    Witnessing for Jesus @ 9:10 PM

    =
    Night after night in bed I lie
    And listen to the trains as they go by
    The sound of the whistle gives me a thrill
    To see what's on the other side of the hill

    Look up at the moon and the star-filled sky
    Get me a plane and away I will fly
    Find me a ship and stoke up the steam
    To travel the world would be a dream

    Here comes a diesel; a ticket I'll buy
    And circle the earth under God's blue sky
    From childhood up that's the way I felt
    But I'll play the hand that I was dealt

    There's more to life than meets the eye
    And whatever He asks I will comply
    No time to retire and set in the sun
    It's fun to dream but there is work to be done

    He never sinned once; it was His will to die
    For me He gave His life to be crucified
    One day on the cross He removed my sin
    Then He rose again the battle to win

    All that's inside me I will apply
    To work for Him until I die
    To those who are lost I will campaign
    To bring them to Jesus and be born again

    If you listen my friend you can hear their cry
    The millions who want to qualify
    To pull themselves up from that sinful rut
    To open the door they think is shut

    Take all the gold on earth and you cannot buy
    A tiny piece of that heavenly pie
    Believing in Jesus is the only way
    To know His laws and to obey

    He will remove your sin, do not be shy
    Ask Jesus to help and He will occupy
    Your heart, emotions, and your life
    And kill the flesh that's causing you strife

    There is none more important than the One up high
    It's Jesus you need to edify
    A few simple words is all it takes to commit
    A new way of life that will benefit

    "Jesus come into my life and rectify
    The wrongs I have done without alibi
    Forgive all the sins I have committed
    Everything that Your Commandments prohibited"

    "You are the Son of God I cannot deny
    Fill me with Your Spirit to purify
    Give me Your promises and Your Grace
    I'm tired of running the Devil's race"

    Say the above words and do not lie
    And He will be there to sanctify
    The only requirement is to believe
    And Christ will stay with you; He will never leave

    And now my friend on you I rely
    To witness to others and testify
    The harvest is great and the laborers few
    And the help I need will come from you

    LOVE WAS WHEN @ 3:19 PM

    Love was when God became a man,
    Locked in time and space, without rank or place.

    Love was God, born of Jewish kin,
    Just a carpenter with some fisherman.

    Love was when Jesus walked in history,
    Lovingly He brought a new life that's free.

    Love was God nailed to bleed and die,
    To reach and love one such as i.

    Love was when God became a man,
    Down where i could see love that reached to me.

    Love was God dying for my sin,
    And so trapped was i; my whole world caved in.

    Love was when Jesus rose to walk with me,
    Lovingly He brought a new life that's free.

    Love was God only He could try,
    To reach and love one such as i.

    faith, hope and love, among all, the greatest is love...

    shuyiii... take care ppl..

    Found this article somewhere in the internet. may read it. quite nice. (:

    Nothing Left But the Center Stripe, by Phil Ware

    Big bright orange signs were on each side of the road on our dividedstreet. The sign on the right side said, “Left Lane Closed Ahead.” Thesign on the left side said, “Right Lane Closed Ahead.” “Hmmm,” Ithought to myself, “That leaves nothing but the center stripe; wonderwhere I’m supposed to drive?”

    Then I got to thinking in that warped way that I often do, and itoccurred to me that I have found myself in several life situations thatlooked very similar. No option on the right. No option on the left. Andeven the option straight ahead seems awfully tenuous and narrow,without much room to navigate.

    The term for this kind of situational thinking is “constriction.”Constriction happens when we feel like our options are reduced to oneor two bad possibilities. It’s either “this” or “that,” and “this” ishorrible while “that” is disastrous. As they say in my neck of thewoods, “stuck between a rock and a hard place.” You're stuck withnothing left but the center stripe!

    As a friend, counselor, and minister dealing with someone who is hungon constricted thinking, I am supposed to use several strategies tohelp them gather their senses, avoid making a hasty decision in panic,and prevent them from doing something rash. I try to use these samestrategies when I find myself in the same boat.

    The first strategy is DELAY. Keep from making a rash move by waiting.As a Christian, my waiting is not inaction; it is waiting on the Lord (Isaiah40:28-31). It is time for prayer and for seeking God’s will inScripture. Often I cannot see the real situation and all the otherpossible options because I’m so caught up in the miseries of themoment. In my driving situation where it appeared both lanes were goingto be closing down, I reduced my speed, drove on carefully, and when Ireached the next set of signs, I realized that it was just the leftlane that was going to be closed; the Velcro strip had just come offthe first sign and so it gave the wrong information. So often in thehaste of the moment, we don’t have all the facts or have misperceivedthe situation. A prayerful delay for a short time allows us to refocusand opens our heart so God can show us another way.

    A second strategy for constrictive thinking is DISTRIBUTE. So often,strong people, Christian people, are the ones that help others and havegreat difficulty when they have very challenging problems because theydo not know how to ask for help. Some pious sounding pride keeps themfrom sharing their problems with others because they considerthemselves the helper and not the person needing help. God gave ALL ofus a Christian family for support. Sooner or later, we’re all going toface problems too big for us to handle alone. Seeking the prayer,support, and accountability of other Christians helps us distribute theproblem, reducing the sense of load we have to carry by ourselves andinvolving others in helping us find other options and solutions to oursituation. (This includes consulting a Christian counselor if we can’tget the corner turned on our situation quickly!)

    Another strategy is DELIGHT. Finding something humorous in oursituation and laughing at the humorous side of what is going on can bea helpful pause in our crisis and allows us to gather our senses. Doingsomething we nearly always have fun doing can refresh us and break thelogjam in our thinking. Spending time in refreshing worship or goingwith others on a spiritual retreat can be ways to open the doorway tospiritual delight and restore our energy and sense of balance. Simplyloosening our mental grip on a difficult situation and letting Godrefresh us with his grace can often help us see things in a differentlight and find a solution that had remained hidden to us.

    No matter which strategy we try, an essential part of each of them iscontinuing to DO what is RIGHT. When no way seems clear and all ourchoices seem hopeless, sometimes we have to keep trudging on, doingwhat we know is the right thing even when we don’t feel like it.Engaging the other strategies become self-defeating if we don’t followthrough with what we need to do — both our daily responsibilities as aperson and our Christian responsibilities as a child of God.

    Do these strategies work in every situation? Yes, to a certain extent.However, life has some built-in very hard realities that none of us isgoing to escape and some of these can cascade into problems thatdestroy us. So if you cannot execute these strategies on your own, orif you still feel overwhelmed after trying them, PLEASE see a minister,counselor, or friend and let that person know you urgently need help.Satan tries to isolate us from other Christians and from Christian helpwhen he wants to destroy us whether by direct attack, disease, or death(see Mark 5 for three groups of people who had come to the end theiroptions and how Jesus intervened to bring help). Don’t let the evil onedo that with you; if you are going under, get help. If you have afriend going under, please get them help. While it may seem there isnothing but the center stripe open ahead, God wants to help us find thepath that brings us hope, healing, holiness, and heaven. Don’t quitlooking until you find it!

    god bless. (:
