Enlightened.

Things don't seem that easy as thought. Many obstacles popped out of no where, unfortunately, unstable as I stand in faith, i was irritated and frustrated. Complaints were the only thing that came out of my sinful mouth.

Waking up at 4am , with eyes opened "brightly" ( Chinese idiomatic expression) Suffering from jetlag ( still?) or Emptiness in heart? By then, i realize that I need to hear the gospel. I need guidance from the Lord Almighty. So, decided to go to church today instead of taking a week off before sem starts. Praying hard and hoping HE will bring me through this.

2Tim 4:1-22
Paul was writing his last book, advising Timothy to preach God's word enthusiastically. As a preacher, he was warned to be prepared from excruciating loneliness. v 10 for "Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world and has departed.." v 16 " at my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me." BUT , BUT v 17 " the Lord stood with me and strengthened me" =)

How wonderful is HE. He's the Lord Jesus Christ, our friend, our savior, He will nvr nvr disappoint us nor leave us! Don't you sense the peacefulness and are comforted? I Smile in joy tears, thanking God that he answered my prayer. How wonderful HE is that he shown me too much miracle!

v 7 paul says
" I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith "
Have you?

Greediness in wanting to listen more to God's word led me once again to step into the congregation of Chinese's session.
LUke 12 : 22
" Therefore I say to you, dont' worry about your life, what you will eat ; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing"

Yes,
May it be that way.
