Have you ever felt so upset with yourself for the some things that you know you shouldnt do but still do? I did. Well, Peter and Judas did too. The only difference is one choose to rely on his own, which led him to death; The other choose to rely on Grace, which led him to life.
Only by grace can I enter
Only by grace can I stand
Not by my human endeavour
But by the blood of the Lamb
Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord, "though your sins are like scarelet, they shall be white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
God's Riches At Christ Expense- The Power of the Cross
John 8
A Woman Caught in Adultery
Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
11 “No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Thank You Lord for Your Grace

There was a point in my life when I seriously do not why I'm feeling what I'm feeling. So, I thought I should be fine. There's really nothing much to bother me. Not until I sat down with a friend one day and things surfaced. I realised that my life was imbalance. Our life shouldnt be jus consist of work and work and work. We need rest, not just physically but spiritually. That's why God created the world in 6 days and rest on the 7th. That's why He commanded Sabbath. We need encouragement. We need one another. We are created different to complement and bless one another with our diff gifts. We need to fellowship with our bro ans sis in Christ. That's why the bible says do not give up meeting one another... but SPUR one another on... We need the Word. Not jus reading but hearing. Pastors are great man of God, blessed and anionted with the gift of teaching. So many times, my life have been blessed by their sermons. We need a relationship with God. That's what we are created for. We need to know Him. Not jus knowledge but experience.
It's been 8 years since I'm back to Msia, perak (sitiawan). I had a good 4 days of rest at Msia and was personally blessed by my uncle and his wife. Both great man and women of God. Truly, a heart of a servant. The trip wouldnt be fun without them. They invited us to their house on the 1st night to have durians. On the second night, they drove us an hour to a seafood resturant. It's delicous. Then we went to the seaside to have deserts and we talked. Then, we followed them to a funeral. On the third night, they brought us for supper.
I was so blessed just hearing from my aunt's life. So many things that she went thru, even nasty and hurting ones. God had them to refine her. I was touched, particularly by this one. She shared abt how she went to a Dr for checkup. The Dr told her tt she has high albumin in the kidney. She said she will go home and pray and the Dr casually said that he got an A star for bible knowledge, a subject they have to take in sch. My aunt then said, "You have knowledge, I have experience". From that day, she fasted her lunch and claim the verse, "By His strips, we are healed". One day, she jus heard an audible voice saying, "You are healed" At first she thought it was her husband. But no one was at hm at tt time. The next checkup showed normal results. The Dr couldnt believe it and asked her to do a repeat. All the abnormalities were indeed gone even after the second and third repeat. It not only encourages but spark off sth in me. I do not jus want knowledge, I want to experience God. Not jus during missions or once in a while but to experience Him in my everyday life.
From day one to day four, all I could see in them was LOVE. I saw how they drove us ard, opened durians, rambutans, mangosteens for us, jus being thr for us, I saw how they gave their time to ppl and help them in times of need, how they stand by thru ppl who lost a loved one. All these, on top of their work and routine. Even, how they loved each other and care for each other, even though they are in their fities, but they are still very FUN-LOVING! They made a great impact in my life, not jus what they say but so much more of what they do.
God is good. :)
