Love is Not Proud
Just finished with SOAP (Tims' elaborated Life* 101 version) with the office team. I must say that I was prompted this morning to do SOAP. Little did I know that God has a bigger plan than my thoughts. Thank you God, for preempting me. :)
I was humbled. I was chastised from the discussed we had on Noah (Gen 6:1-8). My gosh, the continuous rebellious nature of the Nephilim (The giants: heroes of old and men of renown). With their stature and status, they used their "power/ability" to oppress the beings around them. To add, the beings around them gave them the attention/abilities to lord over them. The heros think that they can manipulate men to their advantage. They compared themselves with the rest and knew that they are of the great "kind" compare to the rest. They controlled others.
Observation
- I observed that it is truly easy to think that I have it all. That I can do this much better and quicker than my better half. I realise more and more that I have the responsibility in bringing life into my relationship. To compare & categorise are death-bringing to all relationship. Other two are condemnation & cynicism. "Tien ah ie Ohhh Heaven ahhh"
Application
- Repent
- To change the way I think
- To love, to accept JC for who he is, to cherish
- To gratitude what God has given me
- To learn and grow up
Prayer
Father, I thank you for your love and amazing grace. INdeed, your truth has been revealed to me. My eyes to my heart has been open. Thank you for showing my "blind spot". Thank you. No words can express the joy that is in my heart right now. Father, can you bless also open my "eyes" to see the root of my problem.
Loving you always,
Muaks.. muakss

wah seh
my gosh.. perhaps, God has answered my prayers for blog dated on 11th August 2009.
INdeed, God is faithful. :)I'm glad that God is gracious and forever am listening to what I have to say.
Received a call. Am glad that we humble ourselves and forgive one another. Papa, dying to self is "difficult" but not being able to live life as you have for us, is eternal damnation.
Will always love you dearly,
Doreen

IN need of your help! Papaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ANother day! Control yet there is debate. Hrrmmph, Why o why? Why is emotion running wild, madly between us? Are these signs of iron sharpen iron or signs towards the end? I don't know God, only You know. You are the Alpha and the Omega. You are the past, present and the future. You know all things. You see all things. My sights are limited, yours are bountiful. Ive no grace, edgy and lack of patience. I need your saving grace. I need your unconditional and acceptance. I am in need of you graciousness, mercy, guidance, wisdom and help.
I surrender all,
Your daughter.....
Psalm 123
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to you,
to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
till he shows us his mercy.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us,
for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end
of ridicule from the arrogant,
of contempt from the proud.
I surrender all,
Your daughter.....

Love Is...........
So many things had happened for this last 2 weeks. I am not sure why but both of us seem to be bogged down by petty arguments. As a result, faith has been lost.
Yet, what is struggle without forgiveness. What is reconciliation without an active act of letting go of self. From my previous relationship esp with Tunia, forgiveness has taught me to die to self, to see beyond self but to cherish what truly matters. What is the point of maintaining ones own pride and loss all.
Therefore, I want to let go and pursue forgiveness. Love is patient. This is what I am going to follow this week. Love is as follows:
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love is PAtient...

Thank you for your amazing grace
Blaphs... full day of finance, finance and finance.. Been like this for a week. Kinda bored. Can't wait to get my hands into dance once Year End is finish..:) God, wait for me.. :)
Stop to be still and listen to His words. Was listening to Ps JAck, an American Pastor from iTunes, n He asked us to dare to ask God whether there is anything that He would like us to change?
I did. So, I stop and ask. I was led to the following scripture:
Scripture (Luke 10:3)
"Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves." (TNIV)
"On your way! But be careful—this is hazardous work. You're like lambs in a wolf pack." (The Message)
Observation
God has sent forth 72 disciples to all corners of the land. HE appointed and gave them the authority in Christ. They came back with great news that even the evils one trampled under their feet. Jesus rejoiced with them and remind them to rejoice because their names are written in heaven.
I believe God has asked me to go "out" already. He has already open a path for me to walk. I know that in His world, I can be secured and know that my Lord is with me.
Application
I will be stepping out by faith. Out into the world where He wants me to RE-Present Him.
Prayer
Lord God, I pray for doors of opportunities to open right now. I pray for favour from men. Lord, with humility, I said that I can not do this on my own strength and I let go of my controlling behaviour. I want you to take full control of my needs, wants and desires. I trust in you. I'm indebted by you. If it is not because of your grace, I would not be where I am meant to be.
Thank you, Lord for your love and abundance grace.
Loving you always,
You one and only, Doreen

A night to be remembered n God sums it all up the next morning
God is good. As always. Heres' why?
Spent a nite, engulfed with angers, disappointments and arguments with JC. After a long conversation, we both agreed to do quiet time the next day (this morning) and meet up to share. Before he left for the night, he said that he prefers a better communication where I'm more eloquent in my speech and the words that come out from me are convincing rather than him feeling like I'm "teaching" him. I replied back that is exactly what I meant earlier when I needed time to be still and filter my emotion firsthand before coming out clean with him.
After all this mess of tug and war, I still believe in JC. I don't hold any anger but choose to love him more each day. I'm also learning and have millions of weaknesses but JC overcomes them like a prince in a white stallion. At the end of the day, no one likes confrontation, but if this "suffering" brings two souls together through love, forgiveness and deeper understanding of both side, it is worth it. But of course, we have to be smart in choosing our "battle".
The below proves a point that God is INDEED ACTIVELY involve in our relationship. Read on.. :)
-------
Like I said before, God is good. I woke up automatically this morning. Father planted a scripture in my mind as below:
5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. Jams 3:5 (TNIV)
It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. James 3:5 (The Message)
Observation
- The above points exactly to the situation that happened the night before. (Amen!). James mentioned that our tongue, though its small, it has the ability to set a whole forest in fire. Once the word is out of our mouth, it can never be taken back. Once a sword finds it target and pierce through ones' heart, you can never ever mend the scar except through Gods' saving grace.
Application
- The above reminds me that I have to control my tongue. It has the ability to praise yet at the same time, "pierce" through hearts of those whom I love and care. One careless remark can destroy a relationship in a second compare to months of building a strong foundation for a relationship. Is it worth us keeping our seemingly important "pride" and anger? Is it worth us wanting to "win" in an argument? Any wise men will tell you, NO Silly-Billy...:)
Prayer
Lord God, I thank you for your love, grace, mercy, WISDOM and tender care. Yes, I will obey you above all things. I will follow you. I will listen and see in the spiritual realm. Thank you for answering me when I ask of you.
Loving you always,
Doreen C.

The Lost Ones
Scriptures
Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
============
9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' 10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
============
31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "
============
Observation
Jesus shared the parables of the "Lost Sheep", "Lost Coins" and the "Lost Son" with the crowd. Every single time one of this are found/returned, the founder called for celebration. Hence, the famous quote, "Lost and Found again"
What does it means to go to the enemys' camp to take back what belongs to the community? Indeed, many of my brothers and sisters are out there, facing the harsh and cruel reality of the world system. The system that creates unwanted needs, the system that lures them towards the must have "success" and "popularity" in the world. How many of us have fallen into this deceit without realising it?
Is it true that without money we will perish?
Is it true that we have to climb up the corporate ladder to feel powerful and appreciated?
Is it true we have to trample our colleagues just to get to the top?
Is it true that we have to "sacrifice" the growth of our families for the sake of our selfish thirst for achievement?
Is winning in ALL THINGS meant something?
Application
- To pray for my loved ones
- To forgive
- To love unconditionally
- To listen attentively
- To understand and not judge
- To protect
- To celebrate
Prayer
Jesus, Ive gota ask for a BIG FAT HEART for your people. I Sooo cannot do this on my own. So, its up to u now. I'm here for you to use. This vessel is brought at a price of your suffering and I gladly surrender my old self to you. Let the "Doreen" die but let Christ shines through me. Father, Im listening, I want to obey, I want to see, I want to hear, I want to grow, I want to learn. In all things, Father, u know how much I can take in a go. I know that even if I am to fall, I will fall onto your grace. :)

True Love
My goodness, just when I thought that all things are good right after my devotion about "humility" this morning, that is when I'm tested full on today.
My gosh. Truly, one needs to be humble when "attack". Man, for the first time, humility needs to take place to support someone's' weaknesses. My gosh, it is just like a whack across the face. I felt "accused" unjustly. I felt it is "unfair". I felt like Jesus. *only 3%* hehehe..
Anyway, it it enough to make me react in ways I cannot explain. It made me "mad". It made me "cry". But deep within, I am willing to bear the grunt just because I truly care and LOVE them dearly. This love surpasses the "words" and "emotions" they lashed out on me. This love makes me forgives. I cannot describe it but love truly forgets what is done. It surpasses the ugliness of humans' weaknesses. This love makes me wants to pray for them more, to hear their hearts and frustrations.
Indeed, Father, I will forgive. Not because you say so, but because I have embrace a deeper level of love and forgiveness that you have shared with me through your words. Father, I thank you for this golden experiences to love more and forget the ugliness that is in everyone of us. Thank you for your guidance. Thank you for preempting me.
Oh, how I love to shed the tear for my friends. Truly, it hurts to love but it is worth it.
Love,
Doreen C.

Yes... I HAVE LISTEN and will OBEY... :)
Scriptures (Luke 14: The Message)
10-11"When you're invited to dinner, go and sit at the last place. Then when the host comes he may very well say, 'Friend, come up to the front.' That will give the dinner guests something to talk about! What I'm saying is, If you walk around with your nose in the air, you're going to end up flat on your face. But if you're content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself."
===========
33"Simply put, if you're not willing to take what is dearest to you, whether plans or people, and kiss it good-bye, you can't be my disciple.
34"Salt is excellent. But if the salt goes flat, it's useless, good for nothing.
"Are you listening to this? Really listening?"
============
Observation
Jesus is pouring out His Wisdom again. (Love it to the Max)
For the first, Jesus is teaching about humility ie not to exalt oneself than they ought to. I love it when He mentions about "contentment" to be simply yourself, one will become even more than themselves but if they exalt themselves, they will be loosing even more. How true is this. Pride is one level before downfall.==> Humility rules.
Jesus is challenging us about our possible idols in our lives. If I say that I am here for Him, there shall be no other things that will hinder my walk with him. One of my challenges is to learn to let go of relationships. I tend to focus on it too much than I should. I know that this boils down to my insecurities. But, you know, what is there to fear if I know that I am walking closely with God. God is the creator of love, joy, peace. God is my rock. To place my fear in "someone" means that I'm "worshipping" this someone already. (*This is great! I'm beginning to "see" in the spiritual realm). To fear of losing reveals there is a hint of "worshipping" in this area. (*wow).
No wonder Gods' commandment says " You shall worship no other God beside me" / "You shall not make yourself any form of idols". The opportunity cost of idolising a mere humans is my relationship and total dependance in my beloved Father. The opportunity cost of putting my fear in my relationship IS in me doubting Gods' protection and care for my relationships and to say that my need to control is EVEN GREATER than Gods' control. To focus on this relationships mean that I am putting myself and my relationship as GOD versus letting God be my Father who wants the best for me. To focus in this means that I will loose my effectiveness for the very purpose that God has for me (NO way). To place my focus in this means that I will LOOSE MYSELF and be like my IDOL (No freaking way).
Yes, Father.. I AM LISTENING.. :)
Application
= To see others "better" than ourselves. To appreciate others. To love and accept. To be a listener. :)
= Father, I will obey you. I will cast away my "idol".
Prayer
My beloved Father in heaven, yes, I have LISTEN. I am here. This is EXACTLY why I say you are the most precious and wonderful person in my life. Yes, I will obey. There is no freaking way I am going to loose myself for the sake of an "idol". There is no way that I am going to loose YOU for a mere human. Its not the human thats the problem but it is my choices that Ive made. I will obey you. :)
Loving you,
Doremi. :)

To place my fear in "someone" means that I'm "worshipping" this someone already. (*This is great! I'm beginning to "see" in the spiritual realm). To fear of losing reveals there is a hint of "worshipping" in this area. (*wow).
No wonder Gods' commandment says " You shall worship no other God beside me" / "You shall not make yourself any form of idols". The opportunity cost of idolising a mere humans is my relationship and total dependance in my beloved Father. The opportunity cost of putting my fear in my relationship IS in me doubting Gods' protection and care for my relationships and to say that my need to control is EVEN GREATER than Gods' control. To focus on this relationships mean that I am putting myself and my relationship as GOD versus letting God be my Father who wants the best for me. To focus in this means that I will loose my effectiveness for the very purpose that God has for me (NO way). To place my focus in this means that I will LOOSE MYSELF and be like my IDOL (No freaking way).
Yes, Father.. I AM LISTENING.. :)
Application
= To see others "better" than ourselves. To appreciate others. To love and accept. To be a listener. :)
= Father, I will obey you. I will cast away my "idol".
Prayer
My beloved Father in heaven, yes, I have LISTEN. I am here. This is EXACTLY why I say you are the most precious and wonderful person in my life. Yes, I will obey. There is no freaking way I am going to loose myself for the sake of an "idol". There is no way that I am going to loose YOU for a mere human. Its not the human thats the problem but it is my choices that Ive made. I will obey you. :)
Loving you,
Doremi. :)
AWesome Week
This week is going to be an awesome week. I almost see it and can smell all the goodness of our Fathers' love and creation surrounding me.
I want to live each day to the fullest and each challenges will be an "opportunity" for me to learn and grow. To love and to give without getting. :)
Each day is a day I want to praise Him for all the marvelous things that He has given me and preparing me towards.
Each person whom I come to meet is precious in His and my eyes and I for me to give my listening ears to.
Father, I praise you for your amazing work that you are doing here on earth. Whom am I, without you? Where will I be, without your guidance? Father, I pray for focus, I pray for unconditional love, I pray for wisdom. I pray to give without getting. I pray for an attentive ears to listen to others. I pray for joy, for meaning, for purpose. I pray to be STILL and know that you are my LORD. I pray for patience. I pray for obedience. I pray for faith to move the mountains. I pray for hope, peace and love.

Love Love Love Grace Grace Grace Hope Hope Hope
Scripture (The Message)
18-19Then he said, "How can I picture God's kingdom for you? What kind of story can I use? It's like a pine nut that a man plants in his front yard. It grows into a huge pine tree with thick branches, and eagles build nests in it."
20-21He tried again. "How can I picture God's kingdom? It's like yeast that a woman works into enough dough for three loaves of bread—and waits while the dough rises."
22He went on teaching from town to village, village to town, but keeping on a steady course toward Jerusalem.
23-25A bystander said, "Master, will only a few be saved?"
He said, "Whether few or many is none of your business. Put your mind on your life with God. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires your total attention. A lot of you are going to assume that you'll sit down to God's salvation banquet just because you've been hanging around the neighborhood all your lives. Well, one day you're going to be banging on the door, wanting to get in, but you'll find the door locked and the Master saying, 'Sorry, you're not on my guest list.'
31At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, "Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you."
32He replied, "Go tell that fox, 'I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' 33In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Luke 13:18-32
Observation
- Gods' Kingdom leads to multiplication and frootfulness. It ISN'T about mere knowledge but about Faith in Action. Faith without action is DEAD.
- His Works requires CONCENTRATION. FOcus , and not being distracted by looking at what our neighbours are doing right or wrong. Judging is not part of the deal, To judge others is not a my description. I am not call to do that. LEt God be the judge while we continue to sow our land that is given to us.
-Vigorous = (of a person) strong, healthy and full of energy/ (language) forceful
Application
- His Work ==> Our Work => Leads to frootfulness and multiplication
- Requires extreme focus and zealousness n not be distracted by external pettyness
Prayer
Father, I ask for zealousness. I ask for a heart to pray for myself and others. Father, pray to keep loving and accepting things that I cannot change but to trust that you are overseeing every single person here on earth. Father, i pray for focus.. I pray for to persevere, for patience, for purposeful relationship. Father, thank you for your grace.

Beyond myself... :)
Scripture
29-32"What I'm trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself. Luke 12:29-32 (The Message)
Observation
God is teaching us to trust in Him as the sole provider of all needs. He is showing us to cast our fears and worries onto Him. There is no place for fear of this and that. This is what the world does but we, as the children of God is to live in assurance of our identity as His heir.
My concern is always about building a relationship with JC that brings glory to God. In retrospect, I'm always placed in a relationship where there is much needed "work" to be done. I do not understand. Perhaps, this is His way of telling me that this is what its meant to be. To love and support each others' weaknesses. To continue to trust in God and concentrate in Gods' giving instead of me "grabbing" from my partner. Perhaps, Father wants me to place my trust and security in Him rather my all in a human. (* I'm beginning to see & understand*). Perhaps, this is the "growth" that Father knows will do me good and be more and more like Him.
I do know my prayers are to be more like Him. Papa is compassionate, forever giving and loving. He will always believe in me and support me. He cherishes me and spurs me to the very purpose I'm built for. Father is patient, full of grace and mercy. Fathers' love never fails. Jesus comes with His presence. The presence of Holiness, of wholeness, of love, joy, grace, mercy, of trust. Father is secure enough not to react to "darkness" but to overcome darkness through forgiveness, the act of giving beforehand ie before a person even deserves it. Father is in the process of bringing the lost and hopeless to the light, to purposeful life. Father accepts where we are at, supports, and growth us. Father convicts us. Father reminds us. Father challenges us.
Application
I will focus in giving than in getting.
To accept, to forgive, to love, to cherish, to appreciate, to partner, to challenge.
Prayer
Father, thank you for this listening point. Indeed, it is not what I want but what your intention is for my relationships. Indeed, Father, use me as a vessel so that your name will be glorified and lifted up high. Indeed, I want to reveal "YOU" through me to the relationships around me. Truly Father, I'm bought at a price and I belong to you. Your mark is in my heart. Yes father, I want to build treasure in heaven, ie to invest into someone life rather than my own. To believe in them, just like you do in me. :) Father, I desire for more of you, your unconditional love, patience, joy and hope. Give me strength when I'm weak. Give me hope when I'm cannot see hope. Give me eyes of faith to see beyond petty stuffs. Give me a heart to see all things. Give me this desire. Your desire. I want to be like Mary, who waits upon you and soak every bits of wisdom that comes out from you. I desire this. :)
Loving you always,
Your dear dear

I have the AUTHORITY to trample over "nothingness" and to draw from the source of truth
Scriptures (Luke 10)
19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
22"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
23Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."
----------------------------
41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Observation
The disciples are give the AUTHORITY from Jesus to OVERCOME all power of the darkness and be the light and salt to a world that is full of darkness. Their names are written in heaven. To those who believes in Jesus, they sees Father as well. God has revealed things of heaven to those who trust and believe in the Lord with a humble, broken & contrite and has child-like faith.
On another end, by looking at Martha, she reminds me of myself. Always consumed with worries and fears of the world. I did not realise that it is indeed the devils' scheme to "distract" me from my course. Ive forgotten that I already come with the authority given my Jesus. Jesus also says that nothing will harm me. Fear cripples, Love FREE.
The only way to be free is to choose what is BETTER, to choose to sit upon Jesus' feet and absorb all his teachings. To obey. To know that I have the authority to cast out idiotic lies.
I believe Father is telling me to dispose the lies. To choose to listen to Him instead of the lies. To be wise to choose which source of truth am I getting from.
Father wants me to know my identity as his child, the authority that I have in Him.
Application
- I have the power and authority given by Christ to dispose the lies
- The truth is with me and I do see, hear, feel and obey
- I want to return to the source of truth and be in the truth
- I want to be FREE and be hopeful
- My faith is renewed
Prayer
Lord God, I trust in you. Thank you liberating me. Thank you for setting right what is meant to be. Yes, I have the authority from you. To trample the power of darkness and to know that I AM PROTECTED by you. FAther, I will choose to listen to your words of truth instead of the lies. Father, I will believe in you. I choose to believe in you. I AM your CHILD and I hold the authority to trample "nothingness". Yes fAther, I will choose you to obey you and to trust in your truth.
Loving you always,
Doremi
Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV)
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:4-8 (The Message)
4-5Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!
6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
8-9Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Clearing the "WEEDS"
Scripture
Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God. Luke 9:62, NIV
62Jesus said, "No procrastination. No backward looks. You can't put God's kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day." The Msg
Observation
Jesus gave us a warning. To us who wants to follow Him, we must first seek His ways above all else, even to the point of letting go what our hearts desire. We thought that we need to take care of our own needs and wants, and ONLY then, follow HIM but Jesus said its NOW or NEVER.
Following Christ does not means comfortable lifestyle. It means letting go of even concentrating on meeting our own needs, relationships, family matters, financial comfort... etc.
What I see is that to us who have started this journey of following God, we can not turn back. A soldier who has signed up for war must persist on during the war instead of running back to his base camp.
Just like a skier who has started down the mountain must finish the run all the way towards the base of the mountain. There is no turning back.
Application
What have I been concentrating on lately?
- Maintaining my relationship
What do I have to let go?
- Doing this 24/7
What do I have to do?
- I need my time to pray, to plan, to look forward to the "work" that He has for me.
- Area of focus: Dance / Finance / Arts
Prayer
Lord God, thank you for this kind reminder. Yes, what we have started together, let me NOT deviate and go off tangent. Father, I pray for a focusing heart. A heart that yearns to PLEASE you only. Let all other things take care of itself. First and foremost, I want to follow u. I want to seek your heartbeat all day. I want to obey you even in the smallest things. Yes, Father, may I begin to clear and cleanse my weaknesses, not by my own might but by your spirit. Papa, help me, I want to grow up, I want to run this race.
Above all, thank you for showing me the "weeds" that I need to clear from this land that you have given me. AMEN!
Loving you always,
Doreen C.
