now i know there's a better way
i love you more and more each day.
whats the better way, having faith in the sure work of christ, and living by grace, knowing that you're perfect in God's eyes.
stop doing something you know you'll never be able to accomplish, but rather, choose Jesus, who acoomplished everything.
let he who has ears, let him hear.

Where does Jesus stand in our life?
maybe we've lost it. just lost it completely. its not about the events planned, not about camps, not about service. its all about Him. To Him, Its all about us. But to us, we think its all about us. maybbe thats just where we lost it.
When your life is all about Jesus, somehow things just start to work themselves out. Seek first his kingdom, and EVERYTHING you ask in Jesus' name, will be given to you. not earned by you, GIVEN to you. doesnt that make you feel better? There's nothing to earn. Grace is undeserved, unearned favour. and that means, YOU AND I, BOTH QUALIFY. so let us stop trying to earn his favour! you cant earn it. you can only believe, because grace came through Christ, and only by believing in the finished of of Christ, will you be able to obtain grace! so would you rather live by the law, trying to follow the 10 commandments, when i bet you guys cant even remember all of them, and break the law time and again, condemning yourselves, or live by and IN grace, knowing that when you sin, God still loves you, he doesnt condemn you, and you ARE STILL the righteouness of God. New wine cannot be poured into old wineskins. by grace or by law. which will you live by ? any normal human would choose not to be condemned. so yea, if you're not normal, then er... yea. for all i know, i'm normal, and damn, grace seems like a much better option.
the one who loved me, gave his life, for me.
P.S anyone wants to go sentosa this week? i'm dying to go. please tag me if you're interested. i'll come up with something (:

many people dont like to hear about how good Jesus is and unconciously, they feel they have to work for their blessings. i can share with people my thoughts, my belief. but they can choose to accept it, or turn your back on it. its just amazing how God's word can be so direct, stated straight as a verse, but people choose to reject it. but at the very end, we'll see if i'm the smartest guy, or the dumbest fool. but one thing for sure i know. i'm the righteousness of God. thank you Jesus, thank you dad.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
Thank you Jesus. you know once in a while, we often forget what Jesus paid on the cross, what he went through, just for you and me. This is true love.
it makes me want to give him my best i can ever give, because he loved me so much.

its been a pretty good week, nights out with lionel, and thats about it. great to have him around to talk with.
god's been really good. i pray you all will be blessed, realizing that God wants to bless you, because of GRACE, which grants you every good thing in life, and MERCY, which takes away from you every bad thing in life.

god's put a really strong point in my heart this week. that to live by grace, i have to just believe. thats all, nothing else. its just that simple. believing and having faith in the sure work of jesus. its so hard to just believe, and embrace the warmth of his love, since i've been brought up in the culture of 'you want it, you better work for it'. but day by day, i'll take a step of faith, that there's nothing i can, or need to do. he did everything. i just have to believe. thank you dad.
