Congratulations to Sean, Nicholas and Elissa!!

May you continue to walk in the path of the Lord!

God bless!!!

I went to the Lord’s Clinic to have my routine check-up and I confirmed I was ill:

When Jesus took my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness.

When He read my temperature, the thermometer
registered 40º of anxiety

He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several “love bypasses” since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.

I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother’s side and I could not hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when tripping with envy.

He also found I was shortsighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters.

When I complained about deafness, the diagnostic was that I had stopped listening to Jesus’ voice talking to me on a daily basis.

For all of that, Jesus gave me a free consultation thanks to His mercy – so my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies He prescribed through His words of truth:

Every morning,
take a full glass of gratitude
When getting to work,
take one spoon of peace
Every hour,
take one pill of patience, one cup of brotherhood and one glass of humility
When getting home,
take one dose of love
When getting to bed,
Take two caplets of clear conscience

Do not give in into sadness or desperation for what you are going through today.
God knows how you feel......
God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.
God’s purpose for you is simply perfect.
He wants to show you things that only you can understand by living what you are living, and by being in the place you are now.

May God give you... For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer.

According to tradition, King Solomon aka the wisest man in all of history wrote the book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes offers a philosophy of life — and shows how God fits into it. The Hebrews used it as a book of instruction; it showed them how to find spiritual significance in a life that would otherwise be meaningless. However, further study of this book must be understood within the context of the whole book and, ultimately the whole Bible. Let's take a sneak peak at the surprise ending......

"Now all has been heard;
Here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring into
judgement,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil."

Either way, the doctrine of the Old Testament is summarised in a few short phrases. The reader is urged 1) to have a right relationship with God [fear God]; 2) to maintain the relationship by following the law [keep his commandments]; and 3) to anticipate a final and future judgment [God will bring every deed into judgment]. For that is Man's all. That's all we really need to do.

“We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.”

"The very best proof of your love for the Lord is obedience. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else"

A Humbling Experience

Hello everyone, welcome back to youth fusion weblog. Its been awhile since i've added an entry, so here's an account of my recent encounters with God's gentle rebuke during my QT and from conversations i've had with godly leaders above me. Quite a humbling experience for me cuz i tend to have many opinions on a wide spectrum of topics, and am ever so eager to justify those opinions whenever given a chance, even for those that i hardly understand.

It's taken from Matthew 12:33~37. Jesus said:

"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

And also...out of my mouth i sing praise to God, and before you can say 'Nebuchanezzar', I'll most probably have said something to irritate someone, judge someone else, gossip or take offense easily and curse someone, especially on a tiny mrt cabin packed with inconsiderate commuters. I believe it is quite serious to neglect the discipline of guarding our tongues and just speak our mind without hesitation, because words have a huge potential either to encourage or to hurt. How den can we live a life above reproach? How den can we be salt and light to this dark dark world we live in? Thank God that He's forever faithful and patient, and yet so loving that He will not allow us to remain in our foolishness. And i am humbled once again.
