If We Know The Truth ...

Whether we believe we're born from our mother's womb does not change the fact that we were born from our mother's womb - but of course we believe because they tell us so as we live under the same roof, growing up calling Mommy n Daddy, under the wings of the angels we call Mom and Dad, in this case we believe not because of pure faith but because of what we hear and see physically .... the same of which, whether we believe God created us or not does not change the truth about God who created us. We didn't have a video clip of the time God created the world and all the wonderful things in it, but that doesnt mean it didn't happen ... we couldnt remember crying when we're a baby or when we're 1 or 2 or 3 or even did certain things we could not remember does not mean it didn't happen.

Rejecting God, putting God out of our lives, hiding from God, running from God, all kinds of many things we do does not change the truth about God being the creator of the world. The only way you can find this "truth" is to seek for yourself, make an appointment with God, have a little chat and He can help open your eyes to see and ears to hear, all about what He has done (not just for you but for humanity) .... What is the truth? Truth is, God created all the wonderful things of the world because He loved us. Everything belongs to God and in good faith He has lend to us use all these wonderful resources - air, water, environment, skills, knowledge, relationships ... Once we realize this wonderful truth, we begin to be thankful about every little thing God had created (even for non-believers!!) and realize how gracious God has been... We then start to appreciate these things (from co-workers, our jobs, our friends, our family, even people who are mean to us! yummy food, beautiful beach, sophisticated sky-scrapers, anything that ever existed!) and not just appreciate but to be good stewart of all these resources that does not belong to us, we begin to care for all of these things ...... our slowly, you become smaller and smaller and the world becomes larger and larger because God is good and God is big. We begin to see big things, and think big ................ because thats when we take our focus off our small 'self'/fish desires.

Have you ever heard of friends telling you, I dont care what others think .. I dont care what they do ... I dont really care if God existed as long as I am doing good things, as long as I have my family... as long as I stay clear from people's business, as long as I do my own things I am happy ........ It's really not my business .. I am happy as long as I get to do what I want, I don't really care about religion, I don't really care if my friend believes in the truth .. it's really up to him or her ... Maybe your friends wont tell you, but in their hearts they feel this way ... the heart can speak even if we do not utter words ....

If we have the Truth ...... we will care ... we will care for the environment, we will care for what's going on with our friends lives, we will care for our enemies welfare, we will care for our husband's needs, we will care for our parents needs, we will care for our granny's needs, we will care for our next door neighbour, we will care for our boss's happiness, we will care for pple who does not share the same faith, we will care for people we dont know, we will care about what we eat, we will care about the cleaniness of our home, we will care to do smoething that will not benefit us in return, we will care to go the extra miles for those in need, we will look for opportunities to help people, we will care for everything that we come in contact with .. everything that God has graciously put in our lives... we will care about everything that we do not want to care about .. if we know the Truth ....

Thank You Lord, For Others

Sooooooooo gooooooooood to be out there in the nature with the Lord, seeing all the mighty things and the little little things, from the tiny sand to the great big blue sea and the sunshine that help plants grow! As I walked along the beach, I see so many people enjoying what the Lord had graciously created for all human beings - and one look I can see, many on the beach did not believe Him, many would have rejected Him too ... some may believe but did not love Him truly.. yet.. He blessed them with all the things He had created so they may use them (in our words - enjoy them) ..... I thank the Lord for Hig big big big big heart for all human kind!

At night, I came across this verse: "May the Lord richly bless both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth. The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all humanity" (Psalms 115:14-16)

Indeed, whether or not they believed in Him, whether or not they are thankful to Him, whether or not they loved Him, whether or not they wanted to please Him .. He allowed them to use the Earth freely ....

My 31st Birthday

For the first time in my worklife, I do not need to think or plan or take a day off on my birthday and do or need something special, for everyday now life is filled with so much treasures from God, I am so busy fixing my bad habits, wrong thinking and excited to apply new skills and virtues in which God has graciously given to me eventhough I do not deserve it. Thank you Lord!

But there is soemthing I want to do for my birthday, that is from now on I will start a daily prayer for Jesus based on the Lords prayer.

"But seek first thy Kingdom of God, and all these shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33)

Say Thanks To God

God is not nature, but is revealed by nature ... dont ignore God .. even if you don't know Him personally - some part of you arleady knew He existed... at least say thanks to Him for all that you've received from the second you're born into this world ... you did not have to earn it but you have already received so much goodness from the day you're conceived. Be thankful to your Creator .... and learn His ways for He has much to say ....

Romans 1:18-23: But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities - his external power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds become dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter folls instead. And instead of worshipping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes...
