Daily Prayer

Help me O God,
To be a good and true friend;
To be always loyal, and never to let my friends down;
Never to talk about them behind their backs in a way I would not do before their faces;
Never to betray a confidence or talk about the things about which I ought to be silent;
Always to be ready to share everything I have;
To be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.
This i ask for the sake of Him who is the greatest and truest of all friends, for Jesus' sake. Amen

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time long long ago, when i was still a little ignorant little boy who still have not much of an idea of what love is, i started a relationship with a girl, not fully aware of what I'm about to do with no plans ahead. Although the time we had spent together was only as short as a few weeks(1 and a half month to be exact), i was truly in love with that particular girl. And whats more, i made a promise. A promise to her that, she will only be the one and only lady that i want to be together with for the rest of my life(i suppose that girl had already erased that memory from her brain long ago...). That promise it seems, is the promise that holds me up together, keeps me strong when I'm weak, and gives me light where there's no hope. And then you would ask why is it that we break up? The reason is simple enough for me. I love her, that's why i let her go.

And as for now. I can see, hear, and even experience it myself, what does living together for the rest of the life means. Everyday and night, I will have to endure the failure of the relationship of mum and dad, quarreling all the time over and over again. Father God tells me that one need to be complete himself/herself before one can start loving another human being for the sake of re-population. Obviously, those people who had marriage failures and divorces failed to do so. Obviously, my parents are categorized as the same group.

As time passes by, I grew really afraid. Afraid of not having completely loved myself and God before i love someone else. Afraid of my kids in the future suffering if me and my future wife had arguments. Afraid of them to have a fucked up childhood because of their parents, just like I did. I used to seek for love and relationship ever so desperately back then. Why? Of course I would! Parent don't love me, families don't love me, nobody loves me... and I thought that I need to find a girl that loves me. I need to feel love. I need to be loved...

But after that, I had finally found my source of love. It has always been there for me since I was born, since before I was born! God had always watched me from above with everything I do. Guiding me step by step to his side. My hunger and craving for love is satisfied. And what's more, this love is everlasting and for eternity and will never ever fades away. Whatever I ask from Him, He does not give it to me, but instead He gives me something even better! Praise the one and only creator of our world God. Hallelujah!

Maybe it seems like a silly promise for everyone who reads this, a promise to be with someone you love for the rest of your life. I made that promise, and i never intends to break it either. If fates allow, we will be together again in the future somehow. Otherwise, I hold no regrets of making that promise and will continue living the rest of my days single and unmarried until i reach the doorsteps of heaven above to be with the Almighty one.

Daily Prayer

Father God,
House may not necessarily be a home;
And home are not always happy and loving.
Sometimes, there is fighting and shouting, arguments and anger.
There are times when we might not want to go home at all - but we may be too ashamed to tell anyone how we feel.
Lord you know all our worries and our problems.
Help me to pray to you about the things which troubles us and to know whatever happens you are always there, loving us.
Amen

Daily Prayer

O God, give me in my life the fruit of peace.
Help me to take things calmly.
Help me not to get into panic when things go wrong.
Help me not to worry but to take things as they come, a day at a time.
Help me not to be nervous but to keep cool when i have something important to do.
Help me never to lose my temper, no matter how annoying things or people may be.
Keep me calm and steady, so that I will never collapse, and so that others may be able to rely on me when they are up against it.
This i ask for Jesus' sake, Amen

1 Corinthians 13 : 1~13

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Daily Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus,
When you come into the world you had no home,
your bed was a manger and your shelter, a stable.
Help us to remember all the people in this country,
and all over the world who are homeless today.
Help us to think of what we can do for them.
Make us more caring and loving to those who have no place to stay.
Amen.
