The year of Jubilee @ 11:06 PM

"According to the proposed dates from my research, the year from about Sep 2008 through Sep 2009 will mark the seventieth jubilee year from the events of the last year of Moses leading the children of Israel through the wilderness and of Joshua crossing the Jordan River into the promised land of Cannan"

We are in the year of Jubilee!! It is a year that comes only in seven times seven years. People would give back the land to its original owners, slaves would be set free. Reconciliation throughout the land!!! IS this the time of reconciliation amongst us too? To serve one another? Im sure of it. Its quite a weird coincidence that I look it up in the internet. Surely there is a calling of brothers to come togethere in unity, to break down all barriers. To give back everything to God.

God's calling for us to serve @ 11:06 PM

I believe God challenges us to step out of our comfort zones. He has given us a purpose to serve. To serve Him and to serve others. But why? Why me? Because Jesus is God's son. And when he died on the cross, Jesus has first claim over me. Because I am God's child, I am to respond to my Father's calling. What is his calling?

To seek the spirit. "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."John 4:23

To preach the good news. "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."Mark 16:15

To bring release to the captives(liberate people from sin) " The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,"Isaiah 61:1

To give liberty to the oppressed. " The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed."Psalm 103:6

Why serve? @ 9:38 PM

Why serve? Why do we need to be helpful? Or caring? Or bother about other people's problems? Face it, most people are ungrateful, politely thankful at best. So who cares? As what Im always told, don't bother about other peoples problem, do what you can to help but if it spills over into ur own work, stay clear. After all, you were put to accomplish something in your life, so get on with the studying and hear out the demands of the course. 2 more years! That's all, focus on the objective, get the 40+ points. The world doesn't wait for you, catch up with it or face the consequences, lose out, after that there is no more hope.

Or is it? Do we really need to minister to people around us? Is being available to the brother next to you a must? What if Im not comfortable being around him? Maybe he's hard to work with, cynical and pessimistic? Maybe he tells you to leave him alone, go away, don't be a pest. Me, serving him???

Rantings of a broken heart (copied) @ 6:01 AM

Oh God give me strength. Take me far away...far away from this misery. From the scoldings, from the suffering. Im lost...taken away by bitterness...swept away by sorrows. But dear Lord, if it is thy will, show me a way, not just a sign. Give me peace, yet give me joy. For who has such power, such control over the human emotions but you? You who hardened pharaoh's heart, who gave Moses courage, who gave Solomon wisdom. There is no one else like you. Each time my heart sings with praise, let not the things of the world consume me, let me not fall prey to the bright lights and the sweet words of men. Anger rises in my chest, fiery and unrelentless, a itching sensation that never fails to go away and becomes increasingly *argh* as I fan it. What do I do? How do I quench it? Shout, scream, smack...that's called releasing stress but to what end? To what good? Am I not pure evil? Who then is pure good? No, what then is pure good? God is good. All the time. He is just, yet us so unworthy. But He is love. That's all we need. "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."Matthew 11:29-30 Cast your burdens on the cross. Where is God? Who is God? I cannot phanthom, but then again, He is everything. The Alpha and Omega. Author of our faith. I find new hope, new peace, new joy. How should I live? As a servant, but what kind? Willing and humble. To God be the glory?? Yes but how? To love, to see Him glorified, to be a willing servant of God. Love?? Oh the word...the meaning. The ultimate sacrifice was done in Love. The 2 most important commandmants demand Love. The relationship between a holy God and fallen man is Love. But how to Love??


Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-”- Psalm 103:1-2

To find a place to rest
To see a new beginning
A life delivered
Yet not complete
Oh God
Have mercy on me
