What matters the most to me?

Many ppl has a lot of different definition towards their own life.

Some regards wealthy as successful life

Some spends their entire life looking for good looking partner

Some works over hour daily to fill up more and more money inside their pockets

Some pointing their fingers towards other's fault without knowing to apologize in a right manner over their own mistakes

I laugh and sigh at the same time, no offence though *finger crossed*

When I look deeper what I longing for in my life.

The answer is possessing a joyful heart and being contented have made my living so blessed despite the days and years that I have undergone.

Thus, what is the element that matters the most to you?

Nice day all =)

The bittersweet synonym

This song was played during my flight back to Malaysia. This song catches my ears straight away. I took a deep breath when I scrutinize every lyric of this song.

Ppl comes in and out of my life

Ppl who have once impacted me

Ppl who have once painted a smile on my face

The memories down the lane...

The feelings of both bitter and sweet are still stored in the deepest of my heart. =)

Enjoy the song below

Believe in HIM (Juwita Suwito)

Two thousand years ago
A baby was found in a manger
No trumpet, no headlines, no breaking news
But just a star shining for all who cared to see

Some say he's the Saviour and Lord of all
Some say he's just only a man
A carpenter with a call
But if he really did lay his life for me
And paid the price of sin there at Calvary
Why shouldn't I, why shouldn't I believe in HIM?

You reach a point in life
When you will choose one or another
Accept him, reject, the choice is yours
But I know the truth is there, waiting for me

A plan so simple and wise
Only God would think to devise
I think it's time to forget the lies
He loves you
Is that so hard to realize?

Long journey - Beautiful song

It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to You

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong

I know I will falter
I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will You break down these walls and pull me through

Cause It's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies

When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to You
To You...

I know who hold tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from it's sunshine,
For it's skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said,
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.
Refrain
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
Ev'ry step is getting brighter,
As the golden stairs I climb;
Ev'ry burden's getting lighter;
Ev'ry cloud is silver lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eyes,
At the ending of the rainbow,
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Refrain
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
I don't know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the One Who feeds the sparrow,
Is the One Who stands by me.
And the path that be my portion,
May be through the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I'm covered with His blood.
Refrain
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.

主啊我到你面前

主啊我到你面前
献上我的今天
我的身体 我的一切
献上当作活祭

主啊我到你面前
献上我的今天
求你更新 求你洁净
我的心思意念

我与你同钉十架
如今不是我活着
因我知道你是深爱我
我只为你而活

主啊我到你面前
献上我的今天
愿我一生蒙你悦纳
成为你的喜悦

Don't miss it =)

Bliss =)

Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate
Mark 10:9

Epilogue : The wife of Noble Character

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value
She brings him good, not harm
all the days of her life
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar
She gets up while it is still dark
She provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls
She considers a field ans buys it
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard
She sets about her work vigorously
her arms are strong for her tasks
She sees that her trading is profitable
and her lamp does not go out at night
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy
When it snows, she has no fear for her household
for all of them are clothed in scarlet
She makes coverings for her bed
she is clothed in fine linen and purple
Her husband is respected at the city gate
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land
She makes linen garments and sells them
and supplies the merchants with sashes
She is clothed with strength and dignity
she can laugh at the days to come
She speaks with wisdom
and faithful instruction is on her tongue
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness
Her children arise and call her blessed
her husband also, and he praises her
many women do noble things
but you surpass them all
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeing
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised
Give her reward she has earned
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate
[Proverbs 31: 10-31]

The Truth About Feelings

“… And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ ….” (Philippians 1:9-10 NIV)

Submitted now for your consideration is Pamela, a loving wife, a nurturing mother, a prayerful Christian. This morning her husband, Richard, left a tender note on the bathroom mirror, inviting Pamela to join him for lunch at their favorite restaurant.

Pamela eyes the clock all morning, anticipating meeting her life-long love at 1 p.m. She’s excited and feeling extraordinarily loved by her husband, so she leaves for the restaurant early so she can buy Richard a small gift. She splurges a little, buying two balloons that float from the ribbon around the present.

As she pays for the gift, she notices her cell phone isn’t in her purse – again. No matter, it’s 12:30 and in a few short minutes she’ll be with Richard, giving him her undivided attention. Who needs a cell phone in moments like that?

Pamela arrives at the restaurant first, and she patiently waits for Richard to arrive. What she doesn’t yet know is that there has been in a horrible, tragic traffic accident, and Richard died at about the time she was tying the balloons to his present, excitedly anticipating their romantic rendezvous.

The point to this painful snapshot is that our feelings don’t always reflect the truth. Pamela was soaring high on feelings of love, completely unaware of the awful truth bearing down on her. Her feelings are not yet in line with the truth.

Imagine Pamela as she waits for her husband. When he doesn’t arrive soon, she becomes annoyed. After 20 minutes, she’s irritated and hurt. Her feelings still do not line up with the truth.

By the time 40 minutes have passed, she is worrying. This just isn’t like Richard. Maybe something has happened. She borrows the restaurant's phone and calls Richard’s office. His boss says, “Pamela, we’ve been trying to reach you. There’s been a terrible accident ….” The truth and Pamela’s feelings collide – and become one.

There’s nothing wrong with our feelings; God gave them to us. As one of my friends often says, “Feelings are just feelings.” Sometimes they reflect the truth; often times they don’t. They can serve as an early warning system, such as when fear alerts us to danger, or they can draw your attention to the one God wants you to marry, when you feel an overwhelming sense of love.

But your feelings do not define the truth. Only God defines the truth. You may feel worthless, but the truth is you are uniquely created by God, who loves you deeply. You may feel like you can walk on water, but the truth is you can only do that if Jesus calls you from the boat. You can’t; God can.

The apostle Paul teaches us to discern the truth, not through our feelings, but through knowledge and insight. He writes, “… and this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ ….” (Philippians 1:9-10 NIV)

Eugene Peterson, in The Message paraphrase, translates that passage like this: “… You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush ….” (Philippians 1:9b-10a MSG) Otherwise, you end up in a life “shaped by things and feelings instead of God.” (Colossians 3:5 MSG)

Your feelings are from God; they are a gift, and there is no need to avoid them or be ashamed of them. However, God never meant for our feelings to measure our life and determine how we live it. Your feelings do not define you; they are not designed to interpret the situations you now face. Only God’s truth can define you, and only God’s truth can pass judgment on the circumstances of your life.

The great and best Good News is this: God’s truth is a person – Jesus Christ, our Lord.

So what?

· You are not your emotions – You are defined by God, not your emotions. You may not feel like it, but God says you are wonderfully and fearfully created in his image, accepted in the Beloved. He loves you no matter what you’ve done.

· God uses your feelings – God may use your feelings to reveal a piece of your heart that you need to turn over to him. He may use your feelings to draw you closer to him. Paul speaks of feeling like a wretched man, and that draws him deeper into the grace of God. Your feelings of hopelessness in a situation may be what God uses to show you that you’re hanging your hopes on the wrong thing – because he is the God of a hope that will not disappoint.

· Your obedience is based on the truth, not feelings – The facts may appear daunting, but it is up to God, not you and your feelings, to interpret the facts. God calls us to be obedient to the truth, not to the way we feel. As C.S. Lewis says in Mere Christianity, if you don’t love someone, behave as if you do, and your feelings will catch up.

Everlasting God Isaiah 40 : 28-31

The Lord is the everlasting God
The creator of the ends of the earth
He will not grow tired or weary
and His understanding no one can fathom

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak
and young men stumble and fall
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength

They will soar on wings like eagles
they will run and not grow weary
they will walk and not be faint

Unspeakable Joy =)

Stirring at my cup of lemon tea,
Paying attention to words which uttered from your mouth,
Joy comes true from my heart,
Smile painted on my face after it,
your words have indeed made my day!!
I will remember it, *winks* =)

The power of Your name

Surely children weren't made for the streets
And fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn't how it should be
Let Your Kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war
Or the broken meant to be ignored
Surely this just can't be what You saw
Let Your Kingdom come
Here in my heart

I will live
To carry Your compassion
To love a world that's broken
To be Your hands and feet
I will give
With the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion
To see the world be changed
By the power of Your name

Surely life wasn't made to regret
And the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
Let Your Kingdom come
Lord break this heart

Your name
Is a shelter for the hurting
Jesus Your name
Is a refuge for the weak
Only Your name
Can redeem the undeserving
Jesus Your name
Holds everything I need
