    The Lord is always there for those who need Him. But do we see God in our lives? Do we respect His presence? You’ll only see His glory and faithfulness, when you accept Him. Therefore search sincerely for the Truth, and KNOW the real GOD.
  • joshuachlimpremium
    Do not let yourself be discouraged by the circumstances around you, but always focus at the positive, always look to God for hope, to have faith in Him, to trust Him once again.
  • joshuachlimpremium
    You see, God is mysterious and He wants you to discover for yourself, things and hidden truths about Him. If only you’ll open up your heart to Him once again, and let Him into your life, then He’ll show you things you have never known.

    So do not put Him in the closet and seek Him only in times of troubles. Instead always be with Him, every single day, every single time you have. Cherish the moment…for soon the world would come to its end. Be prepared yourself, and stay alert. And trust in Him.
  • joshuachlimpremium
    Human beings don't see their own mistakes and weaknesses. Judgement will not come upon you, if you first judge your own self and not others. Always look yourself in the mirror, and see your own weak points. The Lord respects those who’re humble and meek. Without admitting our weaknesses, we can neve

    For years we carry grudges and a desire to pay back those who hurt us in the past.

    Jobs Tried Exotic Treatments to Combat Cancer, Book Says
    By STEVE LOHR | New York Times
    "In his last years, Steven P. Jobs veered from exotic diets to cutting-edge treatments as he fought the cancer that ultimately took his life. His early decision to put off surgery and rely instead on fruit juices, acupuncture, herbal remedies and other treatments — some of which he found on the Internet — infuriated and distressed his family, friends and physicians. From the time of his first diagnosis in October 2003, until he received surgery in July 2004, he kept his condition largely private.
    Mr. Jobs was one of 20 people in the world to have all the genes of his cancer tumor and his normal DNA sequenced. The price tag at the time: $100,000..
    In October 2003, Mr. Jobs got the news about his cancer, which was detected by a CT scan. One of his first calls was to Larry Brilliant, a physician and epidemiologist, who would later become the head of Google’s philanthropic arm. The men went way back, having first met at an ashram in India.
    “Do you still believe in God?” Mr. Jobs asked.
    Mr. Brilliant spoke for a while about religion and different paths to belief, and then asked Mr. Jobs what was wrong. “I have cancer,” Mr. Jobs replied.
    Mr. Jobs put off surgery for nine months, a fact first reported in 2008 in Fortune magazine.
    When he did take the path of surgery and science, Mr. Jobs did so with passion and curiosity, sparing no expense, pushing the frontiers of new treatments. According to Mr. Isaacson, once Mr. Jobs decided on the surgery and medical science, he became an expert — studying, guiding and deciding on each treatment. Mr. Isaacson said Mr. Jobs made the final decision on each new treatment regimen.
    The DNA sequencing that Mr. Jobs ultimately went through was done by a collaboration of teams at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Harvard and the Broad Institute of MIT. The sequencing, Mr. Isaacson writes, allowed doctors to tailor drugs and target them to the defective molecular pathways.
    A doctor told Mr. Jobs that the pioneering treatments of the kind he was undergoing would soon make most types of cancer a manageable chronic disease. Later, Mr. Jobs told Mr. Isaacson that he was either going to be one of the first “to outrun a cancer like this” or be among the last “to die from it.”
    By 2011, Bill Gates had for years focused most of his time on his huge charitable foundation. Mr. Jobs told Mr. Isaacson that Bill Gates was happier than he had ever seen him. They talked about the emotional rewards of family life and having children, and the good fortune to have married wisely."
    ..........................................​..................................................​.......................................
    God is love,
    He does everything for His people.
    Only through love can one's heart can be touched.
    The cross is a symbol of love and sacrifice.
    All who believe in Him shall be saved.

    But that alone is not enough.
    Many times in life
    we put God out of the picture.
    many people neglect His presence;
    they can't even spend an hour a day with Him.

    But God judge all of us differently,
    He knows our limitations and abilities.
    He will only command us to do something
    when He knows we are ready.

    The thing that keeps every child of God moving
    is His endless grace and mercy.
    A person without God's grace will stumble in life.
    We fall short of His glory
    when we stop loving Him from within our heats,
    when we become cold and lukewarm,
    when we start to compromise
    and the line between black and white is blurred.

    God is seeing the inner us, not what we present to others.
    We are transparent before the Lord,
    all our thoughts, feelings and desires He knows them all.
    With God
    everything is certain,
    and there is no wondering
    or lost of focus,
    for He is a God
    who knows
    what is best for you.

    If you would begin
    to discover His plan for you
    and start walking in it,
    then you would see things
    starting to get into place.

    Do not stray away
    from the plans of God for you,
    for many blessings are awaiting you
    Many promises are yet
    to come true in your life.

    So grap hold of the time
    that you have now
    and use it wisely.
    What pleases God the most
    is that we care about Him,
    that we put Him first.

  • God really does exist

     

    God really does exist.
    We r not able to see
    with our own eyes because God is spirit.

    Know that He is truth
    and is filled with nothing but glory.
    He shines brighter than any sun or any star in the skies
    for indeed God is glorious n holy.
    Every tongue shall confess
    n every knee shall bow
    at His name
    for He deserves all praise n glory.

    Know the Lord's heart.
    He feels just like us.
    He understands what u r going through.
    Your thoughts He knows.

    what a privilege we are created in His image.
    just imagine sharing traits with the King!
    he had prepared places for everyone in heaven.
    just follow the Lord's leading
    for He's the light n the truth.

    Cruel things may still happen to us
    but with God with us
    we know everything will be alright.
    we might still fear n be frightened
    but deep inside us we know
    God would never let go of our hands.
    we might stumble n fall n feel discouraged
    but if we trust God
    He'll pick us up
    for He's an unfailing God
    like a rock, so strong n stable.

    Love is all we live for
    for we r created to be loved n to love.
    It's a natural thing to fall in love
    but no love can be compared to God's love
    for it is pure n sincere n everlasting.

    put your faith in Him
    let Him love you.

    O Lord, in my darkness and despair, who can I turn to?
    My hope is in You.
    In this dark hour, I hold fast to You.
    I rest in Your goodness, faithfulness, and love.
    Though I cannot see You in the darkness, I believe in You.
    You're working everything together for good.
    I'll not be downcast; I'll not be disturbed within.
    I place my hope in your promises.
    I look not at my circumstances, but I look up toward You in heaven.
    I walk by faith, not by sight.
    You give me the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
    I shall learn of You, for Your yoke is easy,
    and Your burden light.
    You shall plant me by the waters, and even in drought,
    I'll yield fruit because of my trust in You.
    You'll keep me in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.
    I'll fix my thoughts on You,
    for You're my refuge and my fortress.
    In the name of Jesus, I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2Cor.10:5).
    I pull out all roots of anger, anxiety
    and bitterness from my mind,
    and I command my frenzied thoughts
    to come to a standstill, in Jesus's name.
    Replace the my wrong thoughts with Your Thoughts.
    Let Your Word renews my mind.
    I'll lie down in peace and sleep;
    for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety (psalm 4:8).
    And when I awaken, Your grace
    shall enable me to face another day.

  • one Truth that lies beneath all mysteries

  • the bitter autumn rain

     

    [Walking out alone in the heavy autumn rain,
    letting my tears wash away my pain,
    my horrifying pain that I want it to go away.
    the rain n wind gets harder blowing me to the side
    knowing I am cracking and breaking inside.
    empty and alone, trying to hide.
    the rain is beating hard,
    as i feel the beat of my broken heart
    that is slowly falling apart.
    can i find solace in the rain
    taking away my pain.

    i see the reflection of me,
    in the broken pool of waters
    the tears i cry i can hardly see.
    my eyes are red,
    my hair blowing in the wind,
    the scars on my face, slowly are
    disappearing without a trace.

    walking around, there is nothing
    not even the smallest thing to make
    as I look down, staring at my feet.
    the feelings of self doubt,
    feelings of lost within a crowd.
    feeling empty and alone.
    trapped in this world.

    the wind blows through my hair,
    as the rain rushes down,
    making me feel free for a moment
    putting me at ease, at peace for now.

    as i start to breathe again....

    taken from "rain", "breathe" by Sarah


    What has the autumn done to us?
    That endless wind, that heavy rain...

    My eyes with tears and bitter pain.
    It's over now, the autumn's game
    though it hurts a lot
    We could be happy, but we're not
    Why is life so cruel and sad?
    It's stolen happiness we've had

    when heartache appears in our lives
    we are forced to face bittersweet truths
    we are reminded that within each challenge
    there is always a higher offering
    although hidden from our view
    we must raise our thinking, open our hearts
    and recognize that we are being called to a new stage in life,
    a higher calling, a new dimension in life
    unfamiliarity can be frightening
    and new paths look uncertain.
    but what is life, if not a journey into the wondrous unknown?
    look around...grace and beauty can still be found within pain.
    the only lock,keeping us trapped or blind or stuck is fear.
    the only cage is the condition of our minds.

    Can we change the past?
    No. It’s as hard as granite, as immovable as a mountain.

    Cold Mountain Movie says,
    “You can grieve endlessly for the loss of time and damage done.
    For many things that happened.
    You can grieve on and on.
    You can grieve your heart out,
    And in the end, you’re still where you are.”
    All your grief has not change a thing.
    What you have lost will not be returned to you.
    It will always be lost.
    You are left with only scars.
    All you can choose to do is go on or not.
    But if you go on, it’s knowing you carry your scars with you.”

    Grief and bitterness can only keep you a prisoner of the past.
    What’s done is done.
    Regret cannot change what has already happened.
    No matter how many times we say “if only.”
    No matter how bitterly we blame and accuse.
    bitterness can only ruin us.
    We will become prisoners in our own dark souls,
    Suffocated by our own brooding thoughts.
    You reap your own thoughts
    Yes, we must learn to move on,

    No matter the past.

    We cannot change what has happened.
    We do have one power…we can trust God to redeem the past.
    If we let Him.
    God can use the evil of what has happened
    And transforms it into something good.

    Do right and don’t go against your conscience.
    Sometimes you doubt yourself.
    Have peace in your heart; hold on to the things you believe in.
    Put your trust in God
    For He’ll never leave you.
    He’s ever faithful, the One who created you.
    Don’t let others pull you down.
    Don’t let others talk you out of things.

    People may not understand you, but God understands.
    If you believe, you can touch the supernatural.
    You can see miracles in your life.
    It’s not easy to put the past behind.
    But look what the future holds for you.
    With God’s help, you can almost do anything
    Including overcoming your fears and pain.
  • to love even though it's impossible n looks stupid to do so

    Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.
    This is the second greatest commandment Jesus gave.

    Yes, the Lord hears your cries...cry for help, cry for grace, cry for justice.
    He knows what you are going through
    and He wants you to know that you are not in this alone.

    The Lord is always good to us,
    though many times circumstances show otherwise.
    But take a look at Job, take a look at Paul,
    take a look at all those who had stayed faithful to God.
    They were persecuted when they were doing the right thing.
    They were tortured because of their faith.
    Jesus was crucified because of His love for us.

    All the great men and women in the bible have something in common.
    Their love for God's people outweighs any suffering they had to go through.
    What gave them this determination is their love for others.
    It's difficult to love those who had done wrong to us,
    It's difficult to look past that ugly face to see the lost soul inside our enemies.
    But that is what Jesus is calling us to do,
    to love even though it's impossible and stupid to do so.
    As Christians, we are fools in the eyes of men
    but what matters most is that God is pleased and happy with us.

    Jesus came to this Earth as a man, so that He could die for you and me.
    He was God, who became a servant.
    He was God, who died a convict's death.
    But God is saying to us today that "it is finished."
    We don't have to suffer anymore to save ourselves.
    It is already done!
    All that is left to do is believe.
    Everything in this world belongs to God
    and we as His children have everything too!

    "For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death,
    or things present or things to come - all are yours. And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's."
                                                                                                       (1Corinthians 3: 21-23 )

    Victory is ours since the moment you believed that Jesus is the Son of God.
    We no longer have to fight this battle as the battle is already won!
    No, despite all these things,
    overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. (Romans 8 : 37 )

    It is difficult to believe in things that seem so unreal and impossible.
    But that is what faith is about, believing without the presence of doubt.
    So, take this step of faith.
    Tell God that you are hopeless and helpless without Him.
    Tell God how afraid you are,
    how angry and frustrated you are with life,
    how worried you are about the future,
    practically just how tired you are with life right now.

    Just close your eyes and start pouring out to God
    until you feel the weight on your shoulder is lighter.
    Let the tears, all the hurts and pains pour out from your heart.
    It is between you and God, no one else.
    There's no pretense, no hiding, no holding back.
    Be transparent in front of Jesus, laying all your junks and burden at His feet,
    for it is not for us to carry all these burden in life.
    It had never meant to be ours to bear.

    Imagine an empty cross, where Jesus was once hung.
    Just think about His sacrifice and love for you.
    All Jesus ever cared about was you;
    nothing else mattered to Him but you.
    He loves you so much that His heart aches whenever He sees yours aching.

    Jesus loves us dearly.
    We are the world to Him.
    Don't you think He would have a great future for us?
    Don't you think He would provide us with our every need?
    Don't you think He loves us too much to let us suffer?

    All our bond ages had been broken when Jesus took our place at the cross.
    It is we today who bound ourselves to chains
    when the key to these chains is all this while in our hands.

    Therefore let's make Jesus' death worth while.
    Go back to the basics; go back to your first love.
    Go back to the roots to why you call yourself a Christian today.
    Going back to basics is always the best move to make when you are lost.
    Go back to your Abba Father.

    stay united as one and do not do as you want
    like murmur or complain of immediate wants
    controlled by things you see and want.
    Instead be content and be thankful for each day brings
    for things already given, all your blessings
    for His grace and mercy are new every morning

    love God with all your heart, soul and mind
    of others's imperfections, have the mind of Christ
    and do everything according to His will
    for many things unseen are important still
    therefore always be prepared and always please Him

    And in His Word you read and meditate
    with a humble spirit you patiently wait
    as you let go and let Him control
    He will bless you with riches untold.
    when you turn to Him in times of troubles
    by His grace overcome you shall be able
