If I Died Tonight, Where Would I Be?

I had a dream on the morning of 24th November 2013 (Sunday).

The dream began with me in a condominium, staying in my room somewhere.

A friend of mine Melissa Deng called me from overseas,

and we spoke for a really long time as she said she was there with her boyfriend.

Suddenly I saw opposite of me in the neighboring apartment,

there was a lot of people gathered.

And I saw a lot of cats and rats in their room,

they were all lining up as if they were waiting for something.

I decided to climb over into that apartment to find out what's going on,

at the same time constantly keeping on the phone with Melissa.

The moment I entered their apartment,

something scared all the cats and rats and they all ran away.

I woke up, not knowing what that meant,

I decided to just close my eyes for a few more minutes.

I woke up at 10am, and decided to sleep for a few more minutes.

All these occurred within the time until 10:39am.
Within seconds, the second dream occurred.

Here is the following of what happened in my second dream:

My older brother Daniel decided to fetch me to go somewhere.

We were driving along a really long road,

and ahead of me I thought I saw 4 rainbows,

but as we went nearer it was actually 4 cranes.

Soon I saw a bigger rainbow behind them.

Then we went up this hill road next to the ocean,

and I saw trees and seas and clouds that formed the wings and shape of Jesus,

then as we continue to drive upwards I saw the trees and clouds

they formed the shape of a lot of white horses riding on the ocean,

there were white riders riding on the horses.

Then after a while I saw dead logs floating in the sea,

and I saw there was fire on the grass by the side of the road we were driving.

As we reached the end of our destination, we got down the car.

My brother Daniel went close to a bush,

and was suddenly bitten by a poisonous snake.

He transformed into a turtle and was dying.

My mother suddenly appeared and she asked me to take a sharp stick,

I took a sharp stick and gave it to her.

She cut open his turtle shell and saw all the poison,

water and blood gushing out from his neck as he was bitten there.

She shook her head as there is no hope.

My brother requested for something, so I took for him a sharp object,

and he used that sharp object to kill himself.

I instantly woke up with a very strong fear in me.

I knew in my heart that he wasn't saved.

At the same time, I myself also will not be saved if I die now

and was accountable to God through all my actions I have done on earth.

I woke up feeling afraid and also it opened my eyes.

Therefore here is my question not only to me,

but to everyone who will ever read this:

If you died tonight, where would you be

Where would your soul spend eternity?

Whom Shall We Fear?

Whom Shall We Fear?

We know who goes before us,

We know who stands behind,

The God of angel armies,

Is always by our side!

Whom shall we fear?

In this fallen world that we live in,

There will troubles ahead of us in this life.
Some of us will struggle even as we strive for righteousness.
But when we do face challenges in our lives, always remember:
Instead of telling God how big our problems are;
Tell our problems how big our God is!

One of the most amazing thing that struck me,

Is just how patient God is with us.

He has been so patient with each and every one of us including me.

That no matter how many times I fall,

He will always pick me up again.

And when He picks me up, I'm much stronger than before.
No matter how far I've gone, no matter how much I try to put Him away,
He's always here in my heart, knocking on my door.

I am inspired to write this post today,
Because something happened to me yesterday night.
A supernatural event that filled me with the Holy Spirit.
My hair was standing and I was feeling the chills on my entire body.

It began as I was speaking to an amazing woman of God.
Other than getting to know more about her,
My mission was to impact, encourage, inspire and motivate her closer to God.
And while doing so, she also began to impact, encourage, inspire and motivate me.
She sent me a few Christian songs that has touched her life,
And as I began to listen.
So did tears began to fill my eyes.
I began crying, and just couldn't stop.
The songs were talking about His grace for us, and what a Savior He is!
That we need to live no more in shame, but in His love.
I recognize that there are certain dark patches in my life,
And until I get things right with Him, it will hinder my relationship with Him.

So on the 16th September 2013 (Monday),
I have decided with a heart full of conviction to pursue Him wholeheartedly.
And here I am on the next day writing this.
That our God, is a great God!
I have written a lot of things over the past years,
But the more I write about Him, the more I'm learning about Him!
As I'm walking with Him,
I'm learning what His grace really means to me.

If you know that you are far away from Him,
I encourage you to come back to Him.
His arms are open wide,
And He is waiting for you until you make that decision.

We do not need to worry about what's coming our way,
Because there's one thing we should know:
He crush our enemies underneath our feet,
He is our Sword and Shield, though troubles linger still

The God of angel armies,

Is always by our side!

Whom shall we fear?

"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?"
[Psalm 27:1]

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
[Psalm 23:4]

Let us choose this day, to serve Him with all our hearts (:

- As for me and my house, we will always serve the Lord -

Last 2 Fridays on the 10th of May 2013,

I experienced yet another near-death experience.

It was a very hot afternoon and I was on my bicycle

making my way back to my office in a residential area right after lunch.

Ahead of me was a right turn, but I had no vision of the other side of the turn.

Without hesitation, I cycled at an average speed and turned right.

Within a glimpse of an eye I see a car speeding directly at my way.

It was moving so quickly that my body froze for a few seconds.

There was only one thing that was going through my mind:

"I'm dead."

Based on both our speed, there was no way I would survive.
Turning right would result in me hitting a car,
And turning left would result in me getting hit by the car sideways.

It was a definite collision and I should be flying sky high with my bike.

But miraculously, he stepped on his brake pedal hard and so did I.

We stopped right on the dot and had a head-to-head collision.

I held on to my bike tightly with my hands as it jumped a little on impact.

My heart was beating so fast I couldn't even say a word.

The driver came down, touched his car, swore at me and drove away.

I didn't respond to him, but just try to get my mind around what just happened.

My bicycle chain was all tangled up and I had to bring it to the workshop.

At the end of the day, a friend of mine fetched me home with my bike in the car.

After a few days, I got over it.

It was just a normal mini-accident where I didn't get hurt.

On the following Sunday, I attended a basketball court to record videos.

When the game was over, I had a conversation with one of the players.

After sharing with him my incident about the accident,
He wanted to know more about me.

So I also shared with him my past near-death experiences that I have gone through.

After listening to my stories, he looked really surprised.

He told me I must have a purpose here in life;

That if I were to survive so many times in life, that's not normal.

People who gone through one near-death experience change a lot.

So I thought hard about my major past experiences:

I was the victim of a robbery,

I went through an operation consciously and awake with no pain-killers,

I almost got hit by a truck on the road once,

And now the bicycle incident that almost costed me my life.

I was sure and concluded: that if my life didn't go away just yet;

God must be holding me and telling me through all these experiences:

That He has something great stored for me in my upcoming future!

I know that regardless of what comes my way,
I can walk ahead confidently; Because He's got my back.

So let this be an encouragement for you:

"To appreciate, cherish and treasure every moment of your life"

And always hold on to God (:

- We all have a purpose in life -

Faith

I believe faith is the key to many things, even despite circumstances.

Having faith doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have the road map.

It just means that you're trusting and believing without knowing.

To have faith in God, is to trust Him without knowing what's coming your way.

"By faith Abraham,

when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,

obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."

[Hebrews 11:8]

Abraham had no idea where he was heading,

But he had faith that God would guide Him to the right place.

All God told Him was just that He will provide a nation for Him.

And with no road map, Abraham took that step of faith.

Sometimes having faith can be the most difficult thing.

Because it requires us to go beyond the natural things.

Remember the part where Abraham was called to sacrifice Isaac?

He obeyed because even though he may not understand God's plans,

He knows that he can always trust God.

But thankfully God stopped Abraham and saved his son in the nick of time.

Often at times when we take that step of faith,

Troubles and circumstances always seem to drown us so quickly.

But it is at these times where we should remind ourselves:

These are just tests of faith.

And with great faith, comes great doubts.

All the men of great faith in the Bible stumbled and doubted countless of times.

But they held on to His Word and managed to strive through the doubts.

Always remember that failure is not the end of the world.

Failure means you have learnt something,

And you have the chance to start all over again.

Failure doesn't mean that God has abandoned you;

It just means that God has a better idea for you (:

The Holy Experience

I would like to share my mini experience and some things that I've learned.

"The Holy Experience" is the camp hosted by the CBC Subang that I recently went!

It was a camp where many of my perspectives were put into place;

And a change was brought to my heart as well.

I don't know many people from CBC Subang, only a handful of people.

But not knowing that many people brought joy to my heart.

Why? Cause there were so many new people I could have conversations with.

There was so many new things I could learn from other people!

And at the same time, I'm given to opportunity to inspire people too!

It was really a fun camp as we all traveled to Fraser's Hill in a bus.

As we reached the campsite, we were put into 5 groups.

And within each group a captain was appointed.

By God's grace, I became the captain of my team and there began our journey!

Our group was named the "Low-Fat Wallflower"

(Woaaahhh what a great name!)

We hustled through games, exercises, sessions and devotions.

We trusted and worked with each other as we created our group chant and sketch!

By the end of the camp, we managed to achieve 3rd place.

But the most important thing is this:

We already won as a team in our hearts,

For we placed our trust in each other and worked together as a team!

On the way back in the bus, I shared my lung operation story.

It was amazing how it was able to inspire and encourage many people!

And it served as a reminder for me that God is with me!

The main purpose of me going to the camp was actually to have a God-encounter.

To hear what He has to say to me through the camp.

And true enough, He spoke to me and changed my perspectives.

Out of all the things that God spoke to me, 2 of them stood out the most:

Firstly,

Finding a partner with the right heart and values is very important.

Because as you embark on your adventure through your journey of life,

You'll find that your partner and you will rely on each other a lot.

Our speaker Reverend Koe spoke and shared about one of his experience.

Many many years ago, he and his girlfriend (Wife now) was in Singapore.

They were ready to depart to New Zealand,

When suddenly they lost all their important documents.

And just as Reverend Koe was about to take the easy way out,

To go back Malaysia and not go New Zealand,

His girlfriend hit him on his head and said,

"You of little faith! This is just a test for us!"

And true enough, a phone rang days later.

They managed to retrieve all the important documents back.

This story speaks loudly to me because it shows the values of the partner.

That when you are with a person who has the right heart and values,

He/she will be able to encourage you to pull through when you can't.

Therefore selecting your partner is a matter of wisdom.

Secondly,

The 90/10 principle. What does it mean?

We have no control over 10% of what happens to us in life,

But 90% of the rest are determined by our reaction towards it.

If someone accidentally spilled some milk onto my shirt,

I could either get really mad and bombard that person with critical words,

And give myself unnecessary stress at the same time which I don't need.

Or I could just forgive and remind that person to be more careful.

In every situation that we are faced,

How we react to it will determine how good or bad our day will be.

It's all in the mind, and there's always a battle going on in there!

The main theme verse of the camp is Jeremiah 29:13-14.
But I believe verse 11 and 12 is equally important.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
[Jeremiah 29:11-13]

A Breath Of Fresh Air

Hi there! Planet earth! Do you need a breath of fresh air?

Well, I've got just the perfect breath of fresh air for you!

But before that, I would like to share with you why I'm doing so (:

Let me begin:

God is good, and yes that's true.

His timing is always perfect, and He knows what he does.

Sometimes when you're at a crossroad, or circumstance in life;

God would give you rest, assurance and peace at the right time.

Sometimes it comes in a form of the Word, a gift, through time, or even a person.

For me at the current moment, it was through a person.

A person who has so much similar interests, passion and heart as mine.

A person that loves God and acknowledges how much God loves her too.

And a person that is pretty cool with my lil' brother!

That, is a rare find -> At least to me.

There are so many of her values that I admire,

And how I would spend more time knowing her.

As I fellowship with her, she tells me how I have encouraged her.

But what I didn't tell her, was how she encouraged me more than I did!

The moment she explained to me that God brought her out of her emotions,

That He rescued her and led her back to Him.

That He has become her number one priority in life,

And nothing nor any person could take His place.

And how she has learned from her past mistakes,

And is ready to conquer the next mountain in her life.

I almost cried and teared up because it was so amazing to hear her story.

It reminded me so much of many of my battles that God has delivered me from.

That through all my sorrows, struggles, mistakes and failures:

God never ceased to pull me back to Him.

Just as we shared our stories with each other,

both our stories merged and it is here I find:

How He captivated our broken hearts and showed us the depth of His love.

How He transformed our minds, and aligned every of our thoughts with His.

How He brought us from darkness to life.

And now for the both of us: We've found our purpose in life: To glorify God.

And we know that God is looking out for us!

At least we now know: We both exist!

And that: God's name was lifted high!

Therefore here's my shout-out to everyone in this galaxy:

God has created you for a purpose.

And to each and every one of us, He made each of us unique.

So let us take what He has given us, all the skills, gifts and talents;

To continue to impact and encourage the world!

And while doing so, we learn to show love and make time for the people around us!

Sometimes God brings certain people into your life at different points of your life,

Some to encourage you, some to speak with you,

Some to teach you and some to listen to you.

And a handful to spend a lifetime with you!

This life we have, has value, meaning and purpose.

This life that we have, is worth living!

See,

I'm just like you - If you cut me, I will bleed.

I'll go hungry - If I don't have food to eat

We're not that different at all hey!

So let's step up and make our lives count!

To make it count: For Him!

God knows when your soul feels tired and weary,

When everything seems to be mundane and spinning in a circle.

God knows your heart's desires,

And all the silent prayers and tears you call out to Him when nobody is looking.

And it is here today that God wants you to know,

That He is still with you and will continue to guide you.

At every moment of your life, He will provide the right thing at the right time.

He, is the Breath of fresh air that I'm talking about.

The One that gives you amazing joy and peace.

The One that always wipe away all your tears and fight away all of your fears.

That in the midst of all your scars, hurt, pain and emotional prisons that you're in,

Always remember:

You're still alive, even though a part of you has died,

He  promises to take your heart, and bring it back to life!

No matter what we're in,

While we're in the middle of it,

We're gonna keep praising Him!

Because God is on our side, at all times!

And for that, we can march ahead with confidence and assurance at all times!

Press on hey (:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
[Matthew 11:28-30]

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”
[Jeremiah 31:25]

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

[Proverbs 3:5-6]

- You're still alive, even though a part of you has died -

- He, is the Breath of fresh air that you need -

God Provides

Just yesterday: Christmas Day, I woke up in the morning ready to battle the new day.

Walking around my kitchen I realized that I have nothing to eat.

And with nothing to eat (With my ultra hungry tummy),

I decided that my main mission is to find something to eat at the shops nearby.

After traveling to many shop and restaurants around my house,

and a moderate proximity from my house,

I came to find out that NOTHING IS OPEN at all.

Even KFC and Subway are closed!

I hesitated a little,

finding out that even the vending machine that sells instant noodles is being locked up

(Even the vending machine is on Christmas holiday mode oh great!)

With literally nothing to munch on,

I looked up in the sky and thought perhaps this could be the end of the world......

for my tummy... at least for one day!

And in my own little mind,

I even whispered to God:

"Where is: God Provides, cause I'm hungry and I have nothing to eat."

I then decided to call up a friend and ask if he was at home,

and has any food to help this starving young man.

Much to my surprise, he was at home.

He instantly welcomed me over to his living quarters.

The moment I entered the interior side of his house,

he was already cooking with a friend a meal:

Spaghetti with unique sauce

(Just because I don't know what sauce it is, we'll stick with Unique Sauce).

They were cooking the spaghetti for a portion of 2 people only.

My eyes begin to look around for my food,

to see if he has anything for me as he said he did.

But, they took the portion of 2 people, and divided it among 3 people including me.

I looked at them and couldn't really understand why they were so hospitable to me,

and why they would make their small meal a smaller meal just to feed me.

Even though it was very small, it managed to calm my starving thundering tummy.

I thought, "Okay, after thanking them for making lunch for me,

I probably shouldn't disturb them for my dinner.

 I'll just find something somewhere somehow for my dinner."

But miraculously they invited me over to another house for dinner.

And they cooked for me.

It was the largest meal I ever had in Australia,

so huge that the guy even offered me more food,

and he told me I only had so little (Which was a lot!)

My tummy became pregnant-like due to the overload of food and I was so full!

I went home, lied down on my bed and tears begin streaming my down my eyes.

I said to God silently: "God really provides."

And this is a constant reminder not just to me but everyone who will ever read this,

that God will always provide.

He always give us what He knows we need,

and He will never forsake us

 That if He can provide me with food that I can't find,

how much more should I trust Him?

God has always been, still is and will always be good to us.

And it breaks my heart to know that we as humans,

have failed Him over and over and over again,

yet He still forgave us and draw out His hand to catch us whenever we fall.

That we can never understand such love and compassion He has shown us.

It is with great pain and sacrifice that He showed us the Truth,

therefore let us honor it with all our hearts in faith, hope and love.

And always remember: God Provides :)

Give Thanks

- GIVE THANKS -

How wonderful is God?
He is wonderful beyond measure.

God has been good to me even in my dry and darkest seasons in life.
Regardless of what I go through, He never lets my hand go.
He has always been, still is and will always guide me to His right path.
Thinking about how blessed I am with what I have in my life, it just make me cry;
because He gives me His amazing love even though I'm not perfect.
He loves me -> For who I am and for who I am created for -> Him.

There is nothing else that I can do to make Him love me more;
because He already loves me for the imperfectness that I am.
And His grace extends beyond the highest mountains and the deepest valleys.
What can compare to such Amazing Love?

He calms the storms in my life and gives me wisdom through the tough seasons.

Together with a team, I joined a competition "48 Hour Melbourne Film Project".
My team and I had to compete with 48 other film teams
(Which consists of professionals)
I was the audio recordist as well as the sound designer.
I went for the Film Screening yesterday night, and it was heart-thumping.
There were 16 other films which were solid films, and it was a very tough competition.
Being there with every other filmmakers makes me really nervous.
I expected to leave the competition empty-handed and just be there for the experience.
But much to our surprise, the emcee announced my group as one of the finalist.
I was bubbling out with joy, but thought perhaps we wouldn't win anything.

Tonight (A few hours ago), I went to the Awards Ceremony with the Top 12 Finalists.
The night began with the Top 12 Final Films being played in the cinema.
After the screening, the emcee began announcing the teams that won each awards.
There were many Awards like Best Actor, Best Editing, Best Director and so forth.
And then it came to the Best Sound Design.
The moment the emcee said, "And the Best Sound Design goes to...", I was expecting him to say a Western or European name like "... Tommy!" or "... Bryan!" or even "... James!"
But then, he said, "... The best sound design goes to... this guy who knows how to make thriller and suspense in a film, he is... Yong Zhen Kheng."
At that moment, I dropped something... Yes, it was my jaw.
I went up ahead and took the award and gave a not-so-prepared-cause-I-was-still-shocked speech.

After receiving the award (All the way until now), I felt that I didn't deserve it.
I know that other films had better sound designs compared to mine, but yet I won?
I couldn't quite get a grasp on why I won the award.
But on the way back home, I realized something.
"God planned the entire thing that I may not be too proud because of what I have done, but to be humbled because He has blessed me with this award and provided me with such a great team."
It was all because of Him, that I was even there in the first place.
And it just brings me to tears because God is so good to me.
Even in the down parts of my life, He never fails to lift me up in His grace.

Therefore if you ask me:
How wonderful is God?
He is wonderful beyond measure.

"GIVE THANKS in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
[1 Thessalonians 5:18]

- For everything He has done in our lives, let us GIVE THANKS :) -

Bought At A Price

"All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own."

[Isaiah 53:6]

Every single one of us, men and women alike, old and young.

Have all strayed away and followed our ways to build our own kingdom in this world.

We have all tried tirelessly to build our pride, fame, glory and all this world can offer us.

And we have all forgotten about the perfect sacrifice made for us 2000 years ago.

Men have disembarked their journey of faith and live in guilt, pain, regrets, suffering.

Many raised idols in their heart and worship the things of this very world.

Some continue to live in agonizing defeat, dwelling in past mistakes.

And some, never hear the truth about the perfect sacrifice,
The perfect sacrifice that has already laid its foundation for them.

Many, have embarked on a mission to fulfill their own self desires.

And some, are blinded by the lies of men which binds them from the truth they seek.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

[Romans 3:23]

"The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken."

[Genesis 3:22-23]

And men, was separated from God.

Our sinful desires has consumed us, and we began to live for our own mortality.

Years and years passed with more and more people living hopelessly.

Their eyes are open, but they never see.

Their hears are attentive, but they never hear.

The world that God originally created for all mankind, crushed at His very own eyes.

Men became evil, men became impure, men became selfish.

And just at the very moment when God was about to wipe out all of mankind,
His tears fell to the earth.

His never ending love, gave us mercy, grace and compassion.

He decides to save us once again, to restore us to Him regardless of how evil we are.

God, sent Christ for us.

The Perfect Sacrifice that laid its foundation for all of mankind.

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

[Romans 5:8]

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

[John 3:16]

Why do God loves us so much?

So much that He is willing to sacrifice His Son for all of mankind?

We deserved none of it, and deserved no part in His kingdom.

We were all heading to our destruction, perishing a little by little with every step.

But God's love - Is beyond our comprehension.

He loves us so much, that He will do everything He can in His power to save us.

And with all the darkness, evil, corruptness, and impurity we have in our heart,

Christ made His journey to our world.
He carried the weight of the world on His shoulder.

Tempered with iron nails on the cross, and a crown of thorns on His head,
 God's tears fell onto the earth again as He watched His Son die for us.

And when Christ was raised to life.

It was done.

Everything that was lost, has now been restored.

There was no way, but God made a way.

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."

[Luke 15:20]

It is with great pain and sacrifice, that all these were done for us.

God laid the foundation of salvation for the entire world.

That who now believes in Him, will be saved.

"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

[Romans 10:9]

Now our mission is to persevere towards the coming home.

That means since God has saved us, we have to live pursuing Him.

For all that He has done, all He asks of us is to come back to Him.

And it is our call of duty to repent, and stop living in our own darkness.

Because if we continue to live in darkness, we will die in our own flesh.

"Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

[Revelation 3:16]

God sees your heart.

He sees every thing you do behind closed doors and in the open.

He sees the motives you carry out with every schemes you make.

And He is here today, to tell you that He cares for you.

No matter what you've done in the past, He will restore.

No matter how weary your soul is, He will sustain.

But you need to repent, and make that decision to pursue Him.

You may struggle, you may make mistakes, and you may stumble often at times.

But what Christ did on the cross 2000 years ago,

It is enough to save you from all your sins and all the sins you will ever commit.

And all He asks of you is to honor Him with your life and love Him with all your heart.

He has chosen you to be a light to the world for Him.

Lifted out of the ashes, you have been found in the aftermath of His grace and mercy.

Perhaps it's time to step up for God this very moment.

Because you know that He's with you every step of the way.

And His love will light the way for you.

So persevere and wait for the coming home, and do not be caught off guard.

Let us stand in the foundation of Truth and lift one another up.

And let us go beyond religion and the call of duty to live a true, pure and selfless life.

"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

[Revelation 16:15]

"You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
[1 Corinthians 6:20]

- Lifted out of the ashes, we are found in the aftermath -

God Is Good

- GOD IS GOOD -

When things don't work out,

When there is no rain in the drought,

When your plans falls apart when you never dream they would,

When your life doesn't go the way you thought it should,

When all you can do is breathe and cry,

And when there doesn't seem any hope anymore for you to try,

It's okay.

Sometimes it's because: God is GOOD.

I've learned from all my past disappointments and broken dreams,

That God in all His love and mercy is looking out for me.

The King of kings, the Lord of lords knows what you're going through.

He knows exactly what you're feeling every second of the day,

He knows what your heart is weighed and concerned about,

Every single circumstances, situations and struggles that you are facing,

God is still with you and He is always watching over you.

The promises He has spoken to you,

He will be faithful in keeping His promises.

Instead of putting God's timing into your own timing,

How about giving God your steering wheel and trust Him?

Sometimes waiting upon God to fulfill His promise,

Is like waiting for a train at a bus station.

Sure, there will be times where you'll be desperate,

There will be times where you'll feel broken,

Or even at times you won't have the strength to stand and wait anymore.

But remember: When you cannot stand, you can fall on Him.

For He will never leave you nor forsake you.

God is always with you.

His ways are higher than all our ways.

When we ask God for things,

He always gives us what is best instead of merely what is better.

And God wants you to commit every single plans and agendas you have to Him.

That even when things seems to be falling apart,

Or when all the facts and figures are against you,

When God is on your side, you are still the majority.

When all else fails, God doesn't.

Because God is GOOD and He is always GOOD.

Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams!

Because that disappointment might just be a blessing in disguise!

God has something great stored up for you!

Therefore: Keep pressing on!

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

People always ask why do bad things happen to good people.

But have you tried asking why do people do bad things to a GOOD God?

And yet God still loves us regardless of how messed up we are.

That's real love, because God is GOOD.

Proverbs 16:9 says, "Cause in the heart of a man he makes his plan, but the Lord directs his steps."

- God is GOOD, all the time -
