禱告 I Pray

A Chinese worship song by Stream of Praise that i really like when i first listened to it... every single word of the lyrics is speaking to my heart...
Thanks to a sis who brought it to me...
禱告 I Pray [讚美之泉10] (林後12:9)
詞、曲: 鄭楷 Kevin Cheng Key: E (原調) 4/4

禱告因為我渺小
禱告因為我知道我需要
明瞭 你心意對我重要
禱告已假裝不了
禱告因為你的愛我需要
你關懷 我走過的你都明白
有些事我只想要對你說
因你比任何人都愛我
痛苦從眼中流下
我知道你為我擦
在早晨我也要來對你說
主耶穌今天我為你活
所需要的力量都天天賜給我
你恩典夠我用



9 他 对 我 说 : 我 的 恩 典 够 你 用 的 , 因 为 我 的 能 力 是 在 人 的 软 弱 上 显 得 完 全 。 所 以 , 我 更 喜 欢 夸 自 己 的 软 弱 , 好 叫 基 督 的 能 力 覆 庇 我 。- 歌 林 多 後 書 12:9

9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. - 2 Corinthians 12:9

Battle in a Dream

As the ship made a turn near the cliff, we saw the ship of the enemies approaching us... though it has been expected that they would appear somewhere in the sea later even not now. Somehow deep in our hearts, we have this inner assurance that we would win the battle as our armies are much more stronger. I was the only one who know nothing about battle in the ship nor equipped with any fighting skill. I just have to depend on them for refuge especially this particular person. All of the men in my ship are wearing white and I was sticked with this particular man for protection. I feel that they're all like an 'angel' to me. Angel in a white robe. Angel in disguised.
For a moment later, all of us were floating at the sea.. the darts were throwing at us. Some of us were wounded by the darts slightly. Once me and the person who were protecting me were quite close to an enemy in the sea... i was rather anxious and he whispered to me that we don't have to be afraid as this particular enemy is deaf.
Not long later, some of us managed to catch a life boat. It was also one of the most difficult moment. Life and death is in the border. I remembered the darts were all throwing at us... how disastrous it was.
At a twinkling of the eyes, I realised that I was on my bed... awaking from a nap. It seems that someone would just wake me up from the dream each time when I was in the most threaten part of a nightmare... i whispered thanks to Daddy God.
Is there a spiritual meaning behind the dream... a mere message from the subconscious mind or a combination of it both? God knows. Again, i'm inviting Jesus to be my psychotherapist for interpretation of dream.

New Year Resolution - 2009

Today is the first day of Year 2009, I pray that everyone would have a blessed year ahead together with their loved ones.. in this special year that God has given to us.

Personally, i believe this is also a good time for personal reflection of the past one year while comtemplating about the coming new year (by inviting Jesus into the pictures).

Last night, me and a few brothers and sisters went over to a pastor's house as we awaiting the coming new year eagerly. We had a blessed time with Daddy God together as a family. It's just different (some of you would understand the feeling of it)... when there is love in a family. I believe that it's everyone's heart desire to have a home that is filled with love. Just as others, deep in my heart, i wish to have a family which is overflowing with Christ's love and one that could be a channel of God's blessings to many others. This would be made possible by inviting Christ Himself to lay the foundation for the family.. it's a gift. To mention a few, we played some games there which I really enjoyed (and i'm sure about others too) including writing testimonial on each other's back (by knowing the fact that how our writing could become a vessel of God's blessing and it's always lovely to read on how others think of us) and pictionary (happy family = P). I think sometimes what people need is just a good laugh (especially when life is going tough). The gift exchanged also kinda funny (where we were allowed to take gift away from others if we like and make them to pick a new one from under the Christmas tree)... especially.. as I did something 'bad' to someone by stealing his 'angel' away after given some thought on it (i hope he didn't cry?!). Angel has a special meaning to a sister and me this Christmas...

After some thought, i would like to categorise the resolution for this year into three major branches:

1) Growing deeper with Daddy God in the love relationship.
2) Sharpen the life-skill on loving people as Jesus teaches me.
3) To be in the centre of God's will in all areas of life.
