A Time to Reflect with Thanksgiving.

Ya, think for the first time, i missed a sunday of been "presence" during the frisbee game today... also missed the game, our hope pp and our friends from the neighbourhood. Guess today must be a good game since not too hot or windy... yeah, think i will missed the game next week again, not that it's a easy game, but rather doing God's work. Seeing that God has brought pp into our weekly game and how they still keep coming back... not that we are a bunch of "excellent" players but rather can see God's is working within this ministry and how the non-hope players are been attracted to come back again and again to join us. Well, again i can take a break "officially". =)

Yeah, met with my parents and sis for high tea at ps... and still haven really started packing... aiyah!!!

Hmmm, decide to blog today's sermon by Pastor B.C., was quite awakening sermon to me this morning... What kind of lover?

As mentioned by pastor, there are 5 kinds of lovers...
1)Lovers of themselves
2)Lovers of money
3)Lovers of what's not good
4)Lovers of pleasure
5)Lovers of God

Lovers of themselves
They are the kind of people as what described as those who have a unhealthy obsession of themselves that they tends of think of themselves above others... i dun deny that at times when i only see to only my own needs and thus everyone alse beside seems so "insignificant"... but contrary, i think i should love myself more... definitely not til the expense of others. Phil 2:3-4 (added verse 3).. decided to quote out the verse, am not very well-versed since i last reviewed this verse from TMS. v3-4 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."

Lovers of money
Matt 6:24... saying of serving which master? God or money? whom will i choose? like what pastor said, was quite true... though his example more directed at brothers rather than sis... anyway, if we are not careful... we too will fall into this trap... attractions of this world is simply too catchy to our eyes... things which may look so harmless, yet so trapping!!! hmmm, think i'm allowing myself to get drawn into this, stuffs that i wanted to get for myself... the thinking behind my motive to get the stuffs i wanted may be wrong... so i will have to be more careful.

Lovers of what's not good
- have a carnal instinct to defy what's good...

Lovers of pleasure
Think pp who pursued life of pleasure and missed out their purpose and God has given to them... Hope that as much as i wanted to live such life, but not til to the extent of living without God in my life...

Lovers of God
-Have a hunger for God, a willingness to live an obedience and ..... (hehe, hands and mind too tired to catch up with the super-fast screen) like what Jesus hungered and longed to commune with the Father , obeyed whole-hearted and ministered with passion.

As much as i am lover, to which one puts more priority in my life right now... hmmm, have this desire to be a lover of God, but God also need my commitment and effort to this relationship too before i can fall in love with God again. Hopefully with God's help, i will once again fall in love with our Lord again.

Anyway, thanks to hz who lent me her 1 and only pen, that i can penned down the sermon notes n tots today... =) Okay, back to my packing...
