Lord, I thank you for what you have given to me...

Father Lord in heaven, today I just want to talk to You right here at this place. Lord, firstly I wanna give you thank for being my provider, saviour and be my Lord. When I looked back at the past, I seen things have go differently; or may be I should say I have change!! Praise the Lord. I have learned to control my temper; learned to be more patient; learned to think and care for others; and most importantly I've learned to love God and serve Him. When I think about that, I really really feel extremely happy and joy in my heart because this is the best thing that I could ever do in my life! But, Lord sometimes I do make mistakes; sometimes....I've done the thing that doesn't please to Your eyes. Lord, You know You are truly a perfect father, a father that has abundance love for me, as a daughter of God. Lord, there's no words to describe your great heart of forgiveness that every time I have sin, You would forgive me and hold on me. You tell us that every time we fall or fail, You will hold us through. If we follow Your steps and live in Your ways, You will lead us to the righteous path. Father Lord, this few days I don't know why I felt uncomfortable every night if I do not have my devotion time with You. And until today, coming to this moment, I just feel like I want a personal talk to you Lord in this way. Lord, I want to commit everything including myself unto Your hands, Lord I pray that You will forgive my sin and lead me to the road that Your already plan for me. Lord, I will try my best to do it. And Lord, year 2011 is coming to an end, and Lord, I pray that You will grant the visions in my heart. I want to have a breakthrough in giving, just like what Dr Robb Thompson said, "Never love money more than Jesus." I also pray that I will get involved in helping the children under privilege, and orphans. Lord, I will do my part by taking a step out in doing what I can do and I believed that You will do Your part for it. Lord, I give you thank for everything once again, and thank you for giving me the strength. I pray all these in Jesus mighty name, Amen!

Turn to your neighbor and say, “Is time to give.” I would like to share a story with all of you. Two days ago, in the afternoon, I had an English class with my 6 year-old children. We were singing songs and at the mean time, I am explaining the meaning of the lyrics to them one-by-one. When it came to one song which is about pet, children felt very excited discussing about it. Since I see they were so interested to talk about pet, then I asked the children who has pet at home. They rose up their hands and take turns to share their story about their pet at home. After sharing, it is my turn to share my story with them. I told my children I saw a very cute rabbit in one shopping mall and I described the rabbit to them. Then, there was one child asking me whether I bought the rabbit or not. I said, “No, because it is too expensive.” He asked again, “Teacher, how much?” I told him it was RM800, and he was shocked. He told me he only has RM300. I smiled at him. In a short while, guess what he said? “Teacher, I give you the money to buy the rabbit okay.” I was so touched by him. From this point you can see the little boy is so naïve and caring. Perhaps the child still does not understand the value of the money, but, he just said from the bottom of his heart that he wants to give me the money to buy the rabbit since I wanted it so much. He is caring for others more than himself. Friends, a 6 year-old boy could do that, what about us as the sons and daughters of God. Amen!! When we give, we give from the bottom of our heart, that is what calls faith!! Our god has always kept His promise to us, so what about our promise to Him? So friends, are u ready to be a faithful giver today? Let’s give our very best to God. Amen!!
