Jesus: Reason For the Season

Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining
This is the night, of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lived the world, in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt his worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
Oh Night Divine, Oh night, when Christ was born
Oh Night Divine, Oh night, Oh night divine!

Sunday, February 1, 2009 - reflections of '08 :

first let me start with something that happened to me recently. on 21st jan (i rmb the date cos i have been waiting to blog on this)wed, it started with a soccer at the street soccer court near my house. my friend first awoke me by calling me to say that they were downstairs already. So after I ended that call, I just remembered what I learnt from QT the previous night from the 40 days of community and prayed asking God to open my eyes for opportunities to show love to others. So ya after the soccer then went to have lunch at SUMO then I went to Desmond's house for prayer. After that I had to rush to the AMK Hub to take a bus to school for the BB weekly meeting. Then I came across this blind guy who was using his walking stick to figure out his way. I just walked pass him and went for the interchange. When I was waiting for the bus, I kept looking around, hoping to see if he made it here. I kept deciding whether to go and find him and see if he needs help. Then the bus came. When I boarded the bus, I told myself that I didnt feel really guilty cos helping others is like additional/optional/plus point, so if i didnt do it, its not like im doing something wrong. THen I remembered the prayer I had earlier that morning. The thing is that we should look at other people through heaven's eyes, that we should see how much God loves them and the value God sees in them.

ok now to start on '08

I thank God for my O Level results. I really got what I got through God's grace. My combined humanities has always been barely passing? Sometimes out of fluke I would have A2 (highest ever..). After both parts of the paper I was even unsure that I would meet my target (B3). But through God's grace, I got A1!! Seriously it's a miracle!! And my classmate A, who was teaching me and classmate B, got B3 while classmate B and me got A1! Classmate A (kevin) really should have gotten A1 but it must not have been God's plan then. Thank God for him too that helped me to get A1!

I thank God that He was always with me when I was studying for my Os all the way. I made it a point that during the Os or during the prelims I would go for Cell Group and 915 service and do my QT. The thing that made me do it was I kept thinking that every week I only spend like 5 hours with God so I cant even compromise that.

I thank God for loving me even though I doubted Him. What I learnt in FACT Camp was that OUR GOD OUR GOD is the living GOD. Something Caleb said on the last night really touched me and impacted me was that my God listens to me. We dont need to go to a temple or pray at some allocated time to have our prayers heard. God is always besides us, within us, with us to hear every single word we say. That was the real highlight of the whole camp. Something that I took back was that OUR GOD is REAL and that He is different from other gods. I also understood what it meant that "Christianity is not a religion." To put it simply, God loves us for who we are, not because of the laws we obeyed or not. "No one is righteous." Romans 3:9
