Even The King Surrendered To The Servant
“For God so loved the world that He gave …” —John 3:16
March 13, 2012
What I learned from today’s devotion is that it is not only me that does the surrendering, God has already surrendered Himself to us by totally giving Himself to us (John 3:16).
Being Christian, I used to be so focused on being pure, not sinning but what I learned now is that if I totally surrendered...
Should I Give Up Or Should I Just Keep Chasing...
“Peter began to say to Him, ’See, we have left all and followed You’” —Mark 10:28

Sorry for the long title but it makes sense as I go through with what I learned today.
Total Surrender
I learned today that surrendering to God is not for my benefit and I am not talking about financial gain, happier life… but even down to my salvation, my deliverance from sin and...
Don't Feel Like I Am Walking With Jesus?
“Do you also want to go away?” —John 6:67
March 9, 2012
There are times where I am so spiritually low. I would be serving God through my commitments at church but it would only feel like I am working for Him and not with Him. I have come to realize that I am usually like this when I got so much things in my mind, when I am thinking and worrying about things.
Being with God truly...
This Is Sparta!
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” —Romans 8:37
March 7, 2012
On moments that are not so positive, what am I at the time? Am I a coward who’s afraid to face the challenges or one who ignores them? or am I the champion God has called me to be and rejoice over these hard times?
If “I can do all things through Christ who gives me...
What Would You, Me, Jesus Do?
“… in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses” —2 Corinthians 6:4
March 6, 2012
During hard/bad times… what is it that I or we normally think of? Is it automatic stress? blame? anger? sadness?
As a person with a different understanding, or seeing life in a different way, my reaction is should also be different. Just like the famous bracelet...
Loving So Much It Hurts
“He said to him the third time, ’… do you love Me?’” —John 21:17
March 2, 2012
Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurts? It gets to the point where at that moment of hurting, you realize you love that person far more than you could ever express.
Honestly for me, I am starting to feel this way. Yes, I am continuously evolving as a Christian. I went from the person who...
If God Asked You..
“Do you love Me?” —John 21:17
March 1, 2011
As I continue to learn with my current struggles, this question can really pierce through my heart and soul.
I am in a tug of war with my worldly worries and trusting God. It hurts to think because in a way, I love God and yet I am here worrying about my application at Emily Carr, money, career, life, family. It has been an ongoing test on...

A Cry Out To My Father
February 29, 2012
For some odd reason, the source of my daily verse doesn’t have a bible verse for today but instead talked about believing that God can do the impossible.
So here I am now writing my devotion as a cry out to God:
Lord, forgive me for limiting You… for somewhat being skeptical when time and time again you have shown that You can do the impossible. I am facing...
The Limit of God's Power
“Where then do You get that living water?” —John 4:11
February 27, 2012
What did I learn from this verse?.. Well, what I got from this is that I am responsible for limiting God’s power in my life. Yes, I do go to Him for comfort and to sympathize with me but do I forget that He is also almighty? That nothing is impossible with my God.
When things get hard, I have to be able to...
Geeking Out
After watching the movie Chronicle:
Others: I want to be able to do that! (referring to telekinetic powers)
Me: I want to be able to do that… in After Effects!
Ugh, having the idea of “I can possibly do that” is like a disease lol.

Every Success Has Its First Step
“Arise from the dead” …—Ephesians 5:14
February 16, 2012
What I learned from this verse is that God has given me life after I took the first step. God can say to me “arise” but without taking the initiative to actually rise up… I won’t arise for God doesn’t force anyone to do anything for Him.
Looking back it does directly apply and prove that...
Temporary Happiness VS Eternal Joy
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.

Brother's Keeper
“None of us lives to himself …” —Romans 14:7
February 15, 2012
What does it mean to live selfishly? How can I be the salt and light to the world if I keep God’s grace for myself? How can I be used to transform people if I hide away on my own comfortability?
What I learned from this verse is that I have to be more and more of a brother’s keeper. As I have been...
When Do We Stay Quiet? When Do We Talk?
“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops” —Matthew 10:27
February 14, 2012
What I learned from this verse is to be in the right state to talk about what God is saying or has said to other people. Many and even I have fallen to this, speak words of God-filled wisdom and yet… I or we are in the dark. The message...
Have You Heard God's Voice Today?
“Samuel answered, ’Speak, for Your servant hears’” —1 Samuel 3:10
February 13, 2012
I admit that there were lots of times where I did not hear God and I usually mistakenly wonder that maybe God is not talking to me and yet maybe it is I not hearing God. Sometimes the temptations, the things I want completely blinds me from hearing God’s voice. Could it be the lack of fear?...
