So Loved, So Blessed, So Precious

I experienced early Christmas this year as I started to give out some Christmas presents last week...

Though I have less in worldly wealth this year, I experienced a bigger joy when I started to give...well, you may not believe it but is true...I was very happy & excited giving...

I learned that with a very small budget, I can still get some meaningful gifts...

When I wrote a wish for each of my close friends, God gave me a Word for each of them...For my 4 good friends, they got "Joy"; "Hope"; "Abundant"; and "Love". God's Word meant a lot to them and their hearts were touched.

Isn't this more valuable?

As for me, I also got some wonderful presents from them. I got what I had wanted to buy for myself but due to limited resources this year, I had been procastinating or thought of giving up the idea....never imagined God will cause my friends to bless me with these gifts...Very touched by their love to willingly allow God's divine love to flow through them despite the price tag.

Felt so loved...Isn't this about loving God and loving people?
(Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' )

On top of that, I got words from Daddy God through these precious siblings in Christ!

Hope it speaks to you too as I share below:

+ Drink from the water of the Lord

+ Patience is not merely waiting, it is how you act while you are waiting. It is during the waiting periods of life that the most powerful things will happen within you.

+ Psalms 25:5
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

+ May you continue to let your light shine for Him

Christmas is Coming....

As I prepare for Christmas, making a list of gifts to buy...
I was reminded the real meaning of Christmas...
why do we give presents...

Christmas is to remember Jesus's birthday!
He came to save us...because He loves us so much...
He gave Himself...

We love Him back and as an expression of the overflowing love through us...
We gave to others...
The heart of giving is motivated by love...
Because He first love us!

Here's a song to express it all:

WE WERE THE REASON

As little children, we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realised a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

CHORUS:
We were the reason that
He gave his life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by, we learn more about gifts
The giving of ourselves in what that means on the dark and cloudy day
Man hung crying in the rain
Because of love (x2)
Oh…..

[BRIDGE]
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

[Repeat Chorus]

He gave me a reason
He is the reason to live...

Don’t you know
Don’t you know the reason
that he gave, he gave to save us
We are the reason that he suffered & die
To a world that was lost
He gave everything, everything
Oh……live
Oh, yes he came
Jesus, I want to thank you, thank you Lord, to show us a reason to live Ah….ah…..He is the reason to LIVE!

Rated BEST Christian Blog of the Week!

Very honoured to be rated "Best Christian Blog of the Week" by CybeRanger.


All Glory to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour!!

Do not be Afraid...

I told God I was afraid....I was afraid to venture out to the unknown....I was afraid I will fail, knowing all my weaknesses and personal limited capabilities and resources. I know Jesus said in Matthew 19:26 "...with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible...."

Then...I stumbled into this video...seems like God is speaking to me...so comforting, inspiring and encouraging...

Look out for the soaring eagle towards the end & feel the holy spirit rising inside you...Be Touched!

Informal translation of the song lyrics for my English readers:

Proverbs 6:22 When you walk, they (His Word/He) will guide you; when you sleep, they (His Word/He) will watch over you; when you awake, they (His Word/He) will speak to you.

Verse
It is dawn, I started sailing
No matter where the wind blows
I am not afraid of darkness nor the thick fog
I depend on God to move forward

Chrous
In life's journey, God's grace is holding on to me
Although strong waves are hitting against me
But my Lord is in control
I won't fall and sink
I can sail peacefully
In God's grace,
He is leading me to move forward

Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

[Repeat verse & chrous]

Isaiah 55:12 "For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
