All we need is YOU

Imagine yourself having everything you wanted in life... Everything... to the point that as if everything is perfect... your goals are met... you have wonderful family and friends who love you inside out... but then one night... you glance at the beauty of the night sky... you felt the cold breeze of the air brushing through your skin... but all of a sudden you feel that there's something wrong... you feel something unusual in your heart... you then think of the things you have in your life... but... you begin to ask, "Why is there still a part of me that thirsts?" Then you think that even though you have everything you wanted in life, your heart is still void. You cry... and could not understand why...


Yes, indeed. All we need is Jesus. JESUS, our Lord. Awesome and Wonderful. Only Him can feel that emptiness in your heart. Only Him can quench that thirsty soul. Only Him can give you perfect peace. Only Him can embrace you with love so wonderful and unfailing. Only Him can carry you when you are tired. Only Him hug you with comfort when all else fails. Only HIM can love you UNCONDITIONALLY. And only in Him, will you find true contentment.

Let Jesus fill that emptiness in your heart. He loves you.... so much.

Smile! YOU ARE LOVED <3

The measure of God’s love


The measure of God’s love 

We all know what happened during the crucifixion right?  He was beaten so badly that all you can see is his blood shattered around the place. As you watch that time of Jesus suffering, have you ever wondered why God have to suffer? (I mean He can just erase our sins and forget it right? But NO he didn’t. Why?)Well some people will say “for ours sins to be forgiven” and “He wants to save us”.  That’s right.  For our sins to be forgiven and to save us but we have to ZOOOOM IN MORE!! 

ZOOM!


ZOOM!


Let’s have a trip back in time ^_^


Well now we’re on time of Jesus. 2000 years ago. The road is very bumpy, no phone, no cars, and no malls. (step…step)We’re walking down the street, and notice a huge crowd gathering in one place. As we get a closer look, you saw a man lifting a cross and badly injured .You can see through his eyes that he was crying inside and he was looking at you. Maybe you’re asking “why is he looking at me?” Or maybe “am I the one making him suffer?”@_@
The man (JESUS) said to you “THIS IS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU MY CHILD”
God came here to:
  •   SAVE US
  •          PROTECT US
  •           FORGIVE US
  •          AND TO SHOW HIS UNFAILING, EVERLASTING LOVE FOR YOU!

Medical Mission ~ Tiring yet very fulfilling :>

Last April 6, 2012, my sister and I, joined the Medical Mission headed by Every Nation Church from Singapore and Victory Gensan. 

Weeks before the said date, announcements were told regarding the Medical Mission every after a service from Victory Center. The first time I heard the announcement, I immediately told my sister that I wanted to be one of the volunteers, and she supported me. I signed up, and she signed up as well. I was very excited because I would not only learn from the Medical Team, which consists of Professional Nurses, Doctors, and Pharmacists (I pray that I become one after I graduate and take the board), but also it's one of the most fulfilling things to do in this world... reaching out and helping those sick and people who are in need. But more than that, my sister and I, are most happy because by joining this Medical Mission, we did not only help the physical needs of our brothers and sisters, but most importantly their emotional and spiritual needs. 

We believe that only God can quench a thirsty soul, and when we share the goodness of the Lord to the people around, they will taste His unending favor, love and grace... and they will have that contentment... that's found only in the Lord. :)


Some of us were assigned in the Counseling Team, and that's were they talk to the people individually, and listen to the people's stories, and then share the love of God for them. It's really amazing! I believe that God really had a beautiful purpose for bringing us all together to form a team that would go and reach out to His people.

It was a long day, but we had fun and we learned many things. It was fulfilling. It's priceless. We pray that we could do this again in the days to come.

Glory to God! :>


How about you? Get up! :)  reach out, and start by sharing that smile, and even simple and short encouraging words to a friend, you'll never know how God uses small things into a greater purpose. :)

All in favor (by Joseph Prince)


All in Favor
Because of what Christ did on the cross, we can expect God’s best
by Joseph Prince

All believers want to experience God’s unmerited favor. We all want to enjoy God’s best and richest blessings. We want His provision, health and power flowing mightily in our lives. All these blessings are wrapped up in God’s grace. When His unmerited favor is on our side, nothing can stand against us. But if we can’t earn or deserve it, how can we be confident that we have His unmerited favor? 
Our righteousness in Christ is our right to God’s unmerited favor. At Golgotha, the sinless Man became sin so that we could become the righteousness of God in Him. We can ask God for big things because we’ve been made the righteousness of God through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. 
Many believers associate righteousness with a list of things they have to do. If they fulfill this list, they feel “righteous”; when they fail in terms of their actions or behavior, they feel “unrighteous.” This is the wrong understanding of righteousness.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For He [God] made Him [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (NKJV). We aren’t righteous because we do right. We became righteous because of what Jesus did for us at the cross. Christianity isn’t about doing right to become righteous. It’s all about believing right in Jesus to become righteous. Attempting to be justified by good works and trying to keep the Ten Commandments to become righteous is to negate the cross of Christ. It’s as good as saying: “The cross is not enough to justify me. I need to depend on my good works to make myself clean and righteous before God.” 
The grace of God is the unearned, undeserved and unmerited favor of God. When God answers you in your most undeserving moment, that is grace. That is His amazing, unmerited favor. At our lowest point, our darkest hour, His light shines through for us and we become a recipient of His unmerited favor. In and of ourselves, we don’t deserve anything good. But because we are in Christ and in His righteousness, God will not withhold any blessing from our lives today. Our part isn’t to struggle in our own works and be independent from God, but to focus on receiving all that we need from Him. 
I believe the more righteousness-conscious we are, the more of God’s unmerited favor we will experience. When the voice of disqualification comes to remind us of all the areas we’ve fallen short in, that’s the time to turn to Jesus and hear His voice, which qualifies us. Because of what Jesus did on the cross, we can expect good things to happen to us. We can ask God for big things and reach out to the blessed destiny that He has for us and our family members. His righteousness is our right to God’s unmerited favor.

The soul mystery of love 

There is one thing no one could ever explain as further as we would want to. Although it is said to be the thing that makes the world go round, it never lost its mystery. Perhaps, love is really meant to be that way, beautiful yet very complicated. It gives us inspiration and emotions that which we could not find anywhere else. It is the bond that binds a family, a couple, and the circle of friends. It is naturally rooted deep within our hearts, and in our being. Although life may seem to be topsy-turvy, love always abounds in everything. Let’s just say that conflicts occur in different relationships, but if we listen to the beat of love, and let it just speak of what’s important, those misunderstandings will just find its way into resolution.

It is expressed in various ways because people have different personalities. Some may be so expressive that they show it by hugging and kissing on the cheek. Some may show it in a subtle way, like writing a letter or just preparing breakfast for a loved one. Others express it through writing compositions or songs. Whatever way it may be, the same thing is passed on.

There is also what we call teenage love or puppy love; some may refer to it as just infatuation, but who knows? Love has no age. It can be felt when we are too young or when our hairs turn into gray. Love is a mystery, and yes we find no reason why we love a person, because that is what makes it beautiful.
