What Went Wrong??

haha
what went wrong?
why do people not step out and do something for their King?
why do people not want to get invovled in 'things'?
why do people feel so reluctant to try to do new things?
based on a very inspiring conversation
two conclusions were drawn

Point 1: Fear
Fear signifies the lack of courage to attempt
the lack of trust in your King
the lack of faith to perform
fear of not being able
fear of not doing it well
fear of failure
fear of what other may think
fear of making a fool
endless....
but overcoming the fear leads to greater faith
fear not deal with, remains an obstacle for growth
'Fear not, For I AM with you'
good point. silence. but not practical. i am human. someone else can do it better than me.
it's not my calling. maybe. silence. is it only excuses? Dunno.

Point 2: Love
two person makes a relationship possible
King says: i love you
Me says: i know you love me
sometimes it stops here
it becomes a one-sided love affair
the relationship is not complete
until Me says: i love you too
would you listen and obey someone you don't love?
would you spend time with someone you don't love?
would you invest in someone you don't love?
I won't. not sure about you.

My conversation partner said
to have a car is very convenient. i can travel anywhere. i can help others too
but i sold my car. and now i have more time at home
instead of spending two hours to travel somewhere to have a meal
now i cook simple at home which takes only 30mins
i presume he did love his car. it is a sports car
but i believe he love something else more now
mmm....
and he said "you become what you invest your time on"
a finance person will naturally read financial magazines and stuff...
an aspiring singer will train her vocals

what then should the children of Kingdom do?
mmm pretty obvious as to what went wrong....

bOxed IN

for awhile i was living with unsaid boundaries
boundaries created by the system
may even be by well meaning friends
i guessed that was what the devil wanted
making us ashame of something beautiful
sowing seeds of doubt in our mind
but i have learnt that we need to be an Obedient Rebel
hmmmmm
rebel but obedient!???
yea
that's what the world needs
people who dares to challenge the system
and stand firm in what they believe
to bring radical transformation
I will not give up.....
continue praying and speaking forth HIS will

courtship

my prince
He wooed me out of wilderness
He continues to shower me with love
He lifts me up when i am down
He kisses away my tears when i weep
He comforts me when i am in dispair
He becomes my target of anger when i am provoked
He becomes my target to vent my frustration
He becomes my strength when i waver
He shields me from my enemies
He protects me from harm
He appears when i lost hope
I am so flawed, yet He calls me the beautiful One
How can i not be moved?
How i hope everyone sees the beauty that i see
it thrills my heart when i see others rejoicing in the same courtship
my heart cries when people do not treasure the courtship
the courtship never ceases
each day i get to know my groom more
each day enjoying His loving kindness
and i tell myself, all these heartache is worth it
i hope that all courtships will bloom and bear fruit
fruit of love, joy, peace, faith and hope

TrialSsssss

Trials......
one word that most people will hate
it brings hardship, pain, uncertainty, fear....
but for Jesus followers, it is a good thing
it's like the process of refining a rough diamond
i remembered asking God
'i want to grow faster, regardless of how painful it is...'
well, i took HIM seriously, and ofcos HE answers prayers right?...
and we are in 'serious business' now...
lol
so much has happened, i thought i am gonna drown
but God is merciful and gracious
this is only a taste of what is to come....
It already tasted bitter to me now....but God is good...
He is preparing me to take on a greater leap of faith
it is super duper difficult...
it is so tempting to give it all up...
BUT the devil shall not have the last laugh!
The father of all lies was defeated at the cross
and i am going to claim that promise of victory..
YAY
