What is the time? it's time for Jesus

To be honest, I always struggle to keep up to my personal quiet time with God and I guess the reason might have been that I have not realised how important God is in my life. I have not understood the importance of spending time with Him and have not truly put God's words in my heart.

God is always willing to spend time with me, but I am always reluctant to give my time to Him. A lot of times, I would rather spend time on facebook, browsing through random things and waste time doing nothing than talking to the God that loves me the most. How selfish is that?

Now that I have realised leaving God is the most silly and dangerous thing to do and the consequence can be serious. God loves me so much that He died for me, suffered for me but why can't I love Him with my whole heart? I can't just go to Him when I need help, but I need to give every moment of my life to Him and include Him in everything I do.

So next time if you ask me what time it is, I would know that it is the time for Jesus. Being a Christian is not just about going to church, studying the bible and go to Africa, but it is about living for the saviour who loves me. Living every moment for Him. The bible says that we need to offer ourselves as body sacrifice, and perhaps this is what it is all about. Worship Jesus in everything we do and look to Him whenever we make decisions, whenever we stress, whenver we laugh and whenever we are awake.

Well, time to go on a date with my Jesus^^ Bye for now

Ephesians 5:17 Don't act thoughtlessly,but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

I guess not spending my time wisely is an act of foolishness and perhaps this is what God wants to teach me this week-to use my time wisely and act thoughtfully, and according to His will. (Wow, I just write this post 10 minutes before and God spoke to me through my bible study notes just now!)

I just want to share a song to you by Tim Hughes which really spoke to me
God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking God in my sleeping
God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting
God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything

Where is God is suffering?

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...

Good prayer? Bad prayer?

Today I heard people saying at church, "oh he or she can pray very well!". Hmmm....when I heard this statement, it caught my attention. I stopped and wondered for a while what was wrong. What does it mean by praying well? Isn't it just having a conversation with God? How can a person know it was "good"? Some people don't see beyond the "great prayers"- which comes from a vibrant relationship with God yet care about what words are being used and how much scripture was being quoted or even how enthusiastically the prayer was prayed. A lot of people are afraid to pray because they think they can't say what they are supposed to say and are afraid of making mistakes. Why afraid of making mistakes when it is just a conversation with God?

I am so blessed

I am so thankful for what God has given me in Japan. I am thankful for the amazing Bible Study Fellowship here in Japan. Not only do we have a godly lady as our teaching leader, that speaks with great enthusiam, wisdom and clarity; but also have wonderful Japanese Christian ladies coming to seek the word of God with great desire and expectation EVERY WEEK. What wonderful works God has been doing here. I am super excited for God's cultivation in Japan, it's amazing!! I am thankful for the church I belong to. I am thankful for my bible study leader and lovely group members who greet me with love and care. The first time I went to the church, I was warmly welcomed by the people and never felt left out even for a minute! I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to share my faith with some people I have met. Please pray for my friend, who told me today that she would also like to come to church with me this Sunday. She is a girl in my dorm, from Cambodia and her name is............
