Gambateh, my friends~!

Specialist to all my families and friends, a short and simple post for you guys.

Living in this imperfect world, getting worse and worse, we will never know what will happen tomorrow. Good or bad, ups or downs, right or wrong, fair or unfair~ We will never know what we'll get tomorrow. Some of us may afraid to face tomorrow, worry of failure and unexpected things, scare that we'll do wrong again. May be we have tried so hard to be the best, but that make us stress out and yet we didn't get what we want. Mindful of why and how. Searching for better way or answer. No one can give you the answer and you are alone? Feel like giving up?

My friends, cheer up~ Put aside these things, and look at your surroundings, you'll find things that are beautiful and worth enough for us to be grateful. Don't say you can't find, search for them, indeed they exist! Just that the bad things blind folded your eyes.

No worry. Everything is in control in a mighty creator's hand. Raise your head, look at the sky, and pray if you need a miracle, He heards~ Be positive, forgets what's behind, last year, last month, last week and yesterday, look forward and run towards your dream.

Know what is the most beautiful thing in this world? It's the LOVE. Families' love, friends' love and of course God's love. He has put love in this world which makes the world so beautiful. When you are alone, there's someone cares for you. When you fall, there's someone ready to lend you a helping hand. When you are down, there's someone is praying for you. When you have sorrow, there's someone ready to listen to you. When you feel like giving up, many don't want you to.

We'll walk together. We are not made to be alone. No matter how tough we're, don't face your life on your own. Let's stay together. It's the love that makes everything beautiful, that joins us together. This love is more than enough for us to be thankful.

So, my friends, rub off your tears, put a smile on your face, and let's walk together with honesty and patience, with love. Gambateh~! ^^

With LOVE.

Hello 2010!!! (Additional)

Today's Sunday service was awesome! The whole sermon was like a confirmation for me. From the previous post, I said that I felt this year will be full of harvest, full of joy.

And today, our dearest Pastor Peter shared about praise and worship. He told us about the power of praising using our mouth either in spirit or mind. Praise God at anyplace and anytime. Rejoice and praise either in favorable or adverse circumstance. We praise, not only because we're so blessed physically, but we praise because of the wonderful and mighty things He has done on the cross to rescue us. Solely because of the salvation and grace we received from Him, it's worth enough for us to praise Him using all we got forever and ever. Praises bring joy, praises bring healing anointing, praises bring miracles, praises can influence situation and atmosphere, praises are so powerful as they bring great influence in spirituality and reality!

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Saviour and my God.
Psalm 42: 5

I will extol the LORD at all times, His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.
Psalm 34: 1-3

So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
1 Corinthians 14: 15

I will praise You forever for what You have done; in Your name I will hope, for Your name is good. I will praise You in the presence of Your saints.
Psalm 52: 9

As years passed, I am sure that the challenges I'll face will get tougher and tougher. (One of them is my study~ Upper six already~ facing STPM~! ) But, don't know why, my heart still full of joy and excitement. Truely it's the power of praises. I will make year 2010 full of melody of praise.

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.
Psalm 89:15

Hallelujah~! Praise Him~! ^^
