Hate

Hi all,

If anyone has been observant enough, they would have realized that under my hate column I had 4 things:
1. C**
2. C. Ronaldo
3. POSERS!!!!!
4. Sin

I think i will cut it down to only sin.

Its because I feel that God wants me to forgive everyone and anyone. Why?
Well simply because he has forgiven me of all the terrible and disgusting things i have done. So if God had done that for me shouldn't I forgiven those who has sinned against me as well. So from today, I will try my best not to hold grudges.(HOW HARD IS THAT GOING TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Who am I to hate other when I should have been hated but instead forgiven. So often i say that i will follow Jesus and be like him. So since he forgave me of all my big sins. If i want to follow him shouldn't i forgiven all the small little insignificant things that have been done against me.



This song is called Second Chance

Verse 1:

You called my name
Reached out Your hand
Restored my life
And I was redeemed
The moment You entered my life
Amazing grace
Christ gave that day
My life was changed
When from my shoulders
Fell the weight of my sin

Chorus:
So it’s with everything I am
I reach out for Your hand
The hope for change
The second chance I’ve gained

On You I throw my life
Casting all my fears aside
How could greater love than this
Ever possibly exist

Verse 2:
Consume my thoughts
As I rest in You
I’m now in love
With a Savior
Bearing the marks of His love

Bridge:
So I’ll wait upon You now
With my hands released to You
Where a little faith’s enough
To see mountains lift and move
And I’ll wait upon You now
Dedicated to Your will
To this love that will remain
A love that never fails

So wad must I do with this second chance that God has so graciously given to me. I have to use it properly and wisely!

Condemnation

Hi all,

Hapy new year!

You noe i have been reflecting since church camp and i come to a conclusion of God does not condemn us, who are we to condemn to condemn ourselves as in seriously...

During the prayer at camp, my cell leader prayed that i would be able to forgive myself to after sinning against God cause GOD HAS already forgiven us... then i was reminded of a sermon by my church saying that sinning against God can brings 2 outcomes:
1. Guilt
2. Shame

And there is a very very very fine line between... the 2... Guilt draws us towards God for forgiveness while sin drives us away from God....

So, this week has been a bad week for me in a sense that I have been facing temptation in many areas and been falling in many of them.. And the past week i have been feeling: DIE LA HOW TO WORSHIP GOD.. HOW TO PRAISE HIM ... and i have been reminded that in his mercy and grace we all have been forgiven and should forgive ourselves and not condemn ourselves...
But at the same time we must not take His grace, mercy and blood for granted.. They were free for us but to God it cost him his son ... so if we really love him we MUST treasure these gifts his has given us.

SO I WANT TO PRAISE AND THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE AND FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHO HAS CLEANSED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you lord help me live a life that is pleasing until you..

God demands perfection .. but we are imperfect and weak soo the very least we HAVE oto give him our very very very best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think these things would be my resolution for the year
1. Be thankful for the blood of Jesus
2. APPRECIATE it (boy this would be hard)
3. give my best and all to God

Haha 3 resolution which are almost impossible to keep if I dont have God's strength!!

Wait correct these resolution ARE impossible to keep if God doesnt help me
