A heart warming letter from Him to us (especially for those who have forgotten to pass Him the burden and are trying to drag your own baggage). (:

Perhaps you are feeling a little lost. Perhaps you are struggling with certain issues. Perhaps you are feeling stagnant. Whatever it is, remember Him. He's our Counsellor, our Friend, our Teacher, our Prince of peace. (:

"Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind. I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. "
-Psalm 73:21-26

My cousin showed me this video yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9vINvMb4R8

It makes God seem intimidating and scary, but truth is, He has given us ample grace. If we choose to turn our backs against the world, if we seek after Him and repent before Him, He will be gracious and faithful in forgiving us and helping us overcome our sins. God is a loving God, but so is He a just God. This video jolted me. I pray that it will not be just a passing reminder, but that the Holy Spirit will continually nudge us and remind us. Let us not take any chances. Let us not be half-hearted christians. Let us run this race, keeping our eyes on the prize.

"Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
"Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?"
"And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
-Matthew 7:21-23

And at that moment, as i looked at her, all i could feel was her love for me. All she wanted was to give me the best that she could give. She thought nothing for herself.

In the reality show "My Dad is better than your Dad", four father-child teams compete to go through each round to get to the final round. The five rounds include "My Dad is faster", "My Dad is stronger", "My Dad is smarter", "My Dad is braver" and "My Dad knows me better". Apart from the entertainment factor, this programme depicts how children look up to their dads as their heroes. To each child, his/her dad is the best and none can compare to their dads. Similarly, to me, none can compare to my mum or my dad. (:

I must say i am greatly blessed, because be it mum or dad, God has given me the two best people in the world! (:
Not that i love my dad any less but i just want to really say that i love my mum super lots. She has been by my side in my ups and my downs. She always knows when something is troubling me. She always supports my decisions even though she may not always be agreeable. She always wants the best for me and she will give all that she has got to provide me with the best. My mum is one of the best gifts God can ever shower upon me because her presence is so comforting, her presence makes me feel secured and protected. I know i can always trust and rely on her.

If our earthly parents can give us so selflessly, how much more will our Father in heaven bless us with everything good! If we can trust and rely on our earthly parents so implicitly, all the more we can do that with our Heavenly Father!

Want to know how to love God? Start by loving your parents. (:
