2012/1/5 Unconditional Love

What exactly is the truth definition of love? You might very well respond”Oh! I love my boyfriend, I will cheer him up whenever he feels upset, cook him dinner and offer my shoulder for him to cry on!” But what if “Love” is something way bigger than you can never imagine? Are you willing to die for him? Lay down your life for your family, your friends or someone you don’t know or even someone you once hated? Would you say you understand and be willing to love? I wasn’t a believer before last February, and  I was brought up by being educated that “There’s no such thing as free lunch!” Therefore, I was having hard time to understand how can one person, one God is willing to die for every single one of us, I thought that was just exaggerating. As I continue to walk on the journey with the Lord, read through His words and see how many things that He has done for His creation then I gradually believe true love does exist in this world. Have you ever done something for someone you love or someone you don’t even know and makes you feel being filled up with joy after you did that? Even giving up your seats to the seniors on the subway could make you feel extremely happy about that! Where does the joy coming from? The joy coming from doing something out of love!! As children of God, we have authority and the fruits of God coming from Heaven, the Scriptures says “ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.—Galatians 5:22-25”  Our job is to be a true blessing and the imitator of the Lord, do everything out of love! Love is selfless, love is sacrifice, love is eternal til the end of age, love never perish! Why would God made you fashion designer, teacher, artist, singer, student so that you could be the most blessed human beings on earth and you could blessed yourself? No!!!!!! God gave you those resources and creativity to love those who needs Him. So I would like to urge you to truly and deeply love not just those people around you but also those who you don’t know or once hated. Even a simple smile on the face out of love could soften the hardest heart. Remember, it's not about you anymore, it's about Him!

2012/01/04 Pray for Taiwan

I am so sick of enemy trying to manipulate my country and screw up the unity of Taiwanese people! Today I want to urge every single one of us to pray and proclaim unity in Jesus name. You guys probably notice as the election draws near, Taiwanese people are separated to two sides and people are so hostile against each other. For example, my parents are what they call neutral voters which means they are not happy with both sides and always complaining about how lousy President Ma is and whining if Miss Tsai is elected Taiwan will be heading toward failure. Ok, here's the thing, I am not in to political hostility and I feel like praying for the current leader and future leader of Taiwan to be imparted by the wisdom and peace coming from above. The situation now we're encountered kind of remind me while people in Israel were complaining about Moses and Aaron. In stead of fighting against each other, why wouldn't us just trust in the Lord to choose the most ideal leader to lead this country to His glory!

2012/01/03 Challenge? Bring it over!

There are times, people just enjoy challenging us in terms of our faith in the Lord. Have you ever thought about why? They will be like ”oh! You Christians are just buck-passing and irresponsible group of people! You don’t know what is reality! You are so naive!” Is that all there is? Why would people say something like this? Because the way we react just don’t seem the way “normal” people we react. In stead of blaming or hating people, we choose to forgiving them, in stead of whining and being cynical to this world, we choose to see the goodness of the Lord. As a matter of fact, God knows every challenge we’ve encountered, and I believe He made it that way! Why? Because He wants us to actually apply what we have learned from Him to our daily life. Sometimes my friends are like” You talked about God all the time! You are over religious!” But I will always tells them, that’s a thing about meI am crazy about Jesus that’s why I talked about Him as my boyfriend! Religious? Religious is some thing you did out of obligation not out of love. That’s see, my mom worshiped idols like twice a day and during different occasions she prepared 3 kinds of fruits and chicken. Who made all those rules? Men did!! Why would you follow some rules made by men and served something out of fear? I choose to believe Jesus because I believe He saved me, He set me free from fear, anger and burden. When I’ve been through the worst time of my life He stretched out His hands to hold me fast. Some people might say “oh! Come on! How can you believe something you can’t see?” Obviously, I never hold His hands like physically but the encounter of the Lord being touched by the Spirit it’s so enormous that intense that you can’t never imagine. It’s the grounded Faith that us stand firm in Him. God didn’t just send us to earth to be sociable to Christians, He sent us because He needs us to bring Heaven down to earth, while the Pharisees saw Jesus was chilling with those non-believers, they were like being judgmental toward Jesus but what did He responded? “On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick . Mark 2:17” It’s out purpose to being around with the nonbeliever by the great love we’ve showed to them, they will be touched by the Holy Spirit. Being a believer it’s not selling  insurance or impulse purchase and instead of inviting them to church why don’t we just be the church to those who need us? Mobilize the Bible in stead of debating with them. Remember, we may be the only Jesus people ever known. Some people might have a stereotype of Christians of being non-tolerate about other religion so they would have told you “ See? George Bush was leading a whole army to destroy the Muslim.” But you may very well tell your friend, whatever Gorge did that’s his choice, am I doing the exact same thing as he did? No! So stop comparing us as those who made wrong decisions. Speak “truth” with all your love and gentleness, you will see how they being blown away by the goodness of the Lord through you.

2012/01/02 Faith or No Faith?

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrew 11:1 Sometimes it’s easy for us to be effected by the standard of this world, and give away all of the power we have then throw in the towel while people says something bad about our dreams. A single word, a certain look could kill the things that you once believed. But then again, non of these would have happened if you don’t let them. Let me ask you something, what did you want to be when you’re a kid? Be an astronaut, a rapper, an actor or actress, a pilot, an artist or a princess who lives happily ever after. However, as you grow older, the society tells you to get real and stop living the fantasy. They also tells you happily ever after only exists in the fairy tell and then you start to buying it. Guess what? Happily ever after does exist if you have faith in it. You could be whatever you want as long as you have faith. God created you for a reason, He created you for a purpose, He placed a gift inside your heart while He created you. Every gifts takes practice, if you fully trust in the Lord and do whatever He called you to do without doubts, I guarantee you, your life will not be in vain. Does it takes chances to trust something you don’t see? Oh, yea! Most certainly! But does it worth it? Oh, yea! Most Certainly! I am not asking you to quit your job just as a snap decision as I did but what I am trying to say is really thinking about what you are doing now. Do you feel honoring? Do you think that’s the job or a major you’re so in love with it? Are you just being settle down to the place in which is a comfy zone and think of it as a job that pays the bill? Do you trust in God and firmly believe that this job is what God has been blessed you with all His resources so that you can bring breakthrough to your workplace or you just sit there and be stagnant?! Think about it and do something about it!!!

2012/01/01Work It Babe!!!

How do you know what is your destiny? If you do know your purpose and your mission, are you willing to give up everything you have just to pursue the passion God has put inside your heart? Sometime the earthly treasure stop us from receiving the real treasure God wants to give us. Just as my spiritual dad always says, as Asians, we are often settle down by a major we don’t even like, a job we hate and we keep whining about how miserable we are instead of trying to do something about it, we just keep complaining, choosing to live a horrible lifestyle, tying up ourselves to the things that we don’t want to be tied up. The Scriptures says this, “you can not serve two masters.” If you choose to follow Jesus and give your life to Him why all the bondage still stop you from doing something what your heart and soul has been desire? When God says”Go!” He meant “Go!” He doesn’t want you be afflicted from the things of this world. Have you ever whining to yourself “God, I don’t have money to do the things that you want me to do! What about my job? What about my life?  I am not a pastor, I am not a missioner, I am not strong enough and I don’t wanna be devour by the lions in the jungle!” If you are afraid of taking risks then you will probably wind up with regrets when your life is hitting a final curtain call! It’s never to late to mobilize your calling, as long as you have a heart to say I do and really trust in God of what He has doing in your life. Faith is trusting something that you don’t see and yet you still believe in it. It does take risks, but come on, “No Risks, No rewarded!” As a child of God, we are born to live on the edge. Will you rather be a Christian that goes to church on weekly basis, have a lukewarm heart, just think of it as a religious service and keep receiving people’s blessing and being spiritually fattening or you will really wanna show your true color as a child of God and live from inside our of His glory. Why would the Scriptures says “All things work together for work good?” Some people might think, ok being a Christian means whenever we encounter troubles or obstacles of our life we’re just going to church and asking for prayers, that’s it! If you’re holding the thought like this, you are fool!  “All things work together for your good !” WORK means not just taking in people’s blessing or the words from the Bible but actually put into practice. So, right now, stop keeping reminiscing your time or energy to analyze your calling, just WORK IT BABE!!!!

   

2011/12/31 It's All About Our Choice!!

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29
There are times people usually challenge us by asking" how do you know God is real?" "Come on, get a grip, you can't really see Him. " "How can you just say this is coming from God's will?" To be honest, I've never seen any of His signs or wonders or fireworks but you  know what? Believe in Jesus it's a choice so does follow Him. I choose to believe in God, I choose to trust Him, I choose to believe in His goodness and His love. I was brought up from a background where moral and ethics were always in the Curriculum, the thing is, I've always known all of those stuff but back then I've never felt like I wanna bless people or do any of those good deeds. I couldn't even bring myself to those who hurt me and kept drowning myself by all those hatred and unforgiveness.  Til this February, I got saved by Jesus, the cool thing is...no one tells me what to do not even my spiritual mom nor my church friends...one day I just felt like I could bring myself to forgive and be friend to this person whom I've hated and scared for 8 years. If this is not coming from God, then who will be able to tell me into that. As a child of God, we will be doing sth out of love not out of obligation. Why would we have faith in Him because the goodness of the Lord will touch your heart and soul. You can't never imagine even though we sin or make mistakes but God knows your heart and He loves you anyway. He never leaves you nor forsake you. Some people choose to believe the universe was caused by the big bang; however, it's your call to decide what to believe. I choose believe God create the universe and us. I choose to believe the good in people and the enemy scheme is trying to corrupt human. Therefore, we will no longer hold on to hatred toward men, you know it's not really against the flesh and blood but the enemy. Then, you will be amazed how God has changed the person you once hate to a person being touched by God through you.

Let's read Matthew chapter 14 together sistas!!:D

See you girls tonite!!

Kisses

2011/12/30 You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PTDv_szmL0

Hey women!!!
While I was listening this Bruno song, a verse just came across to my mind which is Psalm 139:14!!You are fearfully and wonderfully made!!! I know as girls, there are times we could never be satisfied the way we look. We don't like our nose, our butt, we think our boobs are too small, face is too big, we keep whining about how imperfect we are and sometimes we need to hear other people's approval then it will dawn on us how beautiful we are. Worst come worst we will become approval addiction!! You know what? Every single one of us is handmade by our Heavenly Daddy, we are His perfect and impeccable creation. More importantly, as a child of God we need to understand the fact that it's not the appearance that matters instead we need to be beautiful inside and out because what God always says in the Scripture "We Live  from Inside Out!"   Every single one of us are so special and even though there are beautiful girls around the world but  they've got nothing on us because the glory of God is shinning upon on us, wherever we go we bring the glory and light up every room we enter just like the radiance! People love being around you not only because you are beautiful on the outside and have a good taste in style but also your beautiful heart reveal your identity as a princess of God, that kind of aroma is totally irresistible! So, right now I would like you to count your blessing by thanking God for making you the way you are!:D
