Malaysian Christian Writes

Usually you get all those "socially desired" prayers. Prayers that are meant to be said. cliche. One that anyone can memorise and say it. But our God is a personal God. He wants to know your heart. Pray from your heart. Be real. If you are afraid of him knowing what you did wrong newsflash people, he is omniscient. HE KNOWS! Lord, I am on the edge. Truly. I know what the Bible says. I know Be still and know that you are God. I know you have a way. I know you are my comfort. But Lord, I come to you know pouring my heart out to You. I am angry, frustrated, clueless, confused with where I am now. I so need your grace and mercy. Holy Spirit I truly ask that you guide me through. I ask you give me strength. I see you working in other places but that one area that affects my focus most....Father? As trivial as it may sound, look at what it has done? I cannot move forward father, I just can't. Listen to my plea. I feel like crap now. I am honest. I won't hide the emotion ...

Fellow Malaysians, truly this is something unexpected. We knew they were desperate, we just did not know it would go to this extend. Just to make you guys realise what has been achieved. We lost the general elections ( like it, I said we =P), but have reach to many new frontiers. We have truly created awareness among the current generation. We were very much united as one in our decision. The Nation was as strong as ever =). You feel it? =) It shows all the more how we are not to lose hope and continue fighting as hard as ever from now on. Yes I am proud of all the Malaysians who voted. Who truly made the difference. Look around you, you did make a difference. You are well aware of that fact. Just that...you know things happen. Yeap, life is thaaat uncertain huh =). All is said and done on my facebook so yeah I am not going to write some long sob story or anything. This serves merely as a reminder that all hope is not lost. But just gotten stronger. Do not stay in despair. Grieve...

I guess this post is for all the Christians out there. But anyone can read it as well =) My pastor once told me that the Christian life is about being disciples and making disciples.                                    Now, we know that God called us to go forth and preach the Good News. We know what we were called to do. All of us were called to a ministry of reconciliation. But yet again, I would like to ask you. Why do you want to make disciples? aside from the obvious answer. The Bible tells us in 1 Samuel 16:7 " The  Lord  does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance,  but the  Lord  looks at the heart.”  If all we do is focus on our religious activity then of course the Pharisees would have won the first prize for they were pious... on the outside. God sees the heart...so...           ...

I believe in essence I have somewhat blogged about this. Being transparent is coming as you are . The real you. Last year I wrote a post on acting being a daily routine  on how we act in life not being our true selves. Now I will try to share with you why I believe it is essential to be transparent. To be that open book =) Not until you are fully known, you will not be fully loved . Think about it, you can only be loved to the point where you are known. Logic? Well that is why I try to be as honest as I can be about myself. That being said, I too draw a line in disclosing my information. But when you stop pretending, you'll notice that you are more alive, or you come alive =). You do not hide . That sense of freedom I understand there is always the fear of not being accepted, but then, you put on a persona and be someone you are not just to be part of something you think you want to be to please the people you think you want to please. From my experience, true friends will love ...

Oh 2012. Indeed what a year. A year where the end of the world was not significant in my life XP. For me I went through three semesters in a year which actually felt like 3 years. 3 phases. It was a moment of growth for me. Looking back, I know I have changed a lot. I do not regret everything I have been through at the same time I am grateful that by His grace protected me, guided me, with held from me certain things and prevented me from making certain wrong decisions in life. Truly I believe that I am not the same man I was 12 months ago, 9 months ago, 6 months ago 1 month ago. As God continues to reveal His revelations through his word I am constantly amazed at how He works. Through out the year, God has revealed to me slowly the kind of person I am and how much that is still needed to be worked within me. I struggled, I fought and I am reminded of Psalms 46:10 " Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the worl...

The times when I am alone, I pray and be reflective on everything. I had a lot on my mind. Was reading the Bible when this verse came to me. Phllipians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done" (NLT). Being human, easier said. How is it that even though God has affirmed us so many times, we still worry and fail to put our trust in him? Yes the moment we worry we fail to put our trust in him. We are just human. But yes do keep the habit of praying for everything. the moment you worry you just pray. I have no doubt of where God has placed me. And yes, compared to others, I can say I do have a blessed life. But that does not mean my struggles are any less. I am in the phase of God moulding me. So he has to shape me, sometimes break the parts where are deemed not important. I admit, I have never changed so much before from the moment I got into college last year till my degree year no...
