HELLO. ahh have been feeling quite down and uptight and sad and whatever sad stuffies you can name. and wow; found these enlightening stuff on some blog. IT'S GREAT BELIEVE ME! haha. yeaps; FIND PEACE IN THE LORD!
it is seriously great isn't it; and that's what elizabeth jiejie always tell us; no matter what; no matter when; no matter how busy you are; no matter where you are; and no matter what mood swings are you facing; FIND PEACE IN THE LORD FROM THE BIBLE! xD and now, i'm going to do what she always says; and yeap, i believe i'll find peace. (:
recently everybody's getting so uptight and a little depressed? yeah; guides roll call; sjab competition; tests; parent-child conference; blah;
let me adapt something from elizabeth jiejie's blog.
Dear Lord,
Sometimes I wish Adam didnt eat that apple
Then the world wouldnt be in this state
Sometimes i wish there were no wars,no fights, no troubles
And everyone can live in perfect harmony
Tsunamis accompany earthquakes
Wars accompany
sound of wailings echoeing
Death ends it all
Have compassion on us Father
You know how we want to be good but somehow cant
Remember that we were formed from dust
Remember that we are not perfect
Yet I know that Your hand is moving
Miracles are happening
It's no coincidence that only the Muslim countries were struck
Because You love them
Though I hate tsunamis like these
Perhaps this is the only way
That they will finally come back to You
May a greater good come out from these tribulations
May You be glorified Lord
makes a lot of sense doesn't it? here's another whole lot of Gospel; and treasure it.
The Source of Continuous Strength...
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (NIV)
he source of continuous strength. This is the only source of strength that will never run dry. Many are drawing strength from the wrong sources. As a result, the common complaint of 'modern' man is that he is always tired. He never seems to get enough rest. Some even ended up spending huge amounts of money on the couch of the psychiatrist. No matter how much sleep he has, fatigue seems to have an unrelenting grip upon his life. Day in and day out, the man goes through the grind of life. That merciless cycle of fatigue and weariness will reach a breaking point eventually unless that man turn to the source of continuous strength - the good God.
The wonderful Heavenly Father is ever ready to strengthen and refresh the weary. A man may be weary because of a negative situation that he does not have a solution for. However, God has understanding that 'no one can fathom.' He has the strategy and wisdom available to us for such a time as this. God is never weary of strengthening us and encouraging us.
Go ahead and take sometime away from the mad schedule and demands. Retreat to somewhere quiet and tranquil and reflect on the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord. Don't carry the mobile phone with you or your hand held 'palm' devices. Take time to be with your spouse, the 'wife of your youth', away from the children. The time taken is worth it. Take a leisure walk in the park for an hour or so. Go for that fishing trip that you have always wanted. Visit the gym.
If you have been staying away from church, go back to church. Worship and serve Him in sincerity and truth. Take one step towards Him and He will take ten steps towards you.
Jeremiah 6:16 Yet the Lord pleads with you still: "Ask where the good road is, the godly paths you used to walk in, in the days of long ago. Travel there, and you will find rest for your souls.... (TLB)
If you have been so caught up in your career and business and are overwhelmed by business issues and problems, go for that mission trip to that third world country that your pastor has been encouraging you to go. Visit the orphanage. Share the gospel. Feed the hungry. Visit the hospital for the terminally sick. Stop thinking about your own welfare. Be a blessing to others. See the kind of life many are living in those countries, you will discover that you don't have any serious problems after all.
Strength and wisdom from the good Lord will come to you.
Release and let go to the one who has understanding that 'no one can fathom'.
Philipians 4:5-7 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. (TLB)
