shibby!

Hello youths!

Why is it that nobody is posting anything here.. Nothing to share mehh.. hahax

Anyway..

Since I’m not coming for youth service this coming Saturday, i’m going to share with all of you what I’ve read today.

“You can't have a testimony without a test.”

“A testimony is often a way of sharing what God has done in a person's life. However, in order to have a testimony there’s always a test through which that person had to persevere.”

From what I have read and understand and learnt, we are told to rejoice when we are facing problems/trials/affliction but we rejoice not because of the problems itself but because of the outcome or the end result of the trials. We must look the trials we are facing in a positive way because we know that it is a test of our faith and the testing of our faith develops perseverance. In James 1:4, says, "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. "

In other words, we can rejoice/have joy during trials because we know that they help make us mature and complete. Thus refining us into the person God wants us to be.

If you read on a few verses later in James 1:12 we are told the reward of enduring difficult times, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

The everyday life and the challenging events that we go through each day is the thing that refines us and make us more like Christ and in 1 Peter 1:6-7, says that one of the purposes of going through grief and trials is so that our faith can grow and be proven real.

Therefore, a real testimony of growing in faith and becoming like Christ requires going through a test. So, instead of despising your tests and trials, look forward to your testimony; after all, you can't have a testimony without a test.

And lastly, I would like to say good job to those who have shared their testimony because you’ve passed your test! Hahax! :P

I have a few things to say about the guitar concert @ RP before the photos...

1) Why wasn't there a speech or a write up by the President?
2) You should provide snacks or drinks during the interval...

Okie, other than tat, the concert was good. :) Maybe next time you guys can choose more upbeat songs. A bit more lar... but I enjoyed it especially seeing your shy faces when some of them shouted your names. :D

Here are the photos... :)

A little Sharing

Hi guys, as I was just sitting here and listening to a song... The song goes like this,

Jesus, I'll put You first in my life
Nothing else will do
I'll spend the rest of my life in Your house
Giving all to you

It then reminded me of my life verse from Psalm 27:4 "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple."

My prayer is that all of us will want to dwell in the house of the Lord always, just spending time with the Lord and gazing at His awesomeness. This morning, I prayed, that all of us will find time to run into God's arms not only when we need God, but we will always want to be there.

May You guys learn to put God first in your lives because without God we are nothing. Whatever we do, we will choose bring honour and glory to His name! :)
