It's not how we start the race... but how we finish the race..
Jus finish LM, now in science canteen studying... hmmm... I really thank God for the friends i have in crusade. Really thank God that in times of need and upsetness, i have friends whom i can share with and they will encourage me. As i was sharing with my friends just now, suddenly i realise that spiritual warefare is so real, the devil is always trying to put us down by putting bad thoughts in our head, telling us that we're not good enough, telling us that we're defeated. Guess we really ought to differentiate the difference between God's voice and the Devil's voice. I've learn that it's not hard to differentiate cos God will never put bad thoughts in our mind.I was just sharing with my friends how much i wanna crush saturn, how much i detest him. Indeed when we're really close to God, saturn is jealous. So Christians out there, let's perservere together. It's not how we start the race, but it's how we finish the race... let's remember that even in hard pressed times...The bible says...
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. " 1 John 4:4
Though emotionally i'm really down but i know the joy of the Lord is with me. There's actually a difference between joy and happiness... Happiness is affected by external factors but joy comes within you. Let us always be filled with the joy of the Lord no matter what circumstances we are in....
"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD , I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights." Habakkuk 3:17 -19
