I was actually having a difficult day yesterday. I wasn’t happy when I was driving. Things just weren’t going well. Then you came along and your motivation motivated me. You encouraged me, made me laugh, laughed at my jokes. You were serious with me, honest, and even got mad at my inappropriate jokes. Which was cute. You showed so much kindness and patience. It was really good for my soul. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I’m doing much better now emotionally. Thank you.

Things are changing for you. Yet you aren’t adapting well. A little more discipline will really help you a lot with life struggle you’re facing now. Trust me.

You’ve changed as well. Things that you once thought was important has become less important. You’ve forgotten your loves and motivation. You let your peers influence you. You’ve allowed people to mold your character.

You were once the leader. The one who wasn’t afraid to be different to stand for what you believed in. You’re the one people looked up to. Not me. You were the one people opened up to when they had problems.

Don’t give that up. You still have it in you. You’ve still got everything God has given you. God doesn’t give us gifts for ourselves. But always for the benefit of others. You’re definitely one of those multi gifted ones.

Run towards God. Serve. Lead. Rise. Stay strong. Keep your heart, character and attitude pure. That’s the real you I see when I look at you.

Blood Sacrifice

I notice that my visitor count isn’t as high as it used to be. Maybe there’s just a lot of nice blogs out there to read. Maybe people think it’s a pain to read blogs overall.

I haven’t updated too much in a while. And they aren’t really too deep thinking or things that stir your thought too much. So I actually don’t expect much traffic here.

We could keep it at that. It’s not like this is a fashion blog or a sports or news blog. It’s just my life. And ‘Aaron’ isn’t really a category for blogging or social entertainment. So this blog is just for you people who are interested in my life.

Hello!

I overheard this conversation I was involved in yesterday (it was held in Bahasa Malaysia):

Guy: Isn’t she pretty?

Lady at counter: Yes she is. Why haven’t you asked her to be your girlfriend?

BOOM

I couldn’t help but laugh at him inside.

Have any of you seen Inside Out yet? The new Pixar movie. I want to!

Oh yeah, Mission Impossible is out too, if I’m not mistaken.

Oh and I heard that Channing Tatum may quit from doing the Gambit movie.

Oh and I recently added Buttersafe into my list of bookmarks at work. So I have something to relax my mind before I have to dive back in to work.

Leviticus 17:11

 for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible.

Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Up, Down, Down

Sometimes I think I got my spiritual day figured out. I praise God for the day, then I tell myself that I won’t sin or fall into temptation. I plan my routes around temptation, and have all my escapes figured out in case I get in it. I’ve prayed and done my bible reading. But then, it can turn out to be the worse most undisciplined day of my life.

I sin, I cheat, I lie. I look at things I shouldn’t. I tempt others. I say regretful things. I let my emotions overwhelm me. I let my selfishness control my actions. What is up with me?

How can things make such a different turn in only a few hours? How is my Master going to say ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant’? I’m such a horrible steward of my body, emotions, mind, spirit, career, ministry, influences, and even the material things I have. Is ‘Perfect’ achievable?

I need to forget myself. Less of me and more of Him. More of the Holy Spirit’s power. Less of my strengths and strives.

I’m encouraged that even Paul says he’s not perfect. But instead he changes his attitude. He wants to look forward. To press on. I’ll have to keep praising God. And keep trying.

Philippians 3:7-14

I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.  Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.  I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!

 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.  No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,  I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Thanksgiving And Prayer for Malaysia

~ doctorbutterfly ~ Leave a comment

Paul has lots of good examples of prayer. So I’ll be using certain words in a blessing he wrote to the church of Colossae for my prayer for Malaysia. Colossians 1:3-14

God, I thank you that the church has started a movement to pray for Malaysia. That’s pretty cool. Intercessors covering this beloved country in prayer 24/7. Lord, I thank You for the confidence we can have, that we have a special place just for us in heaven and in eternal fellowship with You. No matter what, Your love and grace and mercy and word will reign.

I thank You that Your grace and good news is being spread through our local church to the world! That Malaysians can be part of praising You boasting of You to the world. I pray that the word of truth set people free and bear fruit by changing lives. Let Your word be heard and understood. Let there be a renewing of the mind so that transformation may take place in the lives of all Malaysians. And then to all the world.

Lord, please give all Malaysians complete knowledge of Your will. Open our eyes and ears to Your spiritual wisdom and understanding. Also, close connection to evil spirits in this land. May the way we live honor and please You. May our lives produce every kind of good fruit. Because all good fruit come from You. I pray that all Malaysians grow in You more and more each day. That each of us will grow into strong, healthy, fruitful trees.

Dear God, strengthen us through Your glory and power, so that we may have patience and endure what is to come. Teach us to be ever thankful, so that we may be filled with joy! Thank You that You enabled each of us, no matter who we are, to live pure and holy lives, so that we can share in the inheritance that belongs to all Your children. Because You sent Your son to die for each and every one of us. You sent Jesus, who has purchased us from all darkness and shame, forgave us of our sins, and transferred us into His Kingdom.

Thank You Lord for Malaysia. Though we need a lot more work and refining before we get anywhere close to a perfect country, Lord, do not forsake us. Guide us, hold us, mold us. And in the end, may Your Glory SHINE without fail from Malaysia. May we be a sweet incense and a pleasing music to You.

In Jesus name, Amen.
