Remembering all that Jesus did...

As Good Friday draws nearer, I look at the people around me... The world where I seem so out of place... Sometimes I wonder, is there something more to the existence of these very people who say there isn't a God... I wonder what they see in life... They appear to be happy with their simple existence, yet I see the angst and resentment in their existence... They seem to know where they stand in society, so assured of their own existence as just nothingness... But I see them so lost in their existence that they know not where to look to... Yet as I try to reach out to them, their defense mechanisms are on full gear... They resort to using their crude humour to make fun of the very one true God I believe in... As I try to show them the light of truth, they run so far away and hide in their own little shell... They reject every word spoken that is true, some of these very people even have the knowledge of the truth, yet they chose to reject everything that God has done... I simply do not understand why they chose the path of destruction and not the path of abundance...


Dear God.... I have a question... Why have You allowed Your children to stray away? So far away from You O Lord... Lord I know You gave us free will... But Father see them... See their helplessness and save them O God... Bring Your children back to You... Help them return to the cross dear Father... Turn Your children's eyes back unto You O God... I know Lord it pains You to see Your creation turn their backs on You, but Father don't turn Your back on us God... What would we be if You turned away from us... Is it not better that we were then never created... Lord You created us to praise and exalt Your name... to honour and worship You O God... Turn our hearts back unto You God, lead us back to the cross once more, especially on the day of rememberance of the work that You did on the cross nearly 2000 years ago... The pain You suffer Jesus, let it not go to waste, but Lord send a revival unto Singapore... that we will be Your antioch of Asia... Father come and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven Lord... Amen


Working on a project now... We are on the topic of LIFE and I see how lost my fellow classmates are... How much they need God... Sometimes I wonder if that is the reason why I am in this course, yet as light and salt in this world it is often a tough job... I often think... How nice would it be if these people hear and commit their lives to Jesus... But as I pray and as I work with them, I just hope that their hearts will be soften... I think it's gonna be a tough road ahead, but I shall just persevere on and not be shaken in my faith... When the going gets tough, I shall just remember to turn my eyes upon God and remember the things He did on the cross for me...
