live a fruitful life

God is the beginning and the end.

He’s the Alpha and Omega,

the creator of the universe. 

Just imagine God holding the universe in His hand

He can be anywhere,

at any time.

He never sleeps and He knows everything,

every single thing that’s happening in the world……

the cries of the sufferings,

the deaths of many,

the mourning of the sad,

the joys of the blessed,

the births of babies,

just everything you can think of.

God listens to all our prayers,

He’ll answer them all

if only we wait upon Him and be patient.

God has a plan and a future for everyone of us.

But we’ve the free choice to choose between good and evil.

Every breath that you breathe is a gift from God…..

are you aware?

Be thankful,

and appreciate the goodness God has given to you.

Life is meaningless and aimless without God.

God created us for a purpose.

   

What’s that purpose?

It is to fulfill His command,

to fulfill His mission to us…..

What’s the command and mission given ?

To love one another…the 2nd greatest commandment.

The greatest command is to put God 1st in our hearts.

God has not created us to be robots.

We’re free to choose whether to obey.

Those who belong to God hear His voice.

God has not predetermined how our lives would be like

Or where our souls will go

after this temporary life on earth.

So choose and cherish the chance given to us

to live a fruitful life,

to choose to love God,

to express our love for Him,

as He had first loved us.

i see things differently...says the lord

Knowing Me just by My name
and knowing Me truly,
like knowing My feelings and My character
are totally two different things.

Reading the bible with true understanding
is important.

Do not use human strength to think,
but allow Me to open your heart,
open your mind
to new revelations and discoveries.

There're many truths in the bible
that mere human eyes cannot see.

I desire your undivided and true love from your heart,
and not something you've to do as a routine
in order to please Me.

What really matters to Me
is your heart and feelings towards Me.

Everybody has done something bad in his/her life.
Apostle Paul also did many wrong things that hurt My heart,
but still I not only forgave him but used him for My kingdom.

I see things differently.
What are bad can become good in My perfect time and will.

I just want people to come back to Me,
and be with Me, to dwell in My presence,
and have fellowship and relationship with Me.

Therefore walk your life together with Me.

People tend to leave Me out of their lives,
because they don't realise how much I actually notice them,
and care and love them.

I AM not some dictator being stuck to My throne,
sitting in heaven and doing nothing.

On the contrary, I AM always alert,
and ever ready to talk to you
if only you give Me the chance.

My child, be simple, have a little faith,
and only believe,
and you'll find it easier to draw closer to Me.

Our souls are cleansed through obedience
to God's truth in God's Word.
You purify yourself by obeying the truth,
obeying God's voice in God's Word.
The truth of God's Word has life, gives life and nourishes life.

Wrong attitudes in our hearts make us
lose appetite for the pure word of God.
When we stop feeding on the Word of God,
we stop growing, and we stop tasting
the grace that we find in the Lord.

Obedience is a constant dependence on a moment by moment fellowship with God.
It is trust in God's will.
It is joy of hearing God's voice, which gives the strength.
God's voice gives power to obey His Word.

The heart of God is in His voice, in His Word.

be simple
open your heart
open your mind
like a lili flower
appreciate life,
even the rain n sunshine
n the air u breathe.
do things according
to His will for your life,
and see
your life blooms

have the right attitudes
in your heart

• put your trust in God

  • 

    don't let the evil one or anyone pull you down
    or influence your principle in what's right
    stand firm on your belief.
    differentiate right from wrong
    based on the Lord's wisdom.
    
    don't go astray,
    but go back to your creator.
    love Him as He first loved u.
    do right n don't go against your conscience.
    hear the still, small voice in u.
    u know it's there, n it's right
    but u sometimes doubt yourself.
    have peace within your heart.
    
    hold on to the things u believed in,
    put your trust in God
    n b faithful to Him
    for He'll never forsake u
    
    forgive one another
    love the Lord with all your heart,
    all your soul n all your mind.
    don't despise others,
    or look down on yourself.
    know that the Lord's always with u
    He'll never forsake u.
    
    the key to success is
    love others as u love yourself
    love Me above everything else
    please Me in all ways
    read the bible n learn of My ways
    lean not on thy own understanding
    but trust Me in all things
    
    what's important in life
    is who we really are
    n what we place our beliefs in.
    we'll lose everthing
    around us one day.
    
    friends come n friends go
    our beloved ones will one day leave us
    we can't bring what we own now
    on this earth and bring them to heaven
    they're of different values in heaven
    but there's one thing that remains eternally
    n that is our souls

abortion

Abortion



girl: My boyfriend and I are having a very difficult time coming to a decision.
Abortion, or not an abortion.
I'm going to school right now, life would be very difficult.
Has anyone been through this?

ladyA: If you really don't want the child have you considered adoption? Their are many willing parents who would love to care for a baby. You have other options just keep that in mind.

girl: thanks.It's so hard. My mother would kill me if she found out, my family would not be understanding they'd think I was a whore. I would probably stand to lose all financial and emotional support from my mom and stepdad.

ladyB: Abortion would never be an option...but that is for me...
you might think that your world as you know it would end if anyone found out but believe me it wouldn't..yes your mom might be upset at first, but with time she would accept it...she is your mother and nothing you do can ever change that or change the way she loves you, perhaps it might seem she hates you at that time by she would never be able to feel that emotion towards her own daughter...
You know having an abortion just isn't so easy, will you be able to handle the guilt, regret n feelings for the rest of your life? Looking at kids in a park and wondering what your child would look like at that moment? Wondering whether it was a girl or boy? Wanting to apologize to it for making the decision you made?

ladyC: am sure deep down u know what is right by you. I used to work close to an clinic that carried out abortions, every time the girls came out and spoke to me, it was the most heart wrenching thing for me and them, the realization that it was all over and that that was the baby they could have had. Its your call but u and only u get to live with the decision that u make. think through your options, u might expect the worst from family but u'd be surprised when they are the people that standby u most and judge u less. You both need to make a decision that you can live with.

guyA: ladyB seems to speak from experience.i agree with her.fear n panic can make us take stupid actions that cannot be reversed in years to come as we look back at our younger days.MOST IMPORTANT is DOING THE RIGHT THING.

ladyB: Not my own personal experience but my sister had an abortion 5 years ago and to this day she regrets it!! she cannot get over her guilt and although she has had another child she carries her regret...she even has to deal with the blame from her husband although they made the decision together at the time he still blames her saying she was the woman and it is her body she should have fought for the life inside her...she so wants to tell her daughter about the brother or sister she could have had but how does she do it??
So look at all your options before u make a decision...take a closer look at adoption ...but it is still all up to you

guyB: Abortion is permanent, whereas your education can always be continued later (if you so choose), finances will change as well (in time); but once an abortion is had, you cannot continue it later, and it will not change in time, it is forever.
There is no perfect time for pregnancy, it is always a difficult time, and certain sacrifices must be made for the good of a baby, which often include postponing some things such as education, and meeting financial obligations, until those crucial years of a baby needing its mother are less restrictive. Of course it is always better if the mother is married or in a stable relationship, which includes being financially stable, and emotionally stable in the relationship, but not necessarily a requirement.
Often times, having a child when your young can be an advantage to getting an education later in life, it is simply a matter of priorities.
You made a decision to engage in risky behavior (sexual activity) which may not have been the best choice at this particular time, and pregnancy will not be the end of life as you know it, though it will cause you to rearrange your priorities.
I have yet to meet a woman who says that she regrets having children, but there are many who regret having an abortion; mostly because they do not realize at the time that the things they want from life can still be achieved without having an abortion. Abortion is a very selfish thing in most cases, because the mother doesn't want to make personal sacrifices for the sake of a child at that particular time in her life, whether it be personal success, finances, or raising a child in a single-parent home, because it interferes with their personal lives.
If you ever wanted children, the same sacrifices would need to be taken then, just as they do now; but you chose to have children now, so have the child, be happy that you have this opportunity, and take advantage of it. If your education is important to you, on-line classes are an option also.
As far as what your mother might think, look at it like this, imagine her face as she gazes into the eyes of her grandchild, as opposed to her finding out years later that you had an abortion; in which instance do you think you are more likely to hear the word "whore" from her ...
My opinion may be biased, because I do not have children and very often wish that I did, but I had so many fears, and wanted the perfect environment for my child to be born into, with a loving home, parents with a good marriage, with financial stability, and an opportunity to give to my child all the things I never had; and as it turns out, I will never have that chance, because I never had a child to give all those things to.
I hope that you will have a beautiful child, and have the opportunity to give that child all your love and wisdom, because that is an opportunity that I will probably never have - and I regret it.

ladyC: I think if you are "mature" enough to be having sex -
than you must be mature enough to handle the consequences -
I don't think an abortion is the answer.
Life is a precious gift - don't waste it.
Give your baby a chance to live the life your parents gave you...

ladyD: To be honest, I've never agreed with abortions - however I just found out not too long ago my sister had one. I still love her to death and never judged her for it. It was her own personal decision. But when my sister found out I was pregnant (currently 12 weeks) she became sad, a bit jealous and really started looking at what she had done. Believe me, its scary...I'm scared shitless!!! It was a surprise for me and now I ended up having to make different ways of living for myself because of the new addition --- but when I look towards the future and see God has blessed me with this little gift, I can only show full love towards my little "surprise." It definitely made me think of life in a different way, but for some reason also I always thought I'd be one to never have a child... So I'm taking life as it comes and going with it... lol!
Best of luck on your decision...!!:)

no matter the past

Reaching out in a world so blind,

grasping for the light.
Climbing up from the depths

that held me captive for so long.

Avoiding the sharp blades

that could rip open the wounds.
Cradling myself in the darkness

trying to seek comfort.

Fighting a past that has left my heart

torn to shreds.

Fighting for a future

not wanting things to be the same.

Pulling every ounce of strength

to hold myself up.
Trying to heal a heart

so broken from the pain.

Yes I will rise

above the damage that has been done.
Growing stronger

from the deep cuts in my soul.

The scars may be forever.......
But I will not allow them

to define me........

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
but still I'm caught in your grace

No matter the past.

We cannot change what has happened.

We do have one power…

we can trust God to redeem the past.

If we let Him.

God can use the evil of what has happened

And transforms it into something good.

Failures can give way to a calling.

God’s grace can transform evil into good,

If we’re willing to receive God’s forgiveness,

To forgive others,

and to trust in God to work things out.

Your light will shine when all else fades
my heart n my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out.
From the inside out, my soul cries out

no matter your tears

Put your trust in me,
everything will be fine as you see.
I hold you in my arms n I won't let go.
just be bold.

I will cry with u a river and taste your tears.
I will hold you and keep you safe...
safe from all your fears.
Come and put your head on my shoulder
and place your hand in mine.
Hold on tight.
I promise you everything will be fine.

You got to trust Me with all your heart.
Have no doubts.
Turn from your old ways, start anew.
I AM always there to help you when you fall,
to accept you when you run back to Me.

Keep your eyes focus on the Me.
I shall make a way
where there seems to be only a dead end.
you can’t hide your thoughts or feelings from Me,
because I know and feel them all
but I still want u to open up to Me
to express them out to Me.

Trust God in times of trouble.
All God requires is a little faith,
as small as a mustard seed.
Don’t look down upon this faith,
because it can move a mountain.

Open up your heart to God.
People might had hurt you and harm you in any way,
but it is different with God.
Have a personal encounter with God.

We get lost when God is not put first in our lives.
We feel life is not worth living and is meaningless,
Everything appears to be so bleak.

But do you know how glorious our God is?
How wonderful heaven is?
Let the love of God fills your heart,
take over the emptiness and hurts in you.
Let Him heal you.

Acid attack victim still bedridden but determined to sit for SPM exams

GEORGE TOWN: The 17-year-old schoolgirl who lost her eyesight after her face was splashed with acid is determined to sit for the SPM examinations next month.

Tan Hui Linn, who still cannot speak following the attack, scribbled her intention on a piece of paper in Chinese when asked about the examination.

She then passed the note to her brother Jun Hong, 20, who said his sister, a student of SMK Convent Datuk Keramat, had only a slim chance of sitting for the examination.

“She is still bedridden at the Penang Hospital’s intensive care unit.

“Based on her physical condition now, I don’t think she will be fit in time for the examination.

“Besides, she is not well prepared for it,” said the 20-year-old undergraduate of Universiti Utara Malaysia.

On Saturday, Hui Linn and her mother Cheong Swee Lin, 50, were sleeping at their Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim home when his father came in at 3am and splashed acid on them.

Cheong, who was badly burnt, died about 10 hours later.

The corrosive acid spilled over to Hui Linn, who sustained 60% burns on her face and upper torso.

She is now permanently blind

Hatred and bitterness can only keep you a prisoner of the past.

Revenge can only make you bitter forever,

a prisoner of your own hatred.

We become prisoners in our own dark souls,

suffocated by our own brooding thoughts.

Hatred and resentment wound our souls.

It opens the door for the devil to come in to do much damage,

bringing confusion, fears, deception, depression, madness

Anger and bitterness are your real enemies.

Those who strike out are like wounded animals.

Because of pride, they resist attempts to relieve the pain.

Not easy to put the past behind, but look what the future holds.

With God’s help, you can do almost anything..

overcoming your fears and pain.

But you have one power to redeem the past…

if you’re willing to receive God’s forgiveness,

willing to forgive others, and to trust God

to do the impossibles…to work bad into good.

"Let Me take over, "says the Lord, "feel powerless before Me,

and you’ll find true happiness and security.

Only in Me, can you find true freedom and friendship.

Reach out, grasp hold and don’t let go."

Time cannot be reversed.

what’s important in life is who we really are
n what we place our beliefs in.

we’ll lose everything around us one day.
friends come n friends go
our beloved ones will one day leave us
we can’t bring what we own now
on this earth and bring them to heaven
they’re of different values in heaven
but there’s one thing that remains eternally
n that is our souls

It is not easy to put the past behind
but look what the future holds for u.
With the help of God,
we can do almost anything,
including overcoming our fears and pains;
that is, if u allow Him
to take over your situations,
to feel powerless before Him,
that’s when supernatural things take place,
that’s when u feel true love,
secured with an eternal belonging.

It’s only in God that u can find
that eternal belonging,
so free, so close to Him…
it’s a feeling that everyone
is longing for,
deep inside us.

Do not let others pull u down;
do not let men talk u out of things.
Instead follow God’s words
n listen deep inside u...
open your ear n heart to Him
n see your life changed.

Be simple, have a little faith,
and only believe.
Once u know Him well enough,
u will see Him
in a whole new perspective.

Know where the Lord is leading you;
always follow His lead.
Don’t lose your focus
Think of God every second of your life

In the dark, u might not see or feel Him,
but will u believe in Him?
that He’s able to rescue u?
All God wants is your faith
that come from your heart.
not just by your words or your thoughts
but trust n loyalty from a sincere heart.
