Hey Jude! Hey Jesus!

Be still and know that I am GOD! In the trivial of life, do I have peace? Do I cry out to God or do I worry? What I cannot do well, do I self condemn or do I cry out to our Father in heaven for help? In Christ, there is no condemnation, so I shall not condemn myself and lower my self esteem. It is by grace I live, it is by God's love I live, and it is by the glory of God I am worthy of everything I do.

My eyes are blind that I cannot see you My ears are deaf that I cannot hear you My voice is mute that I cannot sing praise to you What a sinner I am! Have mercy, oh Lord! So I may see, hear and speak to you

I am very good at escaping from reality. When I receive a bad result for assignment or test, I put it away and deliberately ignore it and never really try to sit down and look over what I have done wrong. I am afraid of making mistakes and afraid of accepting negative feedbacks. However, I don't think this will help me to improve, and I will never correct the mistakes I did. My task this week is to be courageous in looking into my mistakes and be corrected and humbly learn my lesson.

I often think I am not smart enough and am often frustrated when I don't acheive as well as I expected. Last week we learned about wisdom in our bible study group, and the Word of God enlightened me. I shall never be ashamed of who I am and what I have not acheived. Rather, I need to acknowledge that wisdom comes from God, and I need to learn that if I didn't perform well, that may mean I have not asked God for enough, I have not drawn closer enough to God and surrender my work to Him. I always need to ask myself: Have I asked God for concentration? Have I asked God for time management? Have I asked God for planning? Have I asked God for direction? Have I asked God for wisdom? It is not about how good I am but it is about how good I am to rely on God!!

Faith can be divided into four aspects 1.emotional faith 2,intellectual faith 3.volitional faith 4. heart faith

John 4:1-30 The Woman at the Well What happens if I was a Samaritan woman, a woman rejected by the society, an outcast who was the lowest of the low approached by Jesus and being offered living water? What would my reaction be? I guess my reaction probably would be the same as the woman, who initially were ignorant about the message of Jesus. Living water? What does it mean? What is so special about it? Well, Jesus refers the living water to the Holy Spirit, who will fulfil the thirst of our inner soul and will last forever. "God's gift of living water produces a profound contentment with God and His ways of treating us, as well as immovable confidence in His wise and loving purpose in them. " Jesus wants us to 1. know the gift of God 2.know Him 3.ask Him to fulfil our thirst 4.humbly receive it What a compassionate thing for Jesus to approach the sinful Samaritan woman! He did not despise her but loved her so much by seeing her needs and offer His wonderful gift to the w

我們事奉乃是感恩的回應，因為能站在神面前事奉，也是神的恩典。 Serving God is a response to our thankful heart, because it is also God's grace that we are able to serve before Him

Yesterday while I was having dinner with my cousin, my stomach started to ache, in fact, it was due to period pain. Initially it wasn't that painful, however, later as we started to have our meals, my belly started to feel an acute pain, the pain was beyond words. I tried to endure the pain and act as if nothing happened, but just as I was trying to cover the pain, my heart started pounding, sweat started to drop, I couldn't stop moving back and forth trying to ease the pain. Just a few minutes after, I couldn't bear it anymore that I had to go to the bathroom and threw up. It was very painful, so painful I just didn't know what to do. I didn't know how I managed to walk home from Box Hill central to home, I just knew it was a very long journey and I knew Jesus was carrying me, He gave me strength to walk. The pain increased as I threw myself in bed, my breathing was fast, and at that very moment, I was just totally feeling helpless. However, my mind was quite clear

It's great to be able to have a mission team coming to our church and work with us to preach the gospel. In fact, I have learnt a lot from them. I see their passion in Christ, their prayfulness, their humbleness, and their servant heart. They have a really full schedule, but I never see them complaining, never see them feeling tired. Whenever I see them I see energy, enthusiasm and smiles. This makes me see what a real Christian is like and should be like. I see the power of prayer, the power of God working in their lives and the lives of the people who come to hear the gospel. I realised that relying on God is the only key to great glory for our Lord Jesus Christ. It's not about our own effort, but God's. Praying can move a mountain, but our own effort and strength can do nothing, especially move people's hearts. Preaching the gospel is not easy, it requires a lot of time and effort. However, without praying and submitting the work of mission to God, everything becomes
