Psalm 107:1, "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."


Today's message was on Luke 15, the parables of the lost sheep,coin,and son.
i guess whatever i learnt during vcf through reflecting had a greater impact than today's message on man's responsibility to return back to our heavenly Father.

but i've learnt from a sidetrack to the Lord's prayer.

How?How do you actually pray?What should you actually pray about?

I always thought that the Lord's prayer sounds very nice in chinese.
But now i know.

Seek ye 1st the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness.
and all these things should be added onto you.

Therefore Jesus said, this is how you should pray.
Our father in heaven,
Holy be your name.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Always wait in anticipation for His kingdom,
always trust that His good will is always done and will always be good.
and all these things will be added unto you,
because the next line says

give us today our daily bread.
only when you seek God's kingdom,
then ask for your own needs.
and God will give them to you.

Then ask God to preserve us.
Because in this world,
we will never be able to triumph over sin without God's help.

Forgive us our sins,
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Do not put us to the test,
but deliver us from the evil one.

With so much care and protection and love from God,
don't we all sing in praise!
For Yours is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
forever and ever amen!

Through a small thing,
You made me understand what complete trust in You meant.

I was very worried that i couldnt get a plug in the library for gavan.
and the panel of 5plugs that i was sitting by,
within an hours time,4 were filled up.
with only the one nearest to me empty.
and with an earnest heart,
i prayed to You.
There was nothing else i could do really.
but to hold my trust in You that it would still be empty when he comes.
and it was a whole 5 hours.

and You dear Lord,kept the plug for him.
if such a small thing, You were faithful.
if i dont entrust my life and my every decision to You,
im not worthy to be called Your children.
and so,dear Lord,
You know my needs.
You prepared me to be a giving person,
for whoever will come my way.
please keep me this way.
and trust in You no matter what.
because You and only You,
knows what's best for me(:

Dear Lord,

thank you for all the showers of blessing you've poured unto me this sem.
i can't thank you enough for all the grace and mercy you've shown to a sinner like me.
thank you for teaching me how to love with your love.
thank you for giving me a heart that goes out to all my friends.
although i may not know how to encourage them.
but dear Lord, you always teach me to just love them.
and that the best encouragement i can give anyone, are Your words Lord.
i think,im becoming a person,
who's more encouraging,more patient,and hopefully less hot-tempered.
less competitive,less arguments,is what i need to strive for.

dear Lord,

thank you for all the angels you've sent into my life.
without them i will not be able to survive life.
or rather,they make life more tolerable
when im feeling miserable.
they motivated me to love you more,
to seek you more, to serve you more.
and im grateful.
im happy with my life.
because it couldnt be happier
if it was without you.
and for that i will follow you forever and ever.
and help me to trust in You
ever step that i take in life.

thank You.
