A New Beginning

A new skin always signifies a new beginning. The end of sorrow and the beginning of joy.

Recently, there's been so much talk about revival and stuff pertaining to the second coming, and the rapture and the return of Christ. Lest we get too excited, let's always keep our focus on God, and He will make our paths straight. It's always good to remind ourselves of our higher calling, which is to shine in the darkness, to be the light of the world, salt of the earth, and to be a living testimony for God whereever we go, no matter how tough the circumstances.

An encouragement to Ding (if you are reading this...). America will bring it's challenges, it's temptations, but we all pray that you'll stay firmly rooted to the truth and to God, never forgetting your Christian values or forsaking your beliefs. Make you come out of this experience a changed person, changed for the better, and never for the worse. There's a chinese saying that goes, that a out of the muddy mire comes the white lillies. Stay pure and holy even in the midst of temptation Ding! On a side note...starting to miss Ding a little, will email him perhaps...

Youth Camp this year is incidentally being led along the path of Outreach, what an appropriate skin to complement this theme! Let's shine for Jesus and save as many as we can by God's grace so that when the day comes, as few as possible will have to suffer the pain of hell and eternal suffering. I'd hate to see people dying just because we were not doing our duty on earth. Of course, with this challenge comes the lack of courage to witness, which i firmly believe God will help us all to overcome. Let' s stay close to Him and draw strength and wisdom from Him!

BB, all this change and everything, most encouraging, and i truly truly thank God for seeing us through and showing us a little glimpse of His radiant glory. Hopefully our faces will also radiate, having seen His goodness. and let this be a testimony to all the world that our God is an awesome and great God.

Live Praise coming up. Gots to plan something. Gots to pray. And gots to rely on God for song choices and the inspiration for prayer.

So till Christ comes again. Keep shining for Him! Keep growing closer to Him! It'll all be worth it one day!
God, Christ smiling at us...saying 'Well done, good and faithful servant!' and we tumble into His soft and tender embrace. That's something to look forward to. :) (smile guys...smile!)
