"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Blessed Christmas!!!

Christmas is all about Christ. I am so glad to be at today's service coz the choir really rocked my Christmas. They made up for the boo boo they did yesterday. Wah siah, apart from the distortion from the speakers, they were pretty impressive! Keep it up, R-age Choir! Eh, time to come up with a cooler name lah!

I also brought a friend that I met from work to Church today. His name is Elton. We had lunch together at the market near the Jurong East Stadium and we were a hit. I mean this is only the 2nd time I met him and since that first meeting, we've been able to share openly about out lives. Elton used to go to church and he still calls Jesus His Lord and I can sense that he is trying to make his walk count now. He is coming again next week to the main service. I might just join him.

I don't deserve such a trust from a "stranger", but I've been greatly blessed by the people that I meet. As much as I try to bless them, their lives is a blessing to me. I always say that I am not the best of examples, but the Lord is gracious and I just want to avail myself to be a channel of His blessing to others. Don't neglect those who seek after your attention. Don't despise them because they are different from you. If you ignore them, u might be dismissing the Lord Jesus. Remember that when u entertain strangers, u might be "entertaining angels unaware". How about the parable of the sheep and the goats? Jesus said that if we do the the little things to our brothers and sisters, we are doing unto him. So if we reject people, we might be rejecting the Lord. What reasons do we have in not showing love to others? Yes, there are exceptions where even the bible stated cases where certain members among the body has to be outcast because of the harm they pose to the body of Christ. These are few and we shouldn't be so quick to look down on others.

I've always been careful. In my life my friendliness had been taken advantaged of and abused by others. But this doesn't stop me from being good to others. My conscience agree with what I do when I do it for Christ. If others abuse my trust, then may the Lord have mercy on them and cause them to be melted by the kindness of God, but it doesn't stop me! It should not stop all of us.

Have u been a blessing lately or a curse to someone? Time to extend love, joy and peace beyond this Christmas day.

Merry Christmas once again!
