The season of bad sore throat has arrived for me. And I can just simply feel a lump at the lower end of my throat. O Lord, tell me it's not the relapse!! I hate to mention this but this is gonna be the last thing I wanna hear of what's becoming of me. But Lord, I choose to stand upon Your promise that I am healed by the blood of Jesus. In His name and by his stripes He took for me, I am healed! Thus, I confess this in the name of Jesus. I shall recover from this bad sore throat.
Oh, for those who have not gone for the Easter event held in Expo Hall 8, you guyz have missed a great performance by the CHC drama members, who put in so much effort to make the production a successful one. Truly God is good and many people gave their lives to Jesus today acknowledging Him as their Lord and Savior.
I hope that my friends would get to know Jesus too. Not because it's cool to be a Christian. Rather, it's a choice of whether one would like to lead a better life instead of living a mundane and meaningless life on planet earth.
Your life can never be the same with Jesus as your Lord.
Though it's not easy living in a world full of complications and depressed people, it's always a great thing to practice the love that God has for us. And in order to love others properly and form strong and lasting friendships or relationships, it is essential to know how God first loved us.
God, sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross such that our sins can be forgiven when we acknowledge Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus took all sins of mankind so that we can be pure in the eyes of God. He became poor so that we can be prosperous in everything we do. The pain of every stripes of the whip He took is for the healing of our illness and brokenness. He died so that we may live, and live life to its abundance (of high quality).
Therefore, this Easter, let's remember what Jesus has done on the cross for all of us. It doesn't matter whether you are a Christian or a non-Christian. All you need to know is that you are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved by the grace of God. And that Jesus is the way that will lead you to an intimate relationship of God.
I always tell myself this:
Whenever I feel lonely, or feel that no one else accepts me, loves me or understand me, God is with me. I need not feel lonely because by communicating with Jesus through prayer, God will avail Himself to be a good listener to all my problems. And by His words, He shall turn my problems into stepping stones towards success and maturity.
I need not feel depressed anymore, because on the day I received Jesus into my life, God has placed joy into my heart. Even when things don't turn out right for me, that joy of the Lord continues to birth forth within my spirit. Somehow or rather, I do not feel as depressed as I once felt without God.
I was healed of cancer by the grace and mercy of my Lord God. It was not just the works of therapies and medications, but rather, I chose to pray everyday and stand firm in my faith that God will heal me completely of that illness. There were times I felt like I was dying and for that moment, I thought I would die. But then, in that very hour, I kept holding on the faith in my Lord and His promise that by His stripes I am healed, despite the pain and discomfort.
It takes courage and lots of faith for a person to fight for his very life in order to live. To have life in this world means so much, because of one thing - to live a life of purpose. It'll even be better to live a life according to God's purpose. What are you called for? What are you made to do? What do you enjoy doing? All these must go together with the intention to touch the lives of others.
I enjoyed this Easter very much. In fact, I really enjoyed the company of Sean and Wai Mun for some chit chat sessions at TCC just now. Really liked the ambiance and the fellowship that we brothers could enjoy. Thanks so much for spending your time fellowshipping with me.
Well, I was really touched that my girlfriend made a trip down to town just to see if I'm alright. I'm fine actually, although there were some discomfort in my throat this afternoon. Aww... I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I should have taken extra care of myself. But at these times, my assignments and work are placing lots of pressure on me. I really hope I could get more rests... during the holidays though. I'm looking forward to my holidays even though they seem to be a snail's pace away.
Darling,
Thank you for being so understanding all these while.
Thank you for your care upon my life.
Thank you for loving me so much and spending your time with me.
Thank you for everything...
"I love you" is just not enough for me to express, as it goes way beyond that from the bottom of my heart. But still... I love you.
