My heart saddened when i read the email regarding uncle sank returning to the Lord. He was the longest serving staff and he modeled for all of us how to walk by faith and he served God zealously in all stations of his life. Though i might not have come in contact with him personally, i have seen and heard stories of how he gave his all to serve God in the internet ministry of Campus Crusade.

This got me thinking about how quickly this life will pass away and if i am giving my best in this call that God has for me in this season of my life right now. I pray that i will finish this race well, just like uncle sank.

Attended dawn prayer just a while ago in Republic poly together with the students and we were sharing about God's love and also about trying to attain and fulfill the expectations of people at times. And jacob got us this article that really ministered to me as i spent time to digest and allow the word of God to sink in.

Phil 3:12 " not that i have already attained, or am already perfect. But i press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. But one thing i do, forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."

My utmost for His Highest

Christian Perfection

it is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do-God's purpose is to make us one with Himself. The emphasis of holiness movements tends to be that God is producing specimens of holiness to put in His museum.If you accept this concept of personal holiness,your life's determined purpose will not be for God, but for what you call the evidence of God in your life. How can we say ' it could never be God's will for me to be sick? it if was God's will to bruise his own son(isaiah 53:10) Why shouldn't He bruise you?what shines forth and reveals God in your life is not your relative consistency to an idea of what a saint should be, but your genuine, living relationship with Jesus Christ, and your unrestrained devotion to Him whether you are sick or well.

Christian perfection is not, and never will be human perfection. Christian perfection is the perfection of a relationship with God that shows itself true even amid the seemingly unimportant aspects of human life. When you obey the call of Jesus Christ, the first things that hits you is the pointlessness of the things that you have to do. The next thought that strikes you is that other people seem to be living perfectly consistent lives. Such lives may leave you with the idea that God is unnecessary-- that through your own human effort and devotion you can attain God's standard for your life. In this fallen world this can never be done. I can called to live in such a perfect relationship with God that it produces a yearning for God in the lives of others,not admiration for yourself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. Hod's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase.He is getting me to the place where he can use me. Let Him do what He wants.

-learnt that i don't have to be 'perfect' or good enough to be used by God wherever im being placed at.

-to have that unrestrained devotion to God no matter i'm well of sick . Maintaining a genuine and living relationship daily with God=))

in this new year.. i need to look like this!

hah. a good friend drew this for me. =)))

Barely a few days into this new year and i already feel that i have to shoulder more and more responsibilities in work and at home. And there are times when i wonder how i can go on without feeling discouraged.

BUT God is ever so faithful and loving towards me. =) He reminded me again last sunday during worship through a song that ' when fear and doubt press in. I can trust in His unfailing love. No matter what may come my way, i can trust in His unfailing love."

Im sure that this year will be challenging yet rewarding. =))

SO Chinny press on!

"We are hard pressed on every side , but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair;persecuted, but not abandoned;struck down,but not destroyed."
