Look to Him...

Have you even felt like that?

There are so many chances out there, and we "just" look for opportunities.
There are so many books out there, and we look for "how" to be a good person.
There are so many love songs, and we look for the feeling,
There is so many blogs been post, we look for solution from what they "understanding".
There are so many dreams, but we look for how it been forgotten.
There are so many religions out there, and we look for "meaning" of life.
There are so many churches out there, and we look for the "church" that makes us feels good.
There are so many kind of loves, but still we looking for “Love”

We ask…
We search…
We try…
We fail…
We cry…
We fall…
We stop looking…

What is it in your life you’re looking for?

Friends… To be honest I tried all those myself. But the truth is… we fail. We don’t know where to look to… but there are a man looking for you to turn to Him. Maybe you never accept him as friend, but he is always there for you. Why can’t you stop and look up to him? Yes… the name of Jesus has always be in between your life, I’m sure God give us a chance to know Him. Here I’m not talking about what church you go to, or how “some” Christian deal with life. Not about them, just you & God. Where you’re looking at?

Look to Jesus. Not me telling you, or how other people tell you. Sometime I felt bad to think I know a lot here… but not at all!! I really want to know him!! Know him personal!! Come to Him, whatever reason you find yourself reading this… I can only do that much… but I believe Jesus can do so much more in your life!! Friends, Jesus loves you!!! No matter how you fail, He loves you… face to face with Him. Really know him, know his Love~

Mission Calling~

These days I found myself talking to a lot of people about God...
I'm amazed how much chance I got into... as I step out in Faith...

I realize one thing as I talk to these people I meet, I asked them about church, most the people would say "I don't have any religion, or I don't believe in religion...." Well, I wondering all the time how God will link to religion, or most the people would link church with religion. You may think ya... going to church are part of religion thingy. Well, I think the question is how you see the church, and more... how you see God?

I don't believe God- the Creator of All things is limited by "religion" or this small "church building". In the Old testaments people build the temple for God and they think God living in that place. But God doesn't really "live" there. He choose somewhere best for us, for God loves us so much that he sent Jesus to die on that cross for us, so that we might live a life of fullness. And if you open your heart to Jesus, He will come into your heart and LIVES in You~ How great is that!!! The Church is the Body of Christ, the Church is not a building, and The Church is the people… We are the Church. Confuse? Here is the key point… It is not about you... Church is not about you... there is no point "going" to church if you keep that "religion" mind-set... if you don’t have that Relationship with God, everything would be meaningless. I been that place, it is so hard... and the devil know about this one, he can play with our mind, and he will keep us going forward to God. But God is faithful, he always guide you. “He guide me in the path of righteous, For His name Sake… Even I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you’re with me…” (Psalm 23 NIV) “Religion” will fail you, caz they came from Human Wisdom, and they’re limited by their own understanding. But we as Church is lead by Spirit, which is from God. Jesus will never fail you; he will be with you always… till the End of the Earth. I believe we as Church have a calling to go on the Mission. It is time to rise up, a generation that know God, know His Love and faithfulness.

And of caz, we will always praying together, so that we can growth in our relationship with God.

It is all over my head.... But still I trust...

Sorry guys I haven't type much these days, It is not that I have nothing to share, I think of a lot things happening in my life. It happen weeks ago... in fact time and time again, I kinda not movie to do much, found myself reading the Words, but fall asleep. Talking to God but being driven away~ This is not so good, that's how I feel... ummm tiring Lol I started school and there is so much work need to be done, I only end up working one day a week.... OH WELL, sound like there is a lot of negative Lol It is so easy to driven away if you off focus from God. The laziness of school, the dis-unity with people, the struggle with mind-set, oh well, I will go forever... But the Words of God told me to trust, he point me to worship, in times I don't "feel" like it, in times I never think I "could"...He could~ He is Here~

When all the music fades, sing from your soul...
Put your trust in me… Trust me...
Close to listen and I will give you Faith...
Call out to me... and I will listen…You will be my people...
And I will be your God, the Mighty One of Heave!
Lift this up, over all the worries, all the wearies…

Hear my confession my Lord, my Saviour…

This sound of worship, this sound of faith... I bring to you!!
Is for you, is all for you~ you alone are God.
Speak to my soul, this burden soul~

Free me from prides and evil desires…
Let my heart be still… rescue my soul…
In times of darkness let me sing to you
Forever I will sing, forever I will sing~

There is time I go through some hard time with my walk with God, and it really harder on me. I really thank all my friends here, they bring such encouragement to me, keep trusting me, and willing to see me growth.... Thanks for the church, I realize that joy to just be in the House of God...not about the music, not about how we see~ But it is about bring faith in this place...this place fill with the present of God… let my heart be still, let my soul be still, to worship, to really worship, to seek God face to face, have that encounter with God, only by His Grace, only by his blood… let us not boast in anything. There is time I found myself being so silly to boast about what I have in life, I never think pride is an issue to me, but it is…

God’s Will is over everything. When you’re pride, God show you how to be humble. When you’re weak, God lift you up. When you are dry, God fill you Living Water… Time and time again, God show me, God show me how to humble… In times of brokenness, God show me mercy… It is at that Cross I realize how small I am…and how big He is… … always remembering the cross, I have that clean picture how Jesus took up the cross before me… it seem so fair, knowing where he is going… knowing why he have to go… knowing how he think of you and me… knowing how He Loves you… never off focus of the Cross!!

The people I meet outside the world, they all have different stories. And it doesn’t really matter if they’re believer or not, homeless people, people on the train, bus, going to work, off from work…I talk to them… I believe God can use all the people and things for good…for His Purpose. I remember the time I feel so down… broken inside, and how I struggle by myself…I got to meet these people, people with real needs… I realize this is a heart God given to me… no matter how broken I am… I can not deny the need of other people… these are the people really need someone to care for… they need people to listen to them… Hear their stories… Once again I came out my “little world”… once again I talk about God with them, once again I pray for them… Even in times I feel I have nothing… I have nothing but this little faith… Still Love, still forgive~ It doesn’t matter how you feel Andy… it is not about you… Hold on to it, take off my pride, and take off my comfort-zone… Really learn to do it with Love, with Love!!!

I wanna to talk about trust here, I think it is important to trust other people, trust in the work they do, trust in the hard time, trust in the Lord who can overcome the hard time... Time and time again through out the old and new testament, people being test, and the Godly will always be there~ Think of me I'm not really very obey, I didn't stay home much *with my dad *, I didn't commit to the Words much...I haven't done much with the Lord, the more ashamed would be few months ago, when my friend asked me, “How is your relationship with God now?” The very fact that I can’t answer, I struggle… I don’t know if I really close to God… I feel cold… not good, so I talk to God again… well for those have been there, knowing to trust God… Believe in your heart God will rise you up, it is in your heart that you believe, and justified, and with your mouth that you confess, and saved. (Romans 10:10) Trust in God, and His Words will line up with you. Really trust Him with Love, passion, all of you!!!

The Man From George Street

This is such an amazing story~
If one man can do it, imagine what one church can do!

“To be saved costs us nothing... To be a disciple costs us everything"

“To be saved costs us nothing... To be a disciple costs us everything"

The more I got to know what it means to follow Christ, I think of how much I don’t deserve all these, but still…how much more God had given to us? Thinking of the cross where Jesus died for you and I… the shame of our sins, the separate with God, the unforgiven is set free on that cross~ How great is that… It might look defeated on that cross but is not! He had go through this, so that He himself can tell you “This is done for you, and this is how much I love you…” Friends, Jesus had done for you, even you don’t know Him, he had done that for you.

None of us deserve what God had done for us...no one is righteous…not even one. It is not what we do something right or by our works that we’re saved…It is all about the Grace of God, so that none of us can do this, only God himself can. So we’re saved, that’s cost us nothing…. But think about what you have calls to do. I truly believe every one of us is saved and called by God, to be a disciple will cost us everything. I think of the hard times I go through, and I understand…. Every time I turn to God. I understand how great the cost is… Paul said he will do everything he can to go forward for the price in Christ Jesus. The price is there…but it will cost you everything, but God himself had promised this is worthy to do.

I often think, what’s is like when Jesus died on the cross…what’s is he thinking…his last thought, I believe he had think of each one of you~

The purpose life God given to us~

My life had been so meaningless without God… I realize how much time I had wasted… Now that I found Jesus…well, He found me I would said ~everything is different, so much different~ I found life, I found purpose, I found joy & peace, everything I need. As I look back in this season of life, how much I had changed, maybe is just about two years time, but seem forever… I might not be person God call me to be yet, but thank God I’m not the person I used to be~ I know this is so much more to see, so much more He can show me…

God had placed a purpure in each of us… I found myself listening to a message, speaking of the purpose in life found in Psalm 23. I don’t think I had really look into the book of Psalm, but the more I put time on it, the more I find how amazing David as a man after God’s heart.

Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

I used to think if you surround by nature with trees, waters you can really feel peace. But the more I get to know God, I found out true peace does not require those stuffs. In Psalm 23, David talks about being in green pastures, quiet water, there is not how he feel, but that’s what God put in his heart~ The fear of the Lord, totally trust and honour for who God is. That’s kind of Peace God tend to give us. “Even though I walk through the valley of shadow of death”, through hard time, through darkness… “I will fear no evil, for you are with me” How amazing is that man? In this season of life, I realize my faith is not as strong as I think, I cannot lead on what I understanding, I have to ask God, I seeking to the Words… And that’s what I find, as I going through hard times, I think of David said. The fear of the Lord… the meaning of life; the purpose given to every one of us. For we’re nothing without God. The great thing about David is not about how many victories he had won or being a King, but have a brave heart~

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecclesiastes 12:13

We need Jesus~

“Caz Your Will is not my will; Your Thoughts is not my thoughts…”

Such a long summer time for me…. I finally went back to school. Think it all over again, it is a bit crazy how many schools I had applied through the past six months Lol I’m now at SIBT- *Some kind of College School at Macquarie University, studying business…well, I have no idea what business really is, I just want to learn more about organizing stuff and meet more people, hoping to open a small business in the further…like a coffee house as I said Lol The first day school was pretty crazy, I was missing my Student ID card...first day school Lol~ Great Lol The first class I have was something deal with management behavior, oh man…the guy teaching that class was so wired… in some way Lol I learn so interesting things that day, managing and stuff…pretty much is all theories and I found out one some of the theories is similar…to the bible *well no God in between would be nothing~*Lol I was listening to this guy speaking, and he talk about leadership, skills, decisions, something deal with self-image *who you are* he said there is nothing higher than that, but of caz I have something higher than that Lol I wanna how they view about Godly confidence~ Somehow I think of someone I meet week ago, I was out with some church friend to the city side, pretty much our job is to talk to people about life…about God~ And I remember this man I talk to, as many people think he think his life is good without God, he said his life is good because of his good managing and decision making… I wondering how we have that mind set always focus on our own ability~ caz it is really very limited and how can we forgot about this God? His sacrifice? His Glory? Friends, We need this God, we need Jesus!! I declare life is nothing without God, everything would be meaningless…
