When you tell God that such and such is ur reolution this year, even though u might forget at times, God won't. And he sent people to remind me of that.
This morning Char sms me and said I reminded her of Proverbs 17:22 about having a merry heart.
Well, I thank GOd for that becos it was indeed timely.
I want to be a melody, to be a healing melody that touches people, to cheer them up, to make a difference in their lives.
I know I've done many things that show the contrary in the past but I shall attempt to make it right.
I should really start doing that at home... I should have more patience when I teach Samantha.
I don't know why...I can teach many other students but I have the least patience for my own sisters. I must learn to suppress this impatience and teach her in a move loving way. I guess I was always stuck with the mentality that more scolding and yelling would drill the lessons into her brain becos at least, that was how my mum drilled lessons into my brains :P Sorry mum... haha... But it's good lar. It worked for me becos everyone can see I've turned into a smart woman what.... (bleh! yar right.... still quite sotong....)
Yup so I will learn to be nicer to my sister...
Yesterday's personal devotion was good... though i was really tired from studying.
There are times where we feel so lazy when it comes to doing our personal devotion, and sometimes we just pass them off as struggles that are always there.
Firstly we must get this right: We are not having time with God merely to know more about Him, but it should be because of a love relationship that we have with God that we want to spend time with Him thru His Word and thru talking to Him. Time with God enriches and deepens the relationship with God. The writer of the book used an analogy of spending time with someone you love.... The primary reason is not to find out more about that person, but because you simply enjoy being with her and u love her....or him. haha...
He pointed out one helpful reminder to all those who struggle with doing personal devotion daily.... It's to make the priority in our lives to come to love HIm with all our heart. How true it is..It's the lack of love that we have for God that sends the coldness and lack-of-fervour for Him and His Word.
And this is what I'm going to do....to strive to Love Him.
The devotional guide also suggested putting aside at least 30 minutes to take a walk outside to reflect about our walk with God, and our love for HIm.
So I'm going to make a special date this evening after I jog to talk to God under the stars.....or....the lack-of -stars :(
