Love the end of the year.

God never fails to bring everything into perspective.

We are reminded of the fundamentals of our faith - love, joy, surrender.

³ All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. ⁴ He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. ⁵ For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (New Living Translation)

You looked inside my fantasies
And made each one come true
Something no one else had ever found a way to do
I've kept the mem'ries one by one
Since you took me in
I know I'll never love this way again

I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holdin' on
Before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on

A fool will lose tomorrow
Reaching back for yesterday
I won't turn my head in sorrow
If you should go away
I'll stand here and remember
Just how good it's been
And I know I'll never love this way again

Dinner with the Macaronis from RM was nice
and here's what I learnt.

6 years of primary school,
4 years of secondary school,
2 years of junior college,
2 years of national service,
3/4/5 years of university
That's what we have to go through to be used by God in the future.

You never know when Pythagoras' Theorem, Law of Diminishing Returns, Arm-lock and Handcuffing Technique, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs might come in handy.
You never know.

God says:
I have preserved for you my written Word, as a perfect lens to see me for who I am. Read its pages to know me, so you can reflect what you see of me. Become intimate with me and through our close relationship together you will enjoy the true meaning of living, for you will bear fruit of my nature-love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Thats all I ask of you. Leave the rest to me.

I say:
Ok.

We were created to live happy, fulfilled lives. We were made to know the gratifying joy of being accepted, approved of and appreciated, with the ability to freely love and be loved. We were designed to experience a fulfillment and satisfaction beyond measure, a contentment and peace beyond understanding, and an abundant life beyond belief.

I know You have an awesome plan for me. Thank You for creating emotions and feelings to savor the ups and downs (oh they hurt a lot) so I might see Your love and glory.
