Being Thirsty
We worship a God who became a vulnerable human being. Superman took kryptonite. Samson let his hair be cut. Jack Frost relinquished his wintry powers to become the town tailor. Jesus got thirsty. Its a story that is played out not only in history, but in fantasy, legend and mythology someone with supernatural powers gives up those powers to become human and it is always done for one reason: love. That was Gods reason, only His love was pure. But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8).
And yet Jesus did more than just come to die. He also came to live as a human being. And thats how it came to be that the God who made the heavens and the earth, including the clouds that bring water to a thirsty land, wound up at the well of Jacob asking a Samaritan woman for a drink. She had something He needed.
Please give me a drink. Its how He opened the conversation (John 4:7). He gave her worth by asking her for a drink. Due to tradition and culture, He should have had nothing to do with this woman. As it turned out, He ended up revealing to her His identity as the Messiah something He did not do that directly to anyone for the rest of his ministry on earth.
Love always makes you vulnerable. Theres no way you can love and not expose yourself in some way or give something up. Love and need go together. Gods love compelled Him to do what He did because that very love created in Him a need for us. By creating us He also created in Himself a place for us, and that need was reflected many times through the life of Christ.
Jesus Christ didnt die for us because it made for good theology, He died for us because He loved us, lost us to sin, and gave Himself up to buy us back. By doing this He had to become vulnerable to the very system He created, that we might see how true love behaves. There is a death in love, and that death is the death of self. Jesus died to love us; we die as well in order to love and serve others. And part of that is in being vulnerable.
Sometimes the best thing we can do for someone is ask for help. Jesus asked the woman for a drink and three years later, he was asking for the same thing from the cross symbolic of the vulnerability He placed Himself into for the whole human race. Being vulnerable to those you love is a big part of love itself.

Hot! Hot! Hot! HOT! HOT!
Wow service yest was really terrific!
Sometimes its so true that we often forget our true identity in God and be limited in our mindset. >.<
During the Tabernacle bs, Ps. Tan was telling us that according to the arithemetical calculation, by right a bumble bee can't fly given the big body n small wings. But why is the bee able to fly then? Bcos the bumble bee was not taught the arithemetical calculation! It didn't know that it can't fly! See, we mustn't be stuck in the old mindset n value system! While we r still stuck at this mindset, God has already move on! Let's be flexible. With God all things are possible.
Your life will only change when your thinking changes!

If u can understand and realise...
Can't sleep.
Been watching MTV from 12 plus till now. Dunno wat to do.. Feel like going for a walk now but i will be scolded if were to go down cos its so late.
Just in a lousy mood since yest. Cried the whole night. Ha, so bad i din even went to school today. =E256, pls note tt this is a bad eg. U r nt to follow!=
Kwang, i really dunno wat i can do except to be the 'bad' person in ur life. I know u'll be angry. Seriously, i hate myself for being such an annoying person! But if u can understand and realise...
I have passed the stage of giving up on you. No matter how u (intentionally or unintentionally) try to use words that hurt badly, i wan u to know that i really wan to be an influence to you in a good way. If u can understand and realise...
You have come so far, and u and i know that, God had shown grace and mercy to you and what's more can He show u that He truly love u. If u can understand and realise...
The fact that God freed n brought u out of bondage is not to put u in anther bondage.
Kwang, all the things that we do, is really that we love you. If u can understand and realise...
If God can touch you before, He can touch you again.. You dun need to just have a encounter... Once.... but again and again and again... cos Jesus loves u. n so do I n the cg.. If u can understand and realise.. Lord, that my prayer to you. An encounter with Kwang. From u.
Chatted with Grace just nw. While talking abt kwg then i realised that she was crying. *hope u dun mind me blogging this part* Seriously, forthe first time, i was losssst for words! I dunno wat to say. Probably bcos i was feeling the same way n i understood. If onlyy he undrstand and realise...
faith.. prayer.. fasting.. anything.. i m willing......
Seeing Grace like tt, i can only tell myself to embrace myselff up. In fact, i've think i made some ppl worried bout me. Peien u need to be strong, the cell grp need u. u cant fall.
All the more i need u Lord. Who can i turn to except u.
Well as im blogging this with tears, i have this beautiful song to share with u guys. When u tell me that u love me by Westlife and Diana Ross.
Its really a nice n touching song. Do hear it. Click on the MV.
As im listening to this song, just felt that it was like a communion with my heavenly father.
"everytime you touch me
i become a hero
i make u safe no matter where u are"
It's because God touched me, i can be a hero.
He is my hero so i can be one.
Jesus u are my HERO. I LOVE YOU.

New kid in the block!
Phew! The construction of my new blog is finally 'done'. Well of cos there are some touch up to do but just cant wait to show case my blog to everyone! Haha~~
Hmm... its a brand new year and truly hope that i can end the year victorious! Wanna give special thx to God for 2005. When things weren't turning out the way as it seems, when i felt that the situations i'm in was a dead end, the Lord had not given up on me. Really was the grace n mercy HE had given to me. " I have fought the good fight, i have finished the race, I have kept the faith." - 2 Tim 4:7
Anyway, it has been raining cats n dogs these few days! Read the papers this may continue till fri!!! Haiyo.. but its quite shiok to nua~ on bed though. =P

I have my verse for the yr though.
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth
that i desire beside You.
My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
-Psalm 73:25,26-
