greetings! AHAHAHA!! well, ive been doing fine for the past few days! hurray! lets start from common test results! i got back everything... and i failed chinese! lol! well, i failed quite badly.... but i feel nothing! lols! and surprisingly, i passed chem, phy, a math and e math! i tot i will fail.. bt i passed! but... is just pass only... but better than fail rite? LOL! my expectations are not v high.. i just want to pass... and, God did bless me! tho my chem and phy's marks are really horrible, my overall is still so so so much better than mid year. LOL! mid year was really disgusting! ahaha! anyway, really thank God for it!
On monday, i took some time to reflect on the things i have done... i wondered whats the condition of my heart.... tt time, i was feeling rather empty... and i didnt really know the reason why... i asked myself " izit because God is moulding me? or izit because im living according to the flesh?" that day, i was reading my devotional book and the chapter i was reading wad about living according to the flesh/spirit. den, in the book, it states that the proof of living in the spirit is the FRUIT. and i was like "HEY! that was exactly what pastor khong was sharing on sunday!" and so, i felt that God is really teaching me to live by the spirit and not by the flesh. gee! to think of it, i cant imagine living my life without God... how would i be like now? following the worldly things? perhaps im already dead. who knows?
these are the things i found in the book that spoke to me.. hopefully, it speaks to u too!
- Why should i be depressed when i have hope and can recall to mind God's loving kindness, compassion and faithfulness?
- Why should I worry and be upset when i can cast all my anxieties on Christ who cares for me?
- Why should i ever be in bondage knowing that there is freedom where the spirit of the Lord is?
- Why should i be weak when the bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that i will display strength and take action because I know God?
- Why should i feel helpless in the presence of others when i know that God is for me, who can be against me?
few days ago, God led me to this verse:
Where O death, is your victory?
Where O death, is your sting?
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is law. But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers,
STAND FIRM. LET NOTHING MOVE YOU. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR LABOUR IN THE LORD IS NOT IN VAIN. 1 Corinthians 15:55-58.
