This 1 whole week - I was reminded by God abt this..... that He gives and takes away. Last Friday, at SMU cell, when Bob shared and this statement came by, it was as though the entire earth paused and all I felt was..... God's assurance that when He give, He really gives..... but when He takes it away, will I still praise Him as usual?
I came to the point that I had to surrender my rights. Yes, my entire rights to my everything. On Saturday, when Chris shared from Job..... God spoke thru my heart again. This time, I simply fell to my knees knowing that I just needed God to take away all my rights. Still, it's tough but yes, it's easier when we are a step nearer to the end of the race.
What comforts me most is that He gives the best (to His knowledge of coz) and takes what is not good for us (which we sometimes think is good)..... I just want to thank God for the wonderful practice we had, the wonderful job He has provided, the wonderful life He created me to be.
Be Blessed!

The Great Buffet
Isaiah 58 - "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins.
As I was reading the 40 days prayer booklet in office today, it was talking about selecting our 'food' in terms of what we like to read or listen. 'Food' in this case refers to the Word. Are we treating it like the great buffet? How often that we love to flip through the pages in our bible and read only the things we want to see and how often when God speaks to us, we only choose to listen parts where we love most?
PRAY!
Our generation need to listen. We often conveniently get rid of things we don't like. So today, allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts. Start this season with the right posture. Let us reflect on our personal walk with the Lord.
Choose to grow deep in God. Learn the finest art of prayer: Listening. Let our ears be sensitive to hear and understand. Allow the Holy Spirit to teach us today and forevermore.
