Thank God for messages heard

Thank God, last Friday I heard a message entitled "How to be a good boyfriend and girlfriend?" Unbelievers cannot exercise Agape love. This is a love that is a sacrificial love and you are willing to die for the person. Love willing to suffer wrong, love is kind, love does not envy, love is not proud, love does not behave in an attitude that will detest by others, love is not self seeking, love does not provoke you to be angry easily, love does not think evil of a person. There is so much to learn about love. Not the hollywood or bollywood kind of love, they teach sex and lust. To understand the full extend of love, one has to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. Do not wait or hesitate anymore, experience the peace of heart and true love yourself by trusting only in Jesus.

As usual, I have a few mistakes here and there but this time I did not screw up anything:) Thank God that playing piano at the Chinese side really help me to train my sight reading and also confidence in playing in front of large crowd.

Thank God for a pass in Grade 6 piano exams

Two weeks had passed since I took the exams on 25th August 2007. Exactly two weeks from then, I checked my results online. Thank God that I got a Pass with 117 marks; fall short of 3 marks for Merit. Although it fall short of my expectation, cause I am aiming for Merit, but I remembered "in everything give thanks to the Lord!"

Thank God that at a span of only 3 years of learning the piano seriously, I am now promoted to Grade 7. Amazing! It is God's grace and enabling! I have saved lots of money in this without having to go through the lower grades! Therefore, I thank God for helping me to improve in my piano at such a short period of time! This Sunday, it is my second time playing in the church sanctuary. For the first time, I had screwed it up a bit. I pray that this time I will be better:)

Thank for message on loving your brothers & sisters in Christ

Yesterday, the Lord's messenger Dr Tow shared something that strike a chord in me. He said that before you want to learn what is brotherly love you have to do two things. First of all, you have to love God. If you cannot love God, you don't know what is true love. After that, you have to love your parents. He shared something on showing filial piety to our own parents.

He shared that he once asked an old lady how often does her child visited her. The old lady reply that it is only once a month. When I heard that, I was quite sad. After the children got married, they tend to forget their parents. They are too busy with their work, their own stuffs, their own children and forget that who had brought them up since young. Do we want to wait until our parents are no longer around then we start to regret that we had not done enough for them?

He also shared that if he is her children, he will visit her every week. Which I think is reasonable and that we should. What can be so busy that we forget about our parents who had brought us up? He also shared that filial piety is practical. We have to do something that is different. For example, in the past we don't sweep the floor, we do it out of love for them now. We help our parents to clean up the house. In the past we don't wash dishes, now we do it voluntarily. We do not need our parents to tell us what to do then we do. I am convicted in my heart to I want to do something for my parents. Since they are still unbelievers, I have to show forth the love of Christ in my life. Truly, it is not easy to take up your own cross daily to follow Christ. We have to denied ourselves daily and seek to do God's Will for us in our lives.

Thank God for his message to me. A change of attitude is necessary and will make a difference in your testimony!
