Our worth is not what we do, but it is what God did for me.

We're just done the book of Philippians, and once again I saw how Paul's heart beats for those whom he loves. Philippians faced many problems in their church, and there was a false teaching about receiving law to make a complete salvation. Somehow through this book, I felt God affirm me as a precious person that God's made, and he totally gave himself up just for me. I'm not worthy to receive it, but it's not what God thought.

I looked back into my personal life, and I found so many thing that I dealt with a bad attitude. I valued people on what they do or blame them on what they've done. This timeless truth just came to me to reminds me that I should give others grace while I'm needing God's grace for my own life. However, my walk with God still continue, and I know that God hasn't finish with me, but I want to recommit myself to give grace and room for people's failures. Whatsoever is an effect to me, I'll take it as a lesson of growing in a way of God.

God, I need your mercy. I want to forgive every single person who has done wrong to me, and may I be forgiven. I want to learn and practice how to be like you, and how to put on your cloth of holiness. As a beloved child, I would love to follow your steps and apply those truth into my life. To be a fruitful person since you've done a wonderful thing in me, and to be channel of sharing your love to every kind of people, I wanna be. May your name be always glorify! Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 ESV There are many people in different generation refer to this specific scripture as their comforts, their hopes, and encouragement for others which is not wrong of doing it so, but recently I read this passage over and over until I have the deeper understanding with its context and meditate on it, so I want to write it down to remind myself and share it with you. The verse before this scripture is "For Thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will visit you, and I'll fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:10-11 ESV . God told Jeremiah to write a letter stating this passage in Jerusalem and send it to the survivi...

Control & Approval

During these intense 6 months of co-leading a YWAM training school, I have been learning and exploring tons of thing about who God is and about myself which I have to lay down myself in many ways. My intimate relationship with God has been developing since I took the FOCOS (Coaching Course with CMI), for I started to focus more on my quality time with God and learning to listen to him. In past 3 months, although there are so much works going on, I still learn to be still and know that God is God where I can't control any thing at all. Through this school, I wish I could be more prepared, the building would be perfect to run the school, all staffs would be ready to serve the school, and the students would learn and grow incredibly, but those are false expectations because God's plan and how he works in a whole group and individual are totally what we are experiencing now. There are tons of small thing occurs to make us discouraged, but I do learn to let thing go and depend on Go...

Sonship

Around this time last year, I was at the Father Heart 'A' school, and it was only a week to learn about God's heart as a father. I expected me to be changed and healed from all the wounded of my past, so that I don't have any trouble to love and accept others, but what I experienced there was completely contrast from my expectation. I experienced God's heart for me and learned how much he loves me. I found a huge fear in the core of me, the fear of death, and there is no one will fight to protect me because I was ruined since I was in the womb of my mom, but God revealed himself to me that he was there to protect and comfort me. I can prove that he is right because I am still alive until today. I am so afraid to be in some place that I can't help myself if there is an emergency, I am afraid to fly, I am afraid to be in the ocean and surround with water. This is what God revealed to me, and it helped me to deal with it. I need to understand who God is for me, so ...
