[FRIENDS]

ESPECIALLY FOR: MY DEAR FRIENDS OF 4E, 1A02 AND ALL NON- CHRISTIANS OUT THERE IMAGINE: You are walking in a desert...perspiration drenches your face..the sunlight pierces through your skin, at times blinding you..the stiffling heat is overbearing, and as you drag your tired self on, suffering of thrist and hunger, and you wonder why you bother to continue living..life to you has become meaningless.. its all a vicious cycle...you walk aimlessly and endlessly, just to find yourself following your own footprints of the previous day..serveral vultures trail behind you, their glare is fixed on you...you cry out in agony, but not one seems to hear or see you..all hope to you is lost... Or so it seems.. Suddenly, you see a trickle of water flowing right beneath your feet..could it be? you wonder whether it is a mirage, but as the trickle turns into a small stream, you start to believe, and you follow that stream...and as the stream gets wider, you see a shape in the distance..you start running to it, and what lies before you is a mountain in all its splendour. Out of this mountain flows streams of fresh spring water. You drink from the stream, and the water is as sweet as ever. The vultures disappear..You stare in amazement..how could it be? But the mountain still stands there, as majestic as ever... Do you believe? Do you believe that just as there was a mountain in the desert, God can do the impossible? Do you believe that just as fresh spring water flowed out of the mountain, God is giving you an opputunity to drink from His well? Do you believe that just as how all hope is lost in the dersert, God has put that mountain of hope to restore your broken life and give you the hope that you need to start life afresh? Do you believe that God can erase that past that huants you, just as vultures do in a dersert, and give you a new life? Do you believe? Believe it. Believe that God is real. Because in John chp 3:16 it says:" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God loves you so much, that he sent his son to die for YOU. Believe that God can do the impossible. Because in Isaiah 49:19 it says;" See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not percieve it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Believe that God wll always be there for you, through the thick and thin. because in Psalms chp 23:4 it says:" Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Believe it. Now you have a choice. The mountain represents God. He will always be there when things seem impossible to solve. Now you can choose to run to that mountain where you can seek shelter from, or you can just treat it as a mirage. The choice is yours. If you have chose to believe that God is real, and you believe that Jesus came down and died on the cross to take away your sins and then rose again, say this with all your heart: " Dear Jesus, I believe you are tha Son of God and that you gave your life as a payment for the sins of mankind. I believe you rose from the dead and you are alive today in heaven preparing a place for those who trust in you. I have not lived in a way that honours you. Please forgive me for my sins and come into my life as Saviour and Lord. Help me grow in knowledge and obedience to you. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. Amen." ( prayer taken from stories for the extreme teen's heart) If you prayed that prayer, CONGRATULATIONS, the angels are rejoicing in heaven now. If you have not, God will always be waiting for you to accept Him:)

[[ John 3:16 ]]
For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.

[[ John 14:6 ]]
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.

[[ John 8:32 ]]
Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.

He l[0]ves yo~~[u]~~*.

[ LIVING FOR JESUS ]

Lord You never cease to amaze me...I'm still quite stunned at what just happened just now...happy-stunned...no, wait, more like exhilarated-stunned...could it be? Could this be the turning point in our relationship? The relationship that died more than 5 years ago? could it finally be that he actually wants to be my friend? God, he invited me to hang out with his friends! Well okay, his friends are prob lots of my friends too since they're megalifers..but... After all those times where...but anyway that was the past...and..if you actually read my blog....i want you to know that i've forgiven you...and im sorry i act so jerkish sometimes...i just wanna be your friend...more than that, i wanna be that sister thats always there for you..to comfort you when youre down and pick you up when u feel small...i wanna be a real sis..not a stranger living in the same house as you...Lord I pray you continue to grow this friendship...Lord you know how much i long to be so much closer to him..i love him Lord...so much..and i dont wanna hurt him anymore... :)

Today was another slack day...got about doing my reflection paper for FP...still need to improve on it..went to the dentist in the afternoon...its in the city, next to Funan Centre...dad brought me there( thanks dad!), the dentist specialises in braces..today was my first appointment..so its quite official, im getting my braces somewhere in early August..i shall get multi-colour braces! yay! ok i better not, haha..maybe i'll get multicolours in the festive season of december or something, haha...i shall get blue!:D yay blue rocks...wish they had glow-in-the-dark ones...then when theres a black out theres one more reason to smile, haha:D

today God spoke to me through an old comic-magazine...its a magazine called 'Tammy" dated 1984..haha yeah its old..but the stories are quite cool to read for fun..if uve been to UK then maybe u saw it ten years ago..cos my mum bought a whole collection of that type of magazine when we went there when i was 4...anyways, i was reading a story, 'Mask for Melissa', bout a girl who gets spotted by this guy who says she has great talent in acting and she goes to his school to learn how to act..and in the process discovers shes there more because of her looks than her talent...then she gets into an accident and is scarred..she cant bear to look at herself and hides behind a mask and even changes her name and gets a job somewhere else...in the end she removes it in public in order to save someone's life and discover that her scars are gone...

Well, its quite a long story, but thats the brief summary..and how did God speak through the story? Well its to do with rejection. Imagine youre very popular and everthing..and suddenly someone rejects you...maybe a few someones rejects you..maybe your loved ones start to reject you..and it leaves such a deep scar in your heart...and you start trying to hide your rejection...a mask...a cover-up...outside your seem fine..you start pretending that you're alright, you start to live a pretend life...you feign cheerfulness in front of others..but at night..when everyone else is gone..you take off that mask and you start to weep..you cry out but no one seems to hear you...Ever felt that way? Well i have..i felt so rejected by my own family...my friends...and it took serveral altar calls over a period of more than two years before i finally released the last of my rejection to God...and when i finally let all of it go...that joy just came over me..it doesnt matter what others think of me, i am after all an alien living in this land that God has put me in to do what he has called me to do..its what God thinks of me..cos in the end, He is all that matters..What im trying to drive across is that..everyone has a choice...you can coninue to dwell in your hurt and feel rejected your whole life...or you can surrender your rejection to God...and once you've done that..God can amaze you in ways that are beyond this world..Just remember..Jesus is not so interested on how you appear in front of others...He's more interested in what's going on in your heart...He's more interested in what's going on deep down inside where no one else can see...and unless you surrender what's inside to Him, he cant give you that peace and joy that you long for....

Just something that God made me think about: Soot and ashes cannot be used for anything..in fact it causes pollution on earth..only when there's a flame buring brightly for God can Jesus use it to draw all men to His saving grace....God please use me for your glory....
