Renew

Sometimes, people, things and events withering away without a reason;

And we can take this process as a consolation that the nature has a say in putting everything in place.

Stop asking what's not; for all we need is to cooperate with the course of nature.

But yet, count your blessings and be thankful for they left traces and made memories beautiful.

Happy New Year, 2013 welcome!

Help Meet

Women, you are made with a great mission.

You are a completer, an aggressor,

A weaker vessel who endows with gentle strength.

You have the ability to give, to follow;

Yet all you receive will be Love, Respect and Refuge.

Help Meet

I want you to be happy

"I want you to be happy, always happy in the Lord; I repeat, what I want is your happiness. Let your tolerance be evident to everyone: the Lord is very near.

There is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving, and that peace of God, which is so much greater than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:4-7

人是弱者

”Do not trust in a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend.  Even with her who lies in your embrace be careful of your words.” - Micah 7:5 (NIV)

"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence." - George Washington

We are all fallible and capricious creatures - bound by moods, selfishness, pettiness, jealousy and insecurity...

So do not be astound when you are betrayed by your colleague, neighbor, friend or even your family...

爱

Today marks the second Sunday of Advent. The second candle is lit symbolizes Love.

It's so true that every time we seek Love in humans, material things and physical pleasure and when we were disappointed by people or didn't get enough of the material and pleasure, we become angry, sad and frustrated. This happened as we looked for love in the wrong way, at the wrong place and with the wrong intention. We were so consumed by our ego, desires and selfishness that we block ourselves of coming face to face to meet Love.

Love resides in our heart and it demonstrates through our actions, behaviors - in overall, our faith. It's only when we contemplate on the meaning of Love then we will experience it.

This morning while I kneeled down and pray, this verse whispered to me.

"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."

1 Corinthians 13
