There's a teaching in central meeting by Zach and Winnie which i think ill never forget for the rest of my life. The value of eternity. Why am i still hesitating? Or rather, why are all of us still hesitating? We know that there is a greater cause to spend our time on, to fight for, but we still choose to succumb to temptations and spend our time to win over joy or things that will be of no value 10 years down the road. We gotta ask ourselves, what kind of life is worthwhile? We can all be successful but those are never enough. We can keep winning medals but those will never be enough. We can be recognized by the public but you will just be a heap of ashes when you die. Nobody's gonna remember you or what you done. Even when you go to heaven, they'd recognize you as a nobody.
I want to leave not just my DNA behind, but a proof of my existance, a proof that i have impacted many lives. And my success will carry on throughout. When I die, im more than just ashes. My eternal reward is in heaven. This is my decision. Whats yours?
Father in heaven,
I pray in the name of Jesus that my life shall be guided much by the holy spirit. Let the spirit prompt me, lead me in the way everlasting. I lay it all down for you, this life i put in your hands. Use me, mould me into any way you like. Father i shall claim all the promises you have promised in the bible and lord, grant me with wisdom and stature, as well as the will to stick to my conviction. My choice is made today to serve you, for you are the greatest leader i have ever known. I commit my life back to you, and i pray in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
Parents don't learn do they? All they do is whine about how bad life is for them and compare us to other kids, claiming that we're a nuisance compared to the mummy boys. Have they ever considered how we felt? They claim that we hurt them whenever we disobey. The damn question is, are we their dogs to begin with?
Yes its similar to that of God that it hurts him when we disobey him. But that kind of love is unconditional, not a scroll full of requirements. God never punishes us even if we disobey. He still redeems us and calls us his sons.
Do i have the right to compare now then?
My mum thinks everything she does is right, and im always wrong. Whenever i do something right, i never get any credit. I never hear praises or even encouragements. That seems to be what is expected. As if i was expected to be a perfect son who follows every order given. This is crap? She shots like a madman everytime shes back from work, my whole family practically blames that on me, and this really sux? I did nothing wrong to deserve this.
Blogging later (i hope)

Father in Heaven,
May you improve on whatever the caregroup lacks, fill in the things we lack in, fill in the joy, that we may enjoy each other's company more. Father may you bond the caregroup more, and may we work together to complete CG 08. For you we serve, for you we love. Father i pray for your aid, in the name of jesus. Amen...
Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To everyone in needful hour.
(Psalm 90:1-10)
By altering the gene that controls aging, scientists believe they can extend the average human lifespan to 100 by the end of this century. This would be well beyond the proverbial 70 years mentioned in Psalm 90:10. But even if people do live longer, life's final chapter will still read, "It is soon cut off" (v.10).
Moses, who wrote Psalm 90, lived to be 120. He saw death as inevitable in a world cursed by the effects of sin. Yet he didn't become pessimistic. He asked God to teach him to number his days so he could gain "a heart of wisdom" (v.12). He wanted to be satisfied with God's mercy so he could rejoice and be glad (v.14). He also asked God to show His glory to the next generation (v.16). That's how Moses faced the reality of death thousands of years ago.
Like all people since Adam and Eve, we suffer the effects of sin, and death is certain (Romans 6:23). Yet we can live with hope and joy, because God sent His Son to die for our sins. Jesus conquered death when He rose from the grave. And if we receive Him as our personal Savior and Lord, we too can experience God's forgiveness and look forward to being with Him in heaven forever.
Have you faced and settled this life-and-death issue?
THINKING IT OVER
If you were to die today, would yoube prepared to meet God?To be ready, embrace Jesus' promise toeveryone who believes in Him (John 3:16; 11:25-26).
You're not ready to live until you're ready to die.
"Hillsong United Came To My Rescue lyrics"
Falling on my knees in worship
Giving all I am to seek Your face
Lord all I am is is Yours
My whole life
I place in Your hands
God of mercy
Humbled I bow down
In your presence at Your throne
I called You answered
And You came to my rescue and I
I wanna be where You are
In my life be lifted high
In our world be lifted high
In our love be lifted high
Yes come to my rescue lord, i need a way for cg08! Mould me, make me in the way you deem best. I trust in your word and today i claim your promises, i stand before you, daring to dream, daring to accept, daring to ask. Father, give me the wisdom...
I remember the first time
Your love reached deep
Into my world
You read me
Like an open book
You took all the pieces
And made my life complete In You
I soar on the heights
Of Your love
Dive the depths of Your grace
You take me higher
Til I see beyond the storm
Surrounding me with Your love
I turn to find You near
You take me higher
You lift my head to open skies
Your fire burns within my soul
Abandoned to Your call
I take the hand of One
Who knows me
From the inside out
He guides me through
The streets of life
He take me through
Open doors
They open onto fields of white
He tells me to see
And perceive
And to hear their cry
You take me higher
'Til I see beyond the storm
Surrounding me with Your love
I turn to find You near
You take me higher
You lift my head to open skies
Your fire burns within my soul
Abandoned to Your call
