestigious Raffles Institution whom he had been with for 8 years and also unwanted multiples of criticisms darted towards his sexual preference.
