Pointing Fingers

Scripture

37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."Luke 6:37-38

Observation
Jesus taught about what the reality of judging one another. What goes around, comes around. This is the same even for judging and forgiving one another. Giving nature as well. Whatever we do, it will come back to us.

Judge: We are coming into conclusion what is right and what is wrong.
Question: Who has the authority to judge? ==> God
How to: When? Kind loving words vs hard love. Our timing (self-righteousness) vs Gods' timing

Application
- I will trust in the Lord.
- I will trust in His judgment.
- I will trust in His timing.

Prayer
Lord God, I pray to release my pre-misconception of what is right and what is wrong. If it does not brings life, it is pointless. Father , I want to commit my relationships to you. You are the only ONE who can move and turn back those who have fallen away from you. This, I plce my trust in you.

Grace-giver

Accumulative Events:
Ive observed recently there are a few circumstances where I am to be a grace-giver to others' weaknesses. Weaknesses can also be a place of growth. I can give advice and show the way for some but for others, I have to keep them in prayers. All in all, I realised that Ive kept God in the loop and I am very sure that God knows what is happening and He has a plan for each situations.

Listening Points
In regardless of their weaknesses, I'm frequently get clarity to be a grace-giver, to keep loving, to keep hoping and to accept them. My God. Sometimes, one can see it is going to wrong way but perhaps, all individuals need to go through their own journey, to learn to fall and rise up again. To stop them from falling is to stop them from learning. Perhaps, this is indeed a journey of growing and of learning that all needs to learn. In regards on how quick they learn, it really depends on the state of humility and obedience we have in us. It's the heart that matters.

Making Choices
Be a grace-giver
To continue to love and hope in the Lord
To accept one anothers' weaknesses
To trust that God knows what He is doing. :)

Loving you Papa,

Agreeing with your timing

Scripture
45Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" Luke 1:45

Observation
Mary believed in Gabriel, the Angel of the Lord when he came to bring the message that Mary will bear baby Jesus when she is still a virgin. Elizabeth praised Marys' faith in the promises that God gives her.

God has given me a promise. A promise to build the dance ministry. It truly erk me as I don't see it growing as I like it to be but I also believe that God has His plan and all shall be fulfilled in His timing. Even as I type this, I am to "rest" and wait for the opportune time where at the same time, I am to keep trusting that the Lord is still continuing with what He has plan for. I believe He has and will be. I am in a partnership with the Lord. I do not want to be a hindrance to what He has plan.

Application
I will wait upon the Lord. Wait with Him while concentrating with other project that is given to me now. "Office Front Desk/Accounts/Facilities".

At the same time, I will keep those whom I love in prayers.

My question to my Lord
- Is there more that I need to do with?
- A: No, Ive quite a far bit in my hands already. Just be faithful in sowing what I have given you.

Prayer
Lord God, I love you. I will never be able to express my gratitude for you. I'm at peace knowing that you are the Creator of all things. I will surrender my will and come in alignment with yours.

Loving you always,
Doremi

arggh

I just hate it when I'm sick. Grrr....... My left back is still hurting. It makes me want to scream.

I pray that this fever, cough, phlegm, flu, tiredness will simply go away.

Benci nya saya

haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Obedience to our Master

This is the 3rd day I'm in bed. This time, my left back is aching. Hate the feeling of being sick and unproductive. I was unable to sleep last night. My mind was churning so many things. That is crazy. I was thinking of Michael Jackson and I'm the organiser for his show. So, I was preoccupied with organising his slots for his concerts. That was nuts. The whole time, my mind was repeating his name and also the dance steps to accompany with his. Siow.... Yet, at the same time, my logical mind let me know that this is a dream and I MUST stop what I am thinking. I reckon the the ability to stop the mind from working is harder than stopping the physical body. Was turning left and right to sleep but everytime my mind will go back to MJ again. I pray for God to take control of my thoughts. I pray for peace. It works.

I begin to realise that I have turn into a worrier. God knows when this starts. I simply hated this state. Worry about my relationship, my works, this and that and it does not really help. It sort of discolor the truth that truly matters. Sometimes, I'm not sure what is the truth and what is not. Lacking in faith, I see I'm at now.

But, Its good to know that I can run back to God and truly he reveals.

Scripture
12-17Then he said, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You address me as 'Teacher' and 'Master,' and rightly so. That is what I am. So if I, the Master and Teacher, washed your feet, you must now wash each other's feet. I've laid down a pattern for you. What I've done, you do. I'm only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn't give orders to the employer. If you understand what I'm telling you, act like it—and live a blessed life. John 13: 12-17

Observation
This is the moment where Jesus, the teacher washes the feets of all his disciples. He taught that although he is the master, he will still bow down to serve others and the disciples are to do likewise.
But, what Ive gotten from the above is the employee does not give orders to the employer. Shucks.. I was in a dilemma. My heart is to develop the creative arts but my TLB does not recognise it as yet. Bosan. I just feel like throwing the towel and leave. But from the above, it seems that I have to submit to my TLB. God help...


Application
I will obey you, O Lord although my flesh does not want to.. but I will obey you. To put you first..

Prayer
Lord God, I don't know what is going to happen but I will place my trust in you for the above matter. I'm really unsure of TLBs leadership but I know that you have place me under him for a reason. I will choose to obey him and above all, you, My Lord. Give me strength and patience to do so.

Loving u always,
doremi
