This is just amazing. It may b stated as a Valentine's Day Prayer, but I believe more so it should be part of our daily prayer

A Valentine’s Day Prayer

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – I CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 NIV

Lord,Because love is patient…
Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage,remembering your endless patience with me.

Because love is kind…
Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say “Please” and “Thank You” because those little things still mean so much.

Because love does not envy or boast, and it is not proud…
Help me have a heart that is humble and sees the good in others. May I celebrate and appreciate all that I have and all that I am, as well as doing the same for those around me.

Because love is not rude or self-seeking…
Help me to speak words that are easy on the ear and on the heart. When I’m tempted to get wrapped up in my own little world, remind me there’s a great big world out there full of needs and hurts.

Because love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs…
Help me to forgive others as you have forgiven me. When I want to hold onto a grudge, gently help me release it so I can reach out with a hand of love instead.

Because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth…
Help me stand up for what is right and good. May I defend the defenseless, and help the helpless. Show me how I can make a difference.

Because love always protects and always trusts…
Help me to be a refuge for those around me. When the world outside is harsh and cold, may my heart be a place of acceptance and warmth.

Finally, because love always perseveres…
Help my heart continually beat with love for You and others. Thank you for this day when we celebrate love, and for showing us what that word really means. Amen.

Daily Devo

Was doing my devo today and can't help but share this message across.


For the Sake of the Gospel

"I do all this for the sake of the Gospel." 1 Corinthians 9:23

Imagine a sadistic killer in control of an entire superpower. That's how an amoral monster by the name of Nero behaved as the head of the Roman Empire. Needless to say, he was willing to do anything to retain his power. Anything. Therefore, when he found he could improve his sagging popularity by portraying some obscure religious group as a threat to Rome, he pushed it to the hilt. He arrested them. He tortured them. He put them to death in the city arena to amuse the crowds. He even used their bodies as human torches to provide light for his evening dinner parties.

As he did, however, an amazing thing happened. As the citizens of Rome watched these people die, many could not get over how these people met their deaths. They died so bravely. They even sang, praising the One who had died for their sins, who had risen from death, and who would soon take them home to be with Him. As a result, it was during this horrific persecution that many citizens of Rome began learning about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Before a man, who was willing to do anything for the sake of power, these Christians were willing to endure anything for the sake of the Gospel.

If you're a Christian, perhaps it's time to rediscover why the Gospel is worth dying for. If you're not a Christian, perhaps it's time to learn about it yourself.

End of Break

Hm, so fast. My break ends by tomorrow. How I wish I do not have to go back to work. Maybe I should find a rich husband and get married. Haha.... but then again, they usually go for those sexy looking babes.. oh well.. kekek

Currently sick, started with sore throat yesterday and then it's flu. Sianz, but things are better now coz my throat ain't sore anymore... just flu. Phew, thank God. I hate it when my throat is sore, because then you'll feel pain when you drink water and eat.. thank God. Another thing to thank God is that I don't have a fever. Usually when I get sore throat, the whole package will come i.e sore throat, flu, fever and etc. Ergh, that is equivalent to major sickness to me..

Hm there's this ballroom dancing class that's organised in church for the youth to learn for the upcoming valentine ball. Haha, i think heaps of them are excited... man, I feel excited seeing them so exhuberant. Keke... The event would be in a week's time. Man, this is fast! As mentioned, I've yet to get a skirt and a top for the event. Haha.. I can imagine next week to be hectic for me... sigh.. oh well... it should be fun as well! After that would be tiring ... nemind, it's worth it to serve God!!
