Butterfly!:)

Today I wanna talk about butterfly.I heard about it in one of the sermons so I decided to share about it in this blog!:)
A butterfly transformed from a cocoon.:)What's a cocoon?According to Wikipedia,a cocoon is a PUPA which is known as the life stage of some insects UNDERGOING TRANSFORMATION!
 |
| *The transformation of cocoons* |
We,Christians are BUTTERFLIES that transformed from COCOONS that was formerly CATERPILLARS!
2nd Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if ANYONE is in CHRIST,he is a NEW CREATION;the OLD has done,the NEW has come!
The fact is butterflies have freedom to fly while caterpillars do not have.So,we are not caterpillar with wings.We are truly butterflies. You were under the control of sins but now YOU ARE FREE as Jesus Christ had died for YOU!Therefore,You are of NEW IDENTITY!
But what amazed me was...
'Why a butterfly that had changed to a butterfly still behave like a caterpillar?
Why are we still behaving like a sinner when we are already have Christ in US?
Sometimes we live as in we are having the casing of the cocoons and forget we are already a butterfly.The fact that we still have FLESH (our body,old memory,old habits) ,it's tempting us to lead the old ways,to live like how we want and not live the way He wants for us.
A good example would be sexual desire where it is to be satisfied.The flesh would want it so badly that it leads to problems such as pornography addiction but the FLESH satisfaction is only for a period of time.Therefore,we will watch pornography videos again when the need/desire reoccur again.
So,cast this needs unto Lord because He can supply it. In Him,all the needs can be supplied!:)
So,cast this needs unto Lord because He can supply it. In Him,all the needs can be supplied!:)
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
So live like a butterfly and not caterpillar.Do not call yourselves 'A worm/caterpillar with wings'..coz you are a butterfly as You are transformed in Him. Run to Him if you have needs that need to satisfied/supplied and not do it in YOUR own way!:) He'll be there because our GOD WILL WORK,CHANGE and TRANFORM You!:)
John 1:12-13
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Just got back from PKA Family Camp. Actually volunteered to be in charge in the Program and Prayer. Learnt so much about importance of prayers and how it actually connects me to God.The process of making this camp,a good camp-I’ve learnt to submit it unto Him. Try to do things His way and not mine.Just tried my best and He will do the rest.
Been constantly selfish before this camp. Had kept myself in the room, pondering what’s the cause of my decrease rate of capacity of loving people. Found the causes. Expectations is one of the main reasons.:) But God taught me a lesson-His faithfulness. It was a great lesson. That He will continue to shower His Love upon me even when I do things my own way. Even when I turn my back and couldn’t lift up my head to see Him in my life.
It’s remarkably awesome that He made me different. I don’t know how to explain what happened.Just ‘Thank you Lord for everything.THANK YOU!!’
Psalm 36:5
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Rainbow.

Prove me that a rainbow is beautiful.
Another man replied,
Well,it's red and green.
The first man said,
I don't like green and red together.
The second man continued replying:
But the way they are in the rainbow,it's beautiful!I've never heard of anyone who thought a rainbow was ugly.When you are able to actually LOOK AT IT YOURSELF,then i don't need to say anymore.You've SEEN it,you've EXPERIENCED it and you KNOW it's beautiful.
Faith is like that.Eventually you have to move out and do it.BY THE WAY,faith is not a NOUN(in the gospel of John),it's VERB.Thus,faith is action.So when we begin to do FAITH,God begins to validate it.And the further we follow the journey,the more we KNOW it's true.

I am going back tomorrow to Melaka.I have been waiting for this day, just spend my time with my family.Talking about semester 1,year 2..there were many things that changed.Of course relationships changed as well.I cannot stop thinking who I am close now compared to when I was in first year.Decisions that I made lead to where I am now.Sometimes,I felt sad letting go of some relationships.But letting go is a part of maturing too,right?
Juniors came,seniors gone.Took the role of taking care juniors,care more and showing more love towards people.It was all about receiving but now,giving.It's not easy.Not easy but I know it is worthwhile.Not easy when I have to learn to accept and correcting them in a way that I am concern about them and not condemning them.But they taught me in a way.So many lessons I learn to better myself.
Still,I will not give up in what I want to do.Impacting people's lives.But not forgetting,impacting people's lives through Him.I believe I did but there are more to come.:)
The end of my 2nd year,1st sem.Feeling afraid,honestly by the time.But yeah,He will tell me what to do.=)
Gracias,Lord.

First semester is finishing soon.Approximately 4days to go.Trying to catch up with people especially the one that I haven't been contacting.Thoughts came into my mind.Not good ones.But I remembered what Pastor Sam said , 'When bad thoughts come rushing into your mind,THINK OF GOD's goodness.' Therefore, I always look unto His goodness.Be it failures or anything.I read 2nd Samuel on Absalom being killed by Joab and David was mourning hard.I am sure Heavenly Dad would be very sad if His children falling further from Him but the special thing about Heavenly Dad is that He waits FAITHFULLY.NEVER LET YOU GO!It's true that I thought of lot lately especially commitments-where should I focus next year?And yes,I found my answers.Thank you,Lord.For relationships,I am really thankful for the people around me-be it Christians and non-Christians--all impacted me in a way,creating beautiful and unforgettable memories during my university life.
I told a friend of mine that I fear of making close friends because I am afraid of letting go after I leave this university.She said,' You should enjoy each relationship you are having now.Don't back yourself because of the fear.' .I forgot God gave me those friends.I should love and impact them in every way that I can to help them ---to demonstrate HIS love.He gave me this gift which myself do not understand too.But it is indeed special.
Found myself in Him again.Thank you ,Heavenly Dad for everything...;)
Love unfailing
Overtaking my heart
You take me in
Finding peace again
Fear is lost in all You are
And I would give the world to tell Your story
Cause I know that You've called me
I know that You've called me
I've lost myself for good within Your promise
I won't hide it
I won't hide it
Jesus, I believe in You
And I would go to the ends of the earth
To the ends of the earth
For You alone are the Son of God
And all the world will see
That You are God
You are God.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

This is my first post in 2012.*proud*.I am having final examination.2012 has been the same as 2011.(as much as now).Lately,I think I am getting serious.Thought just pondered itself in my mind.There are things that I shouldn't think.I want to break the walls.The walls that I have been struggling all this while.I don't know.I am consider as 22years old now.There are things that I want to do,want to achieve with God,especially.But maybe I am expecting a lot?I am expecting a lot now that I am afraid to do resolutions.
I miss being with family-talking to my sister because she knows me the best.I think I just feel out of place lately.It's not about friends.It's personal.I felt different.I felt I lost 'it'.
Perhaps, I miss Him.
''Someone once told me,that if you think your life is stagnant now.God is doing something in you life,something big.''
May this stagnation overcome with breaking of walls.A closer gap.
