Waiting on You, Lord

An email i came across


God knows what is in our hearts. We might as well get right to the point.
God won't take away a sin until you give it over to Him.
The times when you need God the most are when you don't think you need Him.
Don't worry about proving God's existence, because no one can disprove it.
Exposing yourself to God's truth is risky, but it's a risk worth taking.
Whenever you feel insignificant, remember how important you are to God.
Don't make plans and then ask for the Lord's approval. Ask God to direct your planning.
God may be using people who disagree with you.
You will begin to live when you lose yourself in God's purpose for you.
Little is much if God is in it.
The person who looks up to God rarely looks down on anyone.
Faith does not demand miracles, but often accomplishes them.

It's a good thing to delight in the Lord, but how much better when the Lord delights in you.
A bible on the shelf is worthless; a Bible being read is priceless.
The next time you take your Bible for granted, remember that in some countries it's illegal to own a Bible.
The time to find moments of stillness and quiet is when it's the most difficult to do so.
Prayer changes things.
Pray for people who dislike you.
Pray for people you dislike.
Prayer without effort will be insincere. Effort without prayer will be ineffective.
You can't stand up to Satan if you don't kneel before God.
Pray with perseverance and expectancy.
The next time you feel weak in the knees, try using them to pray.
People of God may not talk about their prayer habits, but their lives speak volumes!

The measure of a good sermon is the listerner's response, not the pastor's speech.
Every morning you choose your attitude for the day.
The first step on the path to commitment is making up your mind.
People will be more impressed by what you finish than by what you start.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You'll never live long enough to make them all yourself haha.
Once in a while, set a goal that absolutely terrifies you.
When you think you've learned enough, you haven't.
It's hard to learn from a mistake you don't acknowledge making.
Seeing is better than looking.
Listening is better than hearing.
Doing is better than talking.
Run the race to win, even if you don't stand a chance!
While the poor dream of having riches, the wealthy long for simplicity.
What you are bears little resemblance to what you have.

You can start your day without God, but you'll never really get started.
If what you are doing won't make a difference in 5 years, it probably doesn't matter now.
Whenever you look to the future, be bold.
A good life is of more value than a good living.
If you can't get to sleep at night, check your pillow.
If you can't get to sleep for two nights, check your mattress.
If you can't get to sleep for three nights, check your conscience.
Joy comes from controlling, rather than exercising your passions.
Live somewhere between complacency and crisis.

Live longer by worrying less.
When you are feeling overwhelmed, remember to take things one at a time-one day at a time.
Worrying occurs when God is left out of the process.
Worry is a choice.
When you choose to worry, you are choosing not to trust God.
Best way to stop worrying is to start praying. :)
Prayer changes things; worry changes nothing.

You will learn more from adversity than from prosperity.
Resist the natural inclination to hold adversity at arm's length. Embrace it willingly.
Convert your failutres into successes by learning from them.
God will either protect you from hardships or give you the strength to go through them. You win either way. :)
A thick skin and a short memory are the best weapons against unjust criticism.
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the ability to act in the presence of fear.

Rather than using God to solve your problems, use your problems to get closer to God. :)
God comforts us is so that we can comfort others.
Our ultimate confort is knowing that someday we will be with God.
Love first if you long to be loved.

Our five senses are incomplete without the sixth- a sense of humor.
Remember the punch line before you tell the joke.
Laugh at yourself. Laugh with others.
You know you have a good sense of humor if you can laugh when someone tells your joke better than you.
Laugh at yourself as much as others do.
If someone tells you a joke you've heard, let them finish and laugh anyway.
There's a time to be serious and a time to laugh. Learn to tell the difference haha.
Humor works best when it brings joy to others.

thurs-friday

its thursday night.. finally can have my well deserved break today!!what have been busy with? yes.. Japanese classes, guitar, meeting up friends, working, preparing a friend's wedding, so forth and so on..yesterday zhenying shared about... the end times..

says in the bible one day to God = 1000years to us
so from Adam to Abraham's generation=> 2000years
and from Abraham to Jesus=> 2000years
from Jesus to our generation=> 2006 years

God created 7 days... therefore,
7days=7000years
God worked for 6 days and he rested for 1 day.
6 days= 6000 years & 1 day=1000 years [Millenium rule with Christ]

Jesus by right should come back at the end of the 6000 years to judge the earth again..
However From Adam to us= 2000+2000+2006
=6006
We are living in borrowed times. That means that anytime Jesus is going to come back..
What if tonight God says He will come back tomorrow to judge the living & the dead?
What will happen?
What will happen to my family members?
I thought about cynthia. Cynthia, can i tell you something? You really mean alot to me.. You are my very good friend, I really hope you receive salvation. You may not see this blog, but just to let you know that I really really care for you. I want to see you in heaven with me.
