rejoice always.

Praise the Lord!
was really touched by the bro's speaking.
especially the portion on electricity.
everything have two sides, inside and outside.
for e.g., physics teachers can educate us on electricity...
its power, units, the results of electric shock, etc etc
however, it is only an outward aspect.
we need to place our finger into the socket
AND get an electric shock for ourselves,
only then will we truly understand the feeling of electricity.
this is the inward aspect.
likewise, no matter how much ppl tell us about Christ,
if we do not touch Him,
we will NEVER really understand or experience Him,
not to mention a close relationship.
therefore, we must always turn back to our spirit,
constantly touching Him for more "Christ-shock"!!

On the contrary, we must be careful of insulators.
between the finger and socket, if there is even a thin sheet of paper as insulation,
there will be no electric shock.
Similarly, if there is any sins between us and the Lord,
it will be difficult for us to touch Him.
Hence, we need:
a pure heart
simple faith
& a clear conscience.
Praise the Lord!!!

Lord, i give myself to You in this new year.
may there not be any insulation between us.
I want to have such a personal and intimate relationship with You.
grant me such a pure and single heart for You and Your economy.
Lord, i love You.

youth hymnal 404~
Lord, now i see,
You only want me to believe
Not to change
in all my failures and defeats.
to believe what You have done,
and not in what i see.

Lord, i believe,
when all around me is defeat
and it seems
that nothing's changing outwardly.
No! i'm not discouraged,
i'm believing You.

i was really encouraged by this hymn!
Lord, i love believing You!!!
