Hebrews 4:12-16Only Jesus Christ is a truly innocent man.Only Jesus lived a life of sinless perfection & took upon Himself a punishment so tt we could b forgiven.He deserved none of it & He took all of it.
To meditate upon e injustice of Christ's suffering shld cause a holy anger to well up within our souls.& further,it shld cause a determined recommitment to live a life of grateful holiness.E greatest injustice of all would b to cont' in e sin from which Jesus suffered to set us free.

John 3:16-18In the beggining, GOD created the sun, moon, every star, all the surrounding planets, and the earth (Genesis 1). You and I have no idea what GOD's activities may have been elsewhere in the universe, but according to the Bible and as far as He wanted us to know, He picked out one tiny speck on which to build a world - our world. And He picked it out so that when the time had fully come, HE could send His Son (Galatians 4:4).
Can you imagine the fellowship of the members of the Trinity on the seventh day? As they rested and looked over the very good work they had accomplished, one planet had been tended like no other. Perfectly placed in the universe, with adequate distance from the sun, moon, and stars, and able to sustain human life - it was chosen for divine purpose.
"For GOD so loved the world." The Bible doesn't tell us He loved the sun, though it's the most impressive among the heavenly bodies we can see. Nor are we told that He loved the stars, even though GOD "determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names" (Psalm 147:4).
John goes out of his way, however, to tell us - not just that GOD loved the world - but that He so loved the world. In a universe so vast, why does GOD single out one little planet to love?
It's because we are on it. As despicable as humanity can be, GOD loves us. We are His treasures, His creation. He loves us so much that He did something that we would not do for anyone. He "gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). I've been paid for in FULL 10:02 PM

Luke 23:42-43Lament began in a garden, when the first man and woman disobeyed the single command of GOD. The promise of JESUS to another crucified man is that he will awaken with Him in the garden that he -that we all- are created to inhabit. The nameless criminal will close his eyes in excruciating pain (The root of the word excruciating is "crux" or "cross."), and open them in an indescribable garden. There, with him, will be JESUS. The only reason he will wake up in Paradise is simply because he asked the LORD to be remembered. I've been paid for in FULL 11:53 PM

1 Timonthy 6:11-16What are we holding on to? All of us need to ask ourselves this question. Without a doubt, we are living in a messed-up world, and it's no wonder that sometimes we find ourselves over-whelmed by the powers of darkness. At this point of despair, we need to follow Paul's advice to Timonthy, to "fight the good fight of faith." And what did Paul say we should be holding on to? Our GOD and eternal life! Cling to the truths and teachings of our Master-Jesus. And ultimately we hold on to the fact that one day we will see Him face-to-face, that good will triumph over evil, and that we will reign with Him in heaven forever.
Don't despair. There's a happy ending, and you too can be part of this great story. In the battles of life, hold on to eternal life. ^^ GOD may u be the one and only one that we hold onto!!! =) I've been paid for in FULL 10:55 PM

Romans 6:16-18The sobering words in Romans 6:16-18 tells us that freedom from sin is not a freedom from the presence of sin but a freedom from the power of sin. The choice is ours. Are we going to choose to feed and nurture that old slave master called sin, or are we going to acknowledge that the power of sin has been broken? We are free! We are free! Why are we staying on sin's plantation? We don't have to be there. God wants us to run toward righteousness, joy, freedom, and fulfillment. Choose freedom in Christ- not sin and death.

John 12:24-28Material abundance hasn't made anyone happier. More stuff doesn't translate into happier people. Ironically, the more we have, the more we want. The evidence is clear in our own lives when our focus gets off the Lord.
As followers of Christ, we know that if we want to be really happy, and to experience true satisfaction, the one thing we can do is die to self and live for GOD. Jesus gives a little gardening lesson in John 12:24 to teach us this profound truth:"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone;but if it dies,it bears much fruit."A seed has to die before a plant grows.We dont produce godly fruit in our lives unless we die to our own goals, dreams,desires, & ambitions.
Some may think:That doesn't seem right.I lose everything I want?Contrary to how it may seem,you come out the winner when you trade your list for GOD's list.My little goals traded for GOD's promises.My teaspoon of dreams for His ocean of purposes.No one who surrenders everything to Christ has ever regretted it.Millions of satisfied customers have filled e ages.But it's got to be done His way.
Sadly, some who claim to be Christ's followers never get very far on "dying to self."As Jesus Christ's followers,give Him our all.Stop looking for things to give you happiness or satisfaction.When u turn it all over to Him,u will find what u've been looking for all along.

Today i wake up early... haha... play maple.. with two friends.... training them! then at abt 1pm plus...... went out for shepherding with sandy..... she teaches me abt having victory in GOD!! yeah! thank GOD for her that although she is quite busy SOWing and with PW, she still makes time to come down to bishan to meet me!after shepherding... i walk from j8 back home... when i reached home, i saw my primary school frens, shi hui and chen wei! so nice of them to come to visit me... i feel bad to make them wait for me man! err.... then i receive my first birthday present today! it's a really sweet keychain with much blessings i guess! hahas... i parted with my frens and went swimming lesson!
At toa payoh swimming complex... i met up with 4 frens.. the coach is quite a nice guy... his name is joseph lee.. i think he should be a christian bahx... i could tell btw he talk... and he teaches us swimming without him touching the water... cool right? lol...
Today before i went into pool... im feeling anxious and uncertain.. cos i got phobia of water, but after i went into the water... i learnt to trust GOD... and be bold and courageous to try it out to my best... in the end the coach says he can see me putting a lot of effort trying! yeah! and he says he likes my forward freestyle!
We learnt about holding long breath, back stroke, "kicking" water, forward and backward freestyle, forward and backward floating and "pushing" water etc! After swimming... i feel a sense of satisfactory and relaxation! During the swimming, the problem i faced is gastric pain and tiredness... after washing up... i went to fellowship with my frens!
Though we are from different church... but from the depth of our hearts we know that we are sisters-in-christ and we serve the same GOD! yeah yeah... just reach home not long ago.. at about 1115pm... tired! a bit muscle ache... hahas... i think i have been putting deliberate effort to train for dec marathon! jiayou huiying! night everyone!
Tml is service! Hope all the ppl who dont know GOD... will cross the line of salvation soon and those, who are in Christ, will be ministered by Him!! God bless and cya around!!

Romans 12:3-13
When we get to the higher plane of love it will not be hard for us to work for the Lord. God hates the great things in which love is not the motive power, but He delights in the little things that are prompted by a feeling of love.
I am getting sick and tired of hearing the words duty, duty. You hear so many talk about it being the Christian's duty to do this and do that. Is there not a much higher platform than that of mere duty? When that is the constraining power it is so easy to work. It is not hard for a mother to watch over a sick child. You never hear Paul talking about what a hard time he had in his master's service. He was constrained by love to Christ, and by the love of Christ to him. He counted it a joy to labor, and even to suffer, for his blessed master. I've been paid for in FULL 1:30 AM
