to the passerby
hi passerby, this is regarding and answering to ur question regarding what does God do to those who cause suffer to others.
i cant say its the perfect answer, but i read this on a book i bought.
hope it helps :)
why do ppl often get away with evil and what does God do to those who cause suffer to others?
well, this book actually says that...
"why are the wicked so prosperous? why are evil ppl so happy? u have planted them, and they have taken root and prospered. ur name is on their lips but u r far frm their hearts" (jeremiah 12:1-2)
even jeremiah struggled with the prosperity of evil ppl, u must rmb that becus of sin, life on this earth is not fair. but at the final judgement, God will settle all accounts, and everything will be fair for all eternity. :)
it seems that ppl today can do anything they want and not only get away with it but also flourish. (i get that alot). however God has promised that in his time, everyone will be judeged, evil will be exposed. and the righteous will prevail. God doesnt promise the absence of evil on this earth. in fact, he warns that evil will be pervasive and powerful. But God promises to help u stand against evil; if u do, u will receive ur reward in heaven, where evil will be no more.
well at least that is what i got from the book. i think most imptly is love ur enemies, only when u try to love them, u will forgive and forget. althou its harder than talking, but i must say it really helps.
and finally,
God sees all, God sees all ur afflictions and sufferings, and in due time u will be rewarded.
Genesis 31:42 " God saw my affliction and the labour of my hands".
most of the times, this is what i learnt in life as well, that doing the right thing doesnt pay back immediately.
if we press on tgt in this testing season of sufferings, we shall come forth as "Gold" and as long as we do not grow weary in doing good, in due time we shall reap a harvest.
hope these helps. take care and God bless :)
anyway thanks for prompting me to read further on this!
Ciaoz!

Today was a great great day!
start off with a wonderful brunch (breakfast+ lunch) at sizzler tea buffet and then with a bloated stomach, went to watch the new movie "the rise of the planet of the ape". what a great great movie that is. thrilled by it and got very attatched to the emotional scenes where the ape was abandoned. wow, the story line was great, the whole movie was thrilling from the start, its just so intense and its not vague at all. nice movie i must say. :)
i thought i would just be going for another round of sleepy movie like harry potter and transformers. LOL. i got so bored in transformers and harry potter that i spot out every single silly scenes just to make myself laugh at something to be worthy of since i pay for it. LOL.
after the movie as i was walking to the mrt, razor tv interviewed me on some weird topic " have u been molested or taken advantaged of in mrt and bus". i tried to avoid the interview aiya, but too bad LOL. my whole hair in a mess, completely no eyeliner nor make up, look sloppy and stuff LOL. why man, why this time! haha. anyway i think the reporter looks quite cute LOL!
after the movie, went straight to an interview for a part time flexible job. surprisingly the interviewer was extremely friendly and we spoke so informally. yea, thats the way man~ HAHAAH!
after interview went to got somethings on my MUST GET LIST.
according to my priorty:
1) JOHN BEVERE'S EXTRAORDINARY BOOK
2) BRITT NICOLE ALBUM
3) GINNY OWENS ALBUM
and guess what i couldnt find the first two. and got my no.3 instead only. but becus of this trip, made a new friendly friend from the christian book store at bras brasah TECMAN. haha, it sort of end the day well where at first i was rather disapointed not getting the book and britt's album. its funny how friendship birth forth from a simple and short conversation. mark was helping me to find the book and album i wanted but to no avail, haha. sort of funny. in the end we click off well and exchanged numbers.
its not the first time i made friends like that, just by talking to them randomly. it ended the day or rather night well :)
today is one of the days where i really let down my hair (pun intended :p), makeup-less,messed up hair, in my usual jeans and tank top, with my about to fall apart flops. i went out whole day and felt like i was shopping with God. haha. its like i went on a date with Jesus. haha.
felt great and refreshed today. no pressure, nth to rush much.
i guess my life, most of my days i would rush here and there, help this do that, pressured must get this right and that in order. so i seldom experienced a day like this. so i decided to spend my last 15mins of my today to record this down, this great day down :)
listening to britt nicole now. really like it. the lyrics especially.
tomorow is gotta be a great day! helping out at the house of joy, at the same time playing for one of the song item with the cajon. guess i really need to own a cajon soon, i cant keep borrowing from my friend.
ciao! good night :)
"let them hear you thru me
let ur words be mine
let them see that ur love
is the reason im inspired
and when given the choice,
may they recognize ur voice.
let them hear u thru me, o Lord." ----ginny owens.

Grace grace grace, its all i need.
thx u Jesus, i just wanna be found by you :)
why does God give me suffering and blessing at the same time?
haha, its funny the way God works in my life.
this year, in fact this very moment im still experiencing may many setbacks and sufferings yet i dont know why blessings and breakthrus come in at the same time! :)
anyways, God is good.
tonight has been good.
God has been very very very good to me.
becus of his mercy and his grace, im still hanging on.
i hope and pray things will fall into place.
its as if im in a whole year of transition.
wow what a looong time to be in a transition phase.
one whole year!
many breakthrus came, but at the same time many sufferings came.
the breakthrus were very huge, yet the sufferings were also very significant and huge.
Let His will be done, and not mine. :)
I pray He reveals to me His plans and let me not be lost, lost and hanging around.
its been a loong time since i last post a blessing post. usually my blog is all about posts of breakthrus,but guess this year has been very hard for me.
very very very very hard. i guess its hard to explain.
but thx God im still here, im still around for Good. :)
i pray i will be out of this phase soon, and his plans to be revealed, and my life to be going, FOR HIM.
ciao!

All i need is alittle grace
Inspite of everything, i will pick up and play again.
there are just so many times where we can get so discouraged at that one sentence a person say. we could rehearse it every minute while the person could have possibly alrdy forgotten the remark he/she has given.
whats the point of rehearsing and so mindful of whatever people say?
AT LEAST we did what God told us to do.
so who cares about the negative remarks, the embarassments, the shame, the hardships and the torments?
AT LEAST I DID WHAT GOD TOLD ME TO DO.
all my life i have been running away, running away from this and that.
i worry about this, worry about that.
but the renewing mercy that He gives each morning comforts me.
of course i feel the burden that i should carry the revival for my family.
my only and ultimate prayer: for my grandparents and all relatives to be saved in Jesus name.
if i can bring my whole family to stay in church a few years back, what can stop me from doing the same to get my relatives and grandparents back to our creator, our father?
Lord here i am, send me.
I am not ashamed to be small enough to fit in ur hand.
"All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there’s someone perfect who might be searching for us. I'm glad that I've found that perfect someone - Jesus."
this powerful, so true and pure statement is made by someone whom has just gotten saved. Her purity, her innocent love towards Jesus touched me.
So who care what u have did in the past, to deserve all that criticizes and gazes, Jesus is here. Here to Love you.
one of the best things in my life that i love to witness, is to see how the lost get found, yet with that little knowing about God, they place all they have in Him. so what more can the older believers do?
that is one of the reason why my best friends are people who are honest and pure. these people are the people whom are like the pure innocent children, who could draw to Jesus so much more than the so called older believers.
Shouldnt we treasure every little blessings He gave us instead of nagging about where we are and how bad our situation is? cus one of the best things in life is to be found by Him.
I know He is in control. and He still is. i trust in Him. so what can tear down my faith and trust in Him. i wont give up.
so what if i feel there is nothing i can do to make things right? He said " its not about u, its not your problem nor what u can do, because i can do anything."
during those almost tangible moments, i thought i heard "there is a reason why i didnt let u get to where u want to, there is a reason why ur route isnt as smooth now, I am using you. Just wait and u'll see."
another britt nicole quote- "How will i know if im alive,if i'll survive, without ur spirit inside. to guide me along,u're making me strong. I'll never feel alone as long as i belong to you and ur son. u're the only one i ever need. and i just want to be, and i just want to be ur little girl. i dont have to figure out this crazy world. " '
ciao! :)
