Philippians 1:21 says,"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Paul tells us clearly that our lives are meant for the glory of Christ who was, and is, and is to come! To die is gain for we are going HOME! But notice he did not say 'dying' is gain. Come to think of it, it is quite silly for Christians to get themselves involved (or maybe drowned would be a better word) in so many activities and end up struggling with their own Quiet Time and begin compromising their time with the family. Time with the King. Outweighs. Time with the Kingdom.

Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword..."

"The word of God is shallow enough for a newborn baby to swim in and deep enough for a Bible scholar never to reach the abyss. Isn't that amazing?"
~Quote from Oliver Kelly~

Colossians 4:2 says,"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."

Recently, I realized there's this new JC1 in our college who has only one leg.

Thank God for showing care and kindness towards him.
"You have only one leg but yet you can stand. God is good!"

When you pray for others, your own life will change.

Romans 8:31 says,"[ More Than Conquerors ] What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Looking at pastries make me smile : )

Lesson learnt today: Don't curse your day even before it starts

for this is the day that the LORD has made : )

Colossians 3:13 says,"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

Went running and swimming with Isaac, Ezra, C.F, Benny and the other AQ bunch this morning. Really thank God for this great bunch of younger brothers. Though small in size, they are stronger and faster and swifter than my classmate. Haha, show me what I should do to follow-up with them, O Lord! : )

Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind."

A Christian living without God is worst than a swimmer swimming in a pool without water.

Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"

Thank God for a wonderful week : )

Time to upgrade to new shoes
