lifted

God, has been good to me

He was there all the time

when i was downcast

He spoke to me, He gave me joy

He picked me up from the darkness

when i was in fear

He calmed me

He gave me words of encouragement

life, and power

He is truly a living God

He is always present

in Him, joy is sufficient

down the road,

there might be a Red Sea

but God can part it for us to cross

give thanks to the Lord

for He is good

His love endures forever

shattered

a broken spirit,

a broken and contrite heart..

O God, you will not despise..

in You i will find joy,

in You i will find peace,

let me be a sweet fragrance unto You

and a song which is pleasing to Your ear

challenges

Jesus walked on water

matthew 14:22-36

i think that walking on water

is something which is impossible to do

and after reading the scripture again

before Jesus walked on water

He actually prayed

i realized, that to accomplish anything

prayer is the key

God can perform miracle for us

"God will never call you to a task without

going with you to see it through.

He will provide all that you need."

not moving, till You move me

to just wait upon the Lord

and not making any move

until He leads me

just hold on, put it on hold

till He speaks

for these past few days

i've been struggling

but as i wait, and wait

i see that obedience produces fruits

"trust and obey"

freedom

it is not right

and i know it cannot continue to prolong

it needs to stop coz

i want to serve You wholeheartedly

i want to live out who i was created to be

i need to first take that step of faith

and in His mighty name, Jesus

breakthrough is gonna happen

He is able, He is with me thru it

and i will be freed from that stronghold forever

"do not be afraid, for I am with you.."

sacrificial love

my first love,

the one who loved me first

"This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent His son as an atoning sacrifice
for our sins." 1 John 4:10

when you love someone,
you have that person in mind
you are willing to sacrifice for that person
the love that brings good to that person

how much more for a God who loved me first
He knows me, He knows my every thought
He knows each tear that fall
He knows what i need to grow and
He knows what i need to be able to be with Him again
He did it for me
and most importantly He loves me

"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and not only for ours
but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2

resist

tempted

by a big banquet of food?

to put coins into the jackpot hole?

by a cute guy or a girl just passed by?

by worldly persuasion?

is your flesh crying out?

because Jesus has overcame the world

then those who believe in Him

is an overcomer

stop feeding the flesh and

start feeding on His word

a bible scripture marathon

instead of a movie marathon

find great delight in Him

because Jesus said,

"Man does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God." -Matt 4:4
