My Prayer on 23 November 2006

I thank my God every time I remember you.
-Philippians 1:3

Dearest God, I may be the only "Bible" someone ever reads. Please help me be a living testament that is worth reading. Please work through me and help me be a light and a shelter for my non-believing friends, classmates, neighbours, coworkers. I am sitting here today, yielded to your will, and asking you to use me open the eyes of someone who has been blind his or her whole life. What an incredible blessing it would be to know I am the instrument you used to bring a person into the Kingdom of God. Lord, I want to hide your Word in my heart so that the Holy Spirit can bring it to remembrance at all the right times, that the words that come forth from my mouth would honor you and point other people to you. May you be lifted high and exalted, praised, and worshipped above all. In Jesus' name. Amen.

~Isaiah 32:3~
Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

Crack and Flaws

I thank my God every time I remember you.
-Philippians 1:3

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of pole which she carried across her neck.One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day.

The old woman smiled, " Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them .... For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

LESSON : Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.


I've learnt that I just got to take each person, every single one of them for what they are and look for the good in them. Remember that we are sinners, and we have our weaknesses too.

How evil?

I thank my God every time I remember you.
-Philippians 1:3





You Are 6% Evil



You are good. So good, that you make evil people squirm.

Just remember, you may need to turn to the dark side to get what you want!



haha... I did this survey just for fun. This is funny... 6% evil is still evil right? All have fallen short of God's glory. THat's why we need salvation!
