Uniquely loved by God

Everyone is uniquely & wonderfully made by God. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. [Psalm 139:14]

In the office, there is a temporary staff helping in administration work at our department. The temporary staff is paid in hour for 3 days a week hence we can only get student who is willingly to earn extra pocket money during her vacation months before she starts studying. The current staff is the 4th person as at now.

All these 4 staff work very differently. A was chatty and efficient in her work as she has experience and confidence. B was quietly doing her work and sometimes we need to ask if she has done her work. C was doing work without asking and does it very fast hence sometimes we need to validate her work. D was inexperience she asked lots of helps and attentions when problems came.

These all experiences reminded me of ourselves. In different situation we were at different stage. Have you ever wondered if God was so busy asking and answering our queries which sometimes sounded ridiculous? Thank be to God that He never feel sick of us when we comes to Him. He knows well who we are.

Psalm 17:6-9 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

God knows our desire!

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.[Psalm 37:4]. God finally answered my prayer in amazing way! Praise the Lord!

Clarine, my colleague is young believer of Christ, she only likes to go to Faith Methodist Church, the first church she ever visited.

Last year she started going for the service with my company & by her own four times in total. I could not possibly company her all the time as I have my home church & ministry to serve. I tried to find a cell group for her but she refused to go as she was not comfortable with it. I have been praying for her that she might get to know someone in the church so that she would go to Sunday service more often.

This year I took 2 months (Jun-Jul) break from my choir ministry for personal reason hence I took the opportunity to go to the church with her two times.

On Sunday I was late for the service. I thought the service started at 8:30am but in actual fact it started on 8am. So the usher escorted us to sit at the right wing of the service hall. During the service, the pastor announced that someone had dropped his card and requested the person to collect the card from church leader at the end of the service.

When the service ended, Clarine & I walked out of the service hall and shook hand with the church leader. Then to our surprise, we saw our ex-colleagues stood at the door as if waiting for us. Our ex-colleagues were surprise seeing us too. One of them was the person who lost his card & he was waiting for the church leader to pass back his card. Clarine was extremely happy and saying to me: “Now, I don't need to bother you. I have a companion to the church.”

Clarine & I have been visited the church for 6 times in 2 years but we never met our ex-colleagues. They always sit at the right wing of the service but Clarine & I usually sit at the centre of the hall.

We were amazed by God’s arrangement for us. God knows our desire and he provides it in time. Next month I'll be back to my choir & I can attend it in joy & peace! Praise the Lord!

Trained First Aider

There were 20 of us colleagues volunteered by our boss to attend Standard First Aider course by the Red Cross company. The 3 days course were so interesting. We were taught on how to handle choking case, bandaging different types of wounds, fainting case, CPR, etc. If any help needed, we have to introduce ourselves: “Hi, I am trained first aider. I can help you.”

From this course, I learnt 2 things. Firstly I was blessed to be chosen to attend this course as many wanted to attend but limited vacancies. Secondly I wondered as Christian, would I go bold to tell people who are choking in their spiritual life “Hi, I am Christian. I can share good news to you”.

The trainer shared that in Singapore, yearly there is about 2400 people are suffering from heart attack (life threatening disease). There are 900 people died, 500 people could have been saved if there are enough bold trained first aider around.

Think and act wisely! Life is precious, don’t hesitate to save life! God bless you all!

He calls us by name

After 5 weeks break from BSF, tonight we were back to class and sang this beautiful song.
"All the way my Savior leads me".

All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.

Yes! Indeed God has lead me for 5 weeks break and I believe He will lead me throughout my entire life. I love this phrase mentioned in the lecture. God wants to have one to one relationship with us. He calls his own sheep by name.

John 10:3b He(Good shepherd, Jesus Christ) calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

Did you hear God is calling your name? How sweet it is! What will be your reponse?

Be yourself!

Are you not satisfied with yourself? As human nature we will never satisfied unless we are satisfied with God.

I always admired those who were born tall. Someday Amy, a friend of mine complained: "I have a problem running, being tall I will hurt my knee easily".

I was quite shocked to hear that. Then I realised no matter tall or short we always have a problem because we are human being.

Treasure what you have and accept what you don't have & be happy! God loves you dearly!
