I [ ] You

I was supposed to post this last month but was too busy to do so. Actually wanted to post about something else today, but thought of finishing the unfinished work :)

I [   ] You

One day, a friend of mine posted on FB and asked us, what is the missing word between "I" and "You" that would make you feel touched?

Well, I was a bit tired and bored that day so decided to give a reply. The first word that came to my mind was ~ "need". LOL, this is not too creative I guess because someone has already put that word. So I needed to put on my thinking cap and think again, alas ~ trust! So I replied my comment.

I think there are a lot of words that can be filled in, amongst others:-

LOVE

MISS

NEED

TRUST

BELIEVE 

SUPPORT

HELP

APPRECIATE

ADMIRE

GIVE

FORGIVE

HUG

LIKE

CHOOSE

PAMPER

KISS

ENCOURAGE

NOTICE

FOUND

CARESS

FAVOUR

REMEMBER

KNOW

OFFER

WANT

LISTEN (to)

BE (with)

CARE (for)

WAIT (on / for)

COUNT (on)

HOLD (onto)

FALL (for)

STAND (by)

Well, the above are just few words that I could think of =) Some may need more words to be filled in to have a touchy feeling :P

W.W.J.D.

W.W.J.D.

The first time I was exposed to this was back in year 1998 or 1999. Wow, that was like, so many years ago! I was in Church Camp and they sold those little accessories with Bible verses as well as meaningful phrases, such as this.

W.W.J.D. ~ What Would Jesus Do?

I posted this on my FB today and my Pastor answered, "Jesus will always do the right thing!"

So, if there is one question on my mind now, it would be this~

W.W.J.D.

Back then, there was a sermon on this, and I recalled it today. I was taught, in our decision making process, we often think about ourselves, and make our decision based on a lot of factors. Today, as I was chatting with a sister, and she reminded me of this important point ~ if Jesus were in this situation, what would He do?

W.W.J.D.

Jesus, if You were in my shoe, what would You do?

Holy Spirit, I seek Your guidance.

Abba Father, please speak to me and open my ears to listen to Your great voice, and open my eyes to see Your vision.

In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.

Today's Feelings

Hm, how do I feel about today. It is a weird feeling though. I was hesitating whether to attend the 08:30 service because I feel like attending the 09:30 service. In the end, I dragged myself to attend the 08:30 service. I was late and when I entered the Church, I saw CLAY's SMS informing that she had reserved a seat for me. I went to her when I reached and started joining the P&W session.

How great is our Lord! My heart was touched by God's presence and tears just rolled down without any force. I felt near to Him again. However, I could not really concentrate on the sermon today because my heart was thinking about the 09:30 service which I was going to join thereafter.

I had mixed feeling when I entered the Church and sat for quite some time to wait for service to over. My purpose today is to inform few leaders of a recent decision which I have made. Strangely, after the service, I need not make any explanation and it seems that people know about my decision even before I announced it.

I was surprised to find out about this, as I have not confirmed on that particular decision and was wondering how people came up to this conclusion. At first I thought it was my parents, but after having a chat with them, I realised that they did not say anything; in fact, someone informed them of this piece of news.

People say, fire spread very fast. I feel that gossip spreads like fire too.

The bigger the fire, the faster it spreads; same goes to gossip.

I remember this game, "Chinese Whisper"; the first person who listened to the sentence would need to repeat it to the next person in line and the last person is to repeat whatever that has been said to him or her.The outcome could be exactly the same, but most of the time, there would be modifications to the original sentence.

Lesson is, to ask the original person instead of trying to finding it out from a third party, because only the person involved know the true story.

I believe that, speculations and assumptions would actually make the matter worse, complicated and confusing. Agree?
