I can't hear the voice of God

A few friends have told me that sometimes when they pray, they can't hear the voice of God.

Here are a few reasons why God's voice can't be heard.

1. Your heart is "noisy"!
     When you are in a state of chaos, it is difficult to hear the voice of God. If there are too many things going on in your mind, then God's voice only becomes one of the noises.

2. You may want to spend more time with God. Are you spending time conversing with God? Do you know the more you talk with someone, the more you can recognize one's voice? It is the same likewise with God. The more you spend time with God, the better you are able to recogize His voice and the clearer you will understand how He speaks.

3. You are only looking for what you want to hear. God may have already spoken to you, but it is contrary to your desire, since it isn't something you are seeking, you categorize the voice as the devil's voice. When you hear something that does not match with your desire, you may refuse to recognize it was God's answer for you.

A desire to be loved by God

Have you ever wondered what true love is? Do you have a desire to be truly loved? 你是否曾經想知道什麼是真愛? 你是否渴望真正的被愛呢? I have just recently started posting more entries on this blog in preparation for my exciting Japan exchange trip. However, I found it hard to decide on the content of this blog. I have asked myself if I should post anything about my faith that may seem dull to many of my friends or should I just post fun things to make it more desirable for my readers? 我近期才比較頻繁地發文 ，為的是分享日後令人興奮的日本交換學生生活而準備。但是在決定這個部落格的風格及內容時，我遇到了難題。我問自己是否應該分享對很多朋友們來說是很無趣的信仰，亦或是分享那些有趣的東西使更多人來閱讀呢? At the end, I still cannot settle with the fact that many people in this world are still lost and are living in darkness. I figured I should still share the love of God through this blog, though it may be undesirable, the love of God needs to be spread. 到頭來，這世界裡仍然有很多人的生命是迷失的或生處在黑暗當中這事，令我的心無法停歇。我決定我必須透過這個部落格來分享上帝的愛，即使可能沒有很多人會喜歡讀，但傳遞上帝的愛是更需要的。 Deep down in the innermost heart of every human being, we desire to be loved by ...

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?
