holiday

going HK with lyn pam jord gab and paul!!!!!!! i can't wait. :):) from 6-12 march. sad thing is i'll be spending my birthday overseas

O God, purify me.

it's not about how near we can get to the line we've drawn and not cross it.
it's about how far we can stay away from the line we've drawn.
maybe... this is how we learn how to love. (fyi, nt talking about bgr...)

blessed.

Somebody said that I would follow Jesus “with too much devotion”. But who can prove that my coffee is too sweet for me? It is a matter of personal preference. Not so? As for me I cannot get enough of the Lord. “To me He is so wonderful…because He first loved me” REINHARD BONNKE

 I don’t play the piano to prove that I have fingers. Yes, of course, I have fingers, but I play the piano because I love music. Jesus doesn’t set the captives free and heal the sick to prove anything. HE DOES IT BECAUSE HE LOVES US. Understood? REINHARD BONNKE

To have Christ’s ministry is possible, but only to the degree of His compassion. REINHARD BONNKE

Many churches are very active, but active doing what? To fiddle about with secular issues is one way to look impres¬sively busy and "relevant." But to bring the Gospel to a dying world is the true relevance. Agreed? REINHARD BONNKE

Confused with changes, the world today needs the rock of the unchanging Christ. REINHARD BONNKE

When an old person gets saved, a soul gets saved. When a young person gets saved, both a soul and a lifetime are saved. REINHARD BONNKE

 Faith in God is not what you think, but what you DO. REINHARD BONNKE

People spread tables for their heathen gods, but the God of the Bible spreads the table for His children. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” (Psalm 23,5) REINHARD BONNKE

People say they "found the Lord", but the Lord was never lost. We were lost and Jesus found us. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE

The God who created the world also created the Gospel. But it was at far greater cost. It is God in action, in the mire of the battlefield. He has put His very Self, His Son and His blood into this Gospel. In this harsh world nothing less than a Calvary Gospel is credible. “For God so loved the world…” REINHARD BONNKE

The Holy Spirit has clothed Himself with the Gospel. He is the hand in the glove of the preached Word. Paul said in 1 Thes. 1:5, "Our Gospel came to you not simply with words but with power, with the Holy Spirit". When it is preached the Holy Spirit operates. REINHARD BONNKE

The Holy Spirit is God in action on earth. REINHARD BONNKE

None of us was asked if he wanted to be born, but we are all asked if we want to be born-again. REINHARD BONNKE

The same hand that had locked the world OUT of Noah’s Ark had locked Noah and his family IN. The rich outside were lost - the poor inside were saved. The most uneducated inside was saved – the most educated outside was lost. Jesus Christ is the key to THE ARK OF SALVATION. “Ask and you shall receive…” REINHARD BONNKE

God’s will is our future. Outside His will there is nothing. If we do not follow His purposes, we are wasted products, scraps on the workroom floor. Those, who forever seek the will of God are overrun by those who do the will of God. God bless you. Greetings from Nigeria. REINHARD BONNKE

The Holy Spirit is not an influence, a cloud, or an ambience, quantifiable or measured by any spiritual standard. The Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead. He comes as a Person, not as a feeling. Is he more present sometimes than others? No, not at all - a person cannot be more present anywhere or appear in percentages. The Holy Spirit is fully with God’s people. REINHARD BONNKE

Faith, like wiring, carries power, but is not power. It links us to the power source, God in heaven. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE

Some religions are like aspirin. They relieve the headache, but they “don’t affect the heart”, as the advertisement goes. Only Jesus can help when it is “heart failure.” ONLY JESUS SAVES. Reinhard Bonnke

Dear reader, only Jesus saves, He is the only way to your salvation. God loves you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So great, yet He hears us from heaven.

1 Pet 5:7
"Cast your cares on God, because He cares for you."

God really cares for us. He has heard every single one of our cries for help. He heard us. and He is still listening. Everytime we call out "God!" He looks down from heaven. He heard every single cry. Whether we know it or not. Even if it was a silent call from our hearts. God is indeed my shepherd, i shall not be in want. Psalm 23:1. He never forsakes us. He never lets us go. That is why we cannot make decisions on how we feel. because there will be times we feel lonely, we feel forsaken. times we can't feel God. emotions are real. but they are not always the truth. in actual fact, we are never forsaken. He holds us. even when we don't feel it. when we move on, it's all because of His grace and His grace only. how great is our God? dearest God,  take me, take my heart. draw me nearer to You. i love You.


For this is God.
Our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide
Even to death. -Psalm 48:14

As the deer panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. -Psalm 42:1

Song of Solomon 5:6 (New International Version)

⁶ I opened for my beloved,
   but my beloved had left; he was gone.
   My heart sank at his departure.
I looked for him but did not find him.
   I called him but he did not answer.

At the beginning of this song, Christ had made the overtures. He came to her door and spoke to her, and she responded to Him. Suddenly, however, He was not there, and she had to persevere in seeking to find Him
again. The Lord wants to stir up our desires for Him and develop in us a  seeking nature, so that we persevere in seeking until He chooses to reveal Himself to us again. He wants to develop a hunger and thirst, a desperation for Him that cannot be accomplished unless He withdraws Himself.

Thus, at times He must withdraw Himself for long periods. We are being tested to see if we are living for "experiences" or for Christ Himself. A test to know if we love Him for who He is. We are being tested, even as the shulamite who said in her darkness, "I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer."


You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.
-Psalm 119:114.


Dearest God, i will still trust in you. I love You. what do i have, if i don't have You? where else can i ever go? O God, i'm nothing without you.

i love You, Jesus.

God's word brings clarity!

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
Psalm 119:105

--------------------------------------------------------

anyway...
(forget it)

Carry me home

Lord bring me home again
I'm no longer able
To bear the bitter winds
Or the heavy rains
I've long been settled
Lord without comfort
Just a man on an earthly throne headed for the grave


Carry me home
Sweet Jesus lift me
Until I've flown
The shadow of shame
Your love alone,
Lord Jesus, mends me..
Lift me up
Oh Lord, carry me home

Lord I've been branded
A loyal sinner
Seems like forever
Since I said Your name
I'm just a pilgrim
Still afraid of dying
But the sea is shining brightly...
With Your grace.

Song of Songs 3:9-10
"King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem."

In the midst of the dryness and trails of the widlerness, the Shulamite was carried in the chariot of the Lord, though she might not have known it. What a beautiful picture... This potrays such a wonderful truth. It is such a comfort to know that in the difficult wilderness journey, in reality, we are.. riding in the chariot of the Lord.. God, even though i feel lost, i will still trust in you. My deliver, is the Lord. I will get there one day. One day i will no longer feel this way.

Jesus carries me when i can no longer go on

"come on cheryl, let's move on."

One of my greatest weaknesses.

i know one of my greatest weakness was always to trust someone. i find it very difficult to trust people. maybe 'cause of the past hurts i've been through... but i guess i never really knew they left such a great impact on me. and honestly, i was very scared what others would think of me... i didn't like to open up to anyone. i would think alot before i talk to someone..because of little upsets, disappointments... and i was blinded. but by God's grace.. i learnt that it is better to always trust than to have never trusted anyone at all. it's worth the hurts. because you'd never know how much a person needs someone to believe in them... maybe just to trust them as a friend. you'd never know. and just like david in the bible. he trusted saul even though saul betrayed him. why was he able to do so? because of his intimacy with God. david was meek. he knows everything is in God's control. and he knows God will protect him. even though he was hurt again, he knows God's love mends. and makes him stronger. it only brings him into a deeper intimacy with God. are you deeply hurt by someone you've placed your trust in? choose to forgive. choose to trust again. trust in God. let God's love restore you. God is greater than our hearts. He is greater than any heartache. there's always a purpose in your weakness.

1 Cor 13

Love always trusts.

i am still learning...

God's love towards us is so beautiful...

i love this pictureee... :) and i love you girls. close to my heart. (taken on reb's 17th)

AND MY DADDY GOT ME A NEW BIBLE!! i've been needing and wanting a new one since forever. my current one (even though i love it alot too) is gonna fall apart anytime! anyway it's NKJV and it's PINK!! i love it... it has interesting notes about the prophets toooo. so cool so cool. thank you Jesus. :)

Jesus hold me now

Lord I just looked up today,
Realised how far away I am from where you are.
I don't know what else to pray...
Broken at Your feet I lay

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel?

One day, Jesus will dance with us. And we will dance with Him... like a bridegroom after his bride's heart. and we will be... like a bride that fully belongs to her King. but for now, i can only imagine.

a song that never gets old...

a pure heart, that's what i long for.
a heart that follows hard, after thee.

a heart that hides Your word,
so that sin will not come in.
a heart that's undivided,
but one You rule and reign.
a heart that beats compassion,
that pleases You my Lord..
a sweet aroma of worship..
that rises.. to Your throne.

i love you as a friend.

friendship is commitment.
and no, it is not a game
it should be Christ-centered
and not for our own selfish gain.

friends stand side by side, keeping their gaze ahead. not at each other. and i wanna be there,  i wanna run this race with you. letcha knw that i have your back. i just want to be a good friend to you.

Friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the lord of them.
