Dear God,
I thank You once more for all that Youve done for me. Dying on the cross to pay for my sins, so that I can enjoy the afterlife in Your company, Lord. Today has been smooth-sailing as I continued to preach the gospel and try to bring Dad & Nick closer to You, Lord. I was.... once again amazed by You, Lord. I simply flipped the pages of the Bible & answers started appearing!! Answers for the questions my Dad asked, & even when Andrea told me about the tsunami, about how it was to punish the wicked-doers who had engaged in witchcraft, & at the same time giving mercy to the bunch of christians on the mountain & even people closer, such as Grace's uncle.. wow. It was all that Dad questioned. Thank You Lord. You are so amazing, & who can solve your mysteries? Dear God these few days, Ive been trying to bring Nick closer to You Lord. Ive been leading Nick in prayers for the past two nights & Im not sure if he felt You, but Im glad it's the small little steps that Nick has taken, & already I am so pleasantly surprised to hear Nick say, 'I believe in God. I believe in Jesus.' wow... Amazed by Your works Lord. Thank You for using me Lord, to bring my family closer to You, to experience The Greatest Love from You Lord. I thank You so much, how could I live without You, Lord? Dear Jesus I continue to pray that You will use me to bring them closer to You Lord, to let them know more about You Lord, and Lord I pray that You would present me with a solution as to how I can bring them to a church? They are refusing to go to Riverlife because 'it is too far', & yes I do think thats a valid 'excuse'.. Haha. Lord I pray You will show me the way Lord so that I can let them go for service.
Dear God, today has been good. I spent some good time resting, & I also preached the gospel to my dad. He was open to it. Lord I pray that You will give my family members an open mind to Christianity.. So that they will receive Christ Lord. Dear Jesus I repent, for asking too much money for my parents. Ive been overspending & Lord, I want to repent.. I think. Haha. Lord I pray for discipline & strength. I pray that I will be blessed with the discipline to not overspend & even, develop the habit of saving, so that I wont place my parents in too much financial strain. I concede that they are not that rich, Lord, and that I SHOULD help them save too, Lord. It is my job, honour my parents, Lord.
Dear God today I came across a Christian website & there were some meaningful quotes that I want to write here. http://www.mp3holyspirit.com/quotations/jesus-quotes.html
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by Me." - JOHN 14:16
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses neither will your father forgive your trespasses." - MATTHEW 6:14-15
"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." - LUKE 14:11
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." - MATTHEW 22:37-40
"The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when He is killed, after three days He will rise." - MARK 9:31
"Of that day or that hour no one knows, not even angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come." - MARK 13:32-33
"Why do you call Me good ? No one is good but God alone." - LUKE 18:19
"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." - LUKE 5:32
"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven." - MATTHEW 6:1 (note: hypocrisy)
"Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."- MATTHEW 26:41
"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."- MATTHEW 21:22
Yes Lord. I particularly find Matthew 6:1 rather startling & I guess that verse teaches me about hypocrisy, how the Lord sees through everything, & how only actions done with a true heart will not be condemned by You Lord. Matthew 6:14-15 teaches me about forgiveness, Lord, and You have personally spoken to me once about this when I was troubled over Candice breaking her promise and smokes- something I immensely dislike. He who forgives shall be forgiven by You. He has forgiven so that I can forgive. Amen, amen, Lord. Thank You Lord. Thank You. In Jesus' most precious name, AMEN.
