Thank God for attending the gospel workshop

Thank God for the Gospel Workshop that I had attended on the Deepavali Holiday. I had learnt how to excuse the excuses when sharing the gospel with other people. This poem that I had read on that day really moved my heart to do something for my 4 close friends. Hope to share it with you all! Live a life without regrets, do something for your friend if God burden your heart. The Lord is coming very soon!

I thought you were my friend....

My friend, I stand in judgment now and feel that you’re to blame somehow.
While on this earth I walked with you day by day a
nd you never did point the way.

You know the Lord in truth and glory but never did you ever tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim, you could have led me safe to Him.

Though we lived together here on earth, you never told me of your second birth.
And now I stand this day condemned
because you failed to mention Him.

You taught me many things, that’s true.
I called you friend and trusted you.
But I learned now that it’s too late, you could have kept me from this fate.

We walked by day and talked by night, and yet you showed me not the light.
And you let me live, love, and die, and all the while you knew I’d never live on high.

Yes, I called you friend in life and I trusted you in joy and strife.
And yet in coming to this end, I see you really weren’t my friend.

Thank God for receiving forgiveness from a friend

On last Friday morning, I did something that is really wrong. On that night, I confessed it to this friend. Thank God that my friend forgive me after 2 days of cold silence. On Sunday afternoon, I received this SMS "Apology accepted, mercy released." I am so overjoyed that both God and my friend forgive me. This is a very painful lesson for me. Never will I did such a thing again!

Thank God for a well spend day

Yesterday was Childrens' Day and Hari Raya. Instead of staying at home to "nua". I went to SKS book store with a friend. After that, we met up with another friend and we sat down at Chinatown area to have some finger food. After that, we went to Swensen to sit down to talk. The three of us shared testimony of how God worked in us in each of our lives. It was a very blessed and fruitful session. In the end, we concluded that the verse "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" has been a living verse in our life. Throughout the conversation, I was blessed and amazed with how God work in each individuals. Those who have not yet received Christ in their life will not be able to experience such wonderful encounters. I went home yesterday feeling very blessed. I was reminded of this hymn by Fanny Crosby:


To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Refrain

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Refrain


I was reminded of the great things God has done for me, how could I even delight in sin sometimes when I am tempted. Truly God, I had failed thee so many times, help me to fear thee and to keep close to thee. Amen!
