Battleground

There are things you know in your head.

Yet when something happens, what is in your head doesn't translate down to your actions. Or when something happens, it is so instinctive to react in a manner. That it seems almost fixed.

Been terribly disappointed. I believe the hardest battle is the mind. What the mind directs without the act of the will, is letting a free reign of unguarded desires.

The resolve of a person is the character of the person.

Building resolve. Building defences. It is not just the mere reading of God's word. It is mind enablment of guard that trust and call upon an absolutely belief that God has perfect control and wisdom.

Never felt further from knowing the holiness God unless I can be certain that my heart and mind can anchor that God alone is worthy of all my pursuits. That is all. Somehow I find lack. Somehow I find a desire. The conflict battle has always wage.

Paul says of himself, "In me dwell no good thing."

To lose a second of guard could be a gateway towards disaster.

Somehow a mind, heart and soul fixed on God is indeed the hardest thing to do coz all surrounding a redeemed soul is a body of flesh.

Yet the battle must wage with the armour of God.

I hope what I battle in the mind will allow me to be fixed and settled.

The holiness of God is indeed worth the highest pursuit and shall be my sure defense. I must not lose guard.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. There must be scars to your flesh, your mind to do that.

It is war but I must, as Paul tells Timothy, to fight the good fight. So I must fight this battle.

花

花瓣，雨滴，鲜艳，绝美。

自然，清晰，温心，感人。

花的一生是短暂的，但有异议的。

它的精彩，美丽动人。

芬芳的香，永远难忘。

雨滴

在寻求一首曲，一份心意和感觉。

也许它在逃避，也许是时间未到。

看到了雨滴在窗外，很多感触。

每滴虽然看起来都很类似，但它不以为然。

雨来的时候，也是希望来临的时刻。

应为可能在寻找的那滴雨就在你面前。

我还在窗后，还没走出去，笔也还未拿起。

在追逐.

Reflections

I wrote a song recently. I think I wrote it in reflection of this verse "But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." Matthew 10:33

I had a discipler. Many years ago, in fact 20 years ago. He walked me through the entire book of Matthew in 1 year. That was straight after I got saved during a religious emphasis week rally. Back in my secondary school, St Andrew, we have one week of evangelistic campaign. I trusted Christ, the very first time the gospel was shared. To me, I find the gospel message so real coz the only one thing came to my mind when I heard the gospel, I need God's forgiveness coz I am a terrible sinner. That was what drew my heart to Him. I knew that forgiveness came because God loves me.

I dunno why this verse got stuck in my head coz after I had backsliden in the faith, this verse constantly ring in my heart, of which I am grateful for. God has used this verse to draw me back. The other was in John 6:37, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out."

Perhaps going through the discipleship course reminded how one life can influence another. I lost contact with my discipler. But in a way this song could remind me how the love of God in someone's life can leave a mark of grace.

What Jesus has done on the cross is indeed precious. Love constrains us. Paul says. I think each time I look at the cross, I would not just be coldly staring but be filled by the knowledge of His love and His abundant mercy.

May Christ be glorified through this song.

Took these pictures at the training room where I had course this week.

Simply breathtaking.

The view from above is beautiful.

Awe written in the heart.

Thank God.

苹果

眼睛望着苹果，它的影子也定住了。

人生有的情，不是苹果的影子，一旦心动了，就定了。

定的原因是找到了一个优良的苹果，它不普通。它很珍贵。

这字条是写给它的。
