Two questions

1. Have you come to the place in your spiritual life( journey) where you know for certain that if you die tonight, you would go to heaven?

2. If you stood before God and he would ask you: " Why should I let you into My heaven?"   
What would you say?

A question to ponder

One day, Jesus stand in front of you and ask:
 "What do you want me to do for you?"
 what is your answer?
think of it, and be honest to yourself..
deep in your heart, what you really want...

Closer

Looking back this week...
I found that it was a week where i need Him the most...
Something hit me on wed..
I was panic at that time..
I totally don't know what to do...

There is nothing i can do...
I was weak and helpless...
Nobody else can help me..
That 's the time where i turn to Him...
Only He can save me from the trouble...
I cried out to Him...
I really cried out to Him...
It was my first time that I cried to Him...
I totally fall onto my knee ..

At that point of time, i found how weak I am...
How helpless I am...
That was the time where i surrender myself to Him...
Allow Him to take control over my life..
He is the one who gave me life, He is the one brought me here...
And He is the one allow this thing to happen..
God is sovereign....
No matter what consequences of it, i will accept it, because i know He is in control..
However, i put my trust in Him, He will be with me all the way, to walk through the journey

When i think deeply, i find how amazing He is to teach me lesson...
He is such a kind Father who wanted to discipline and teach me..
I learnt  from that experience
I learn how to depend on Him
I learn how to seek Him all the time, good or bad time
I learn how to give thanks to Him in the midst of trouble
I learn how to surrender myself to Him
Most important I learn how to trust Him that He works for good
In my eyes, i may perceive it as bad to me, however, in His eyes, it's good to me...
I learn try to perceive thing as He does, try to perceive in His angle.....
Praise God when everything is good,
Praise God too when it's in the bad time

I totally know the situation where everything around you turn against you, and there is no one can help you..
At that time, the only person I can turn to is God...
He is there with me all the times...
He watch, He listen, He hug..
He is there...




Cry out to Jesus- lyric
 
To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

Chorus

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith and love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering
 
When your lonely (when you're lonely)
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight



It a nice song~ speak to my heart <3

Time to update

Wah!! It has been almost two weeks that i didn't update...

However, I'm thankful for past two weeks..
God is good. =) He is always good.

Last two week, I m attending a seminar which is The Basic Youth Conflicts Seminar by Bill Gothard
It was really a great seminar...i had being exposed to a lot of truth..until now i still have parts that i didn't digest...i need to go through the teaching again..thank god that church have it for 5 months..
The seminar is about 7 principles of life....the seminar really open my eyes...
Something that i really want to give thanks to Lord is He is the all mighty God who multiple my time
The Seminar is from mon to sat from 6pm-10pm, except sat is from 9am to 3pm.
and the week after this seminar, i have two exams..and i didnt finish study before the seminar start, that's mean i have to study during the week of the seminar.
if you know me well, i m the person who need to study...I cant go take exam without study.
There is a lot of chapter cover in the exam, and my speed of study is kind slow...
I was a little bit worry of how m i going to finish the syllabus..
however, i pray to God that He will provide the way and give me strength to finish it.

God is good! I went to the seminar everyday without fail, and He multiply my time..
I being able to finish those chapters before the exams and i even have to time to do revision..
How great it is..
I knew that it is not my own strength that i can finished the study...
Is by God grace that He gave me the strength to finish it...
How wonderful He is...

Besides that, during the week of seminar..
I don't know why, my spirit was very happy the whole week without fail and i m looking forward for tomorrow during that entire week..
It has been a long time since i last felt this kind of joy in my spirit..
My spirit was so fresh, joyful and happy..
it was really hard to describe...
Is like my spirit is dancing all the times

haha...
I really felt that this two weeks is very fruitful...
I am thankful for everything. =D

Tremendous Finding

This few week, in our CCF service, Ps. Juan had started the topic of Chinese culture..
in his second series, he mentioned that most of the Chinese think that Christianity is a western religion...
However, he said it is not true, Bible has mention about China in four thousand years ago( i forget what are those verses).
if you really study bible, you find the fact that in the China history, people worship "God"...
and the Chinese character actually came from Christianity...
Ps. juan gave a lot of example and i forget to write it down..
it's a powerful message that Chinese is not abandoned by God, He actually appear in Chinese history..

and yesterday because CCF is fall in between of good friday and easter,
Uncle Sebastian shared a powerful fact about the existence of Christianity in our Chinese history
He found a poem which is composed by Emperor KangXi...
below is the true version of the poem in chinese character following by translation :

十架颂

功求十字血成溪,百丈恩流分自西,

身列四衙半夜路,徒方三背两番鸡,

五千鞭挞寸肤裂,六尺悬垂二盗齐,

  惨劫八垓惊九品,七言一毕万灵啼

注:
一、此诗属「数字度量入诗」的诗作,押[八齐]韵,内容概述耶稣受难的经过。

二、「功求十字」在其它的版本中有的写成「功成十架」、「功成十字」

三、「溪」:古音「妻」([集韵][会韵]牵奚切),原音不与「西」同音。

四、「四衙」:指耶稣被捕后历经四府衙审讯

五、「徒方三背两番鸡」:伯多禄这大徒弟方才在鸡叫二次以前三次不认主。

六、「惨劫」:「劫」字是入声(属仄声),在其它版本用「动」、「恸」或 
             「痛」,    意思都可以解释得通。

七、「垓」:音「该」([集韵][会韵]柯开切)。地极,全世界。《易经?系词》天七地
         八。

八、「九品」:众生。语出净土佛学用语,众生之感智机行等皆分成九种品类,即: 上
         上、中上、下上、上中、中中、下中、上下、中下、下下也。

九、「七言」:即耶稣在十字架上共说了七句话*。

康熙皇帝是清朝历史上在位最长的皇帝。他又千古一帝的美誉。 康熙虽身为皇帝, 却也敬拜上帝,接受基督的救恩。 
从文中,你会发现到多处都是取自圣经, 可见他熟读圣经, 而其中流露出的切身哀愁让我们看到, 基督甘上十架,舍身救世人的恩典, 深深名刻于康熙心中。 
from the poem, u can find that Christianity appear in our Chinese history. 


Translation : 




Translated by (Lawrence C. Wei)


Mission fulfilled on the cross, His blood turned into a creek.

Stream of Grace flowed from the west, long and deep.

He walked the midnight road to present Himself to be tried.

The disciple denied Him thrice before the rooster crowed twice.

Every inch of His skin was torn with five thousand whips.

His six-foot body hanged down between two thieves.

To the end of the world, sadness astonished all people,

After His last seven words were said, millions of souls cried in 
sorrow.

Note: This poem was written in Chinese Standard form (7x8 matrix) of Poetry by Emperor Kangxi. This type of poetry has strictly regulated tones and syllables, popular since Tang Dynasty. It shows that Kangxi had studied the four Gospels. He knew details of the Passion of Jesus: the betrayal, the trials and being nailed on the cross hanging between two thieves, and Jesus’ last seven sayings.

* are you touched by the poem? yes, i did. If you study the original version( chinese version), u will truly understand his feeling toward jesus. The chinese version is powerful coz is originated written in CHinese.
If you are reading this post and don't know about Jesus, i would like to invite you to open your heart and come to know Him as person. I m not calling you to become Christian, just a invitation card for you to know Jesus, know His love, His grace and what He has gone through for us.
God Bless you. =D

It was a powerful message...

After that, we had a wonderful fellowship at a Forest Hall..

We baked cookies to give to the resident who live in Forest Hall and we collect trash from the resident..
We knocked door by door, bless them with cookies and collect their trash...
It was a great experience, because it was my first time doing this thing for Jesus..
Today is good friday, we just wan to do a little thing to honor Him...
After distributed to all the resident, we gather at Stevenney's room hang out for a while..
and the spirit filled us and we sang "how great is our God" to end our day...
At that time, i really felt that God's spirit is with us...
Praise the Lord...

It was a great night...
Today is a day that we need to remember that there is one Man who use His blood and flesh to wash away our sin...
Thank for His unconditional love..
By His grace, my old self have gone and rejoice with His goodness...
