NO.1 – To put yourself in others’ shoes
This is the best way to feel how the other party you care about feels. If you would humble yourselves and bring yourself to the level of the person, you would feel how one feel. You can literally feel hurt, sad, happy, angry and such when you are in someone’s shoes.
NO. 2 – Have Faith for things that are unseen
It is said from the Bible that for all things that are unseen is eternal. And if it is eternal, it is perfect. And if it’s perfect, who doesn’t want? All the prayers we are asking for might be a want for most of the time and note that God wants to give it to you because He loves you. And because He love you so much, giving it to you just after a prayer is made might not be feasible as God might deem so. In the meantime, instead of complaining, why not have Faith that you are always one day closer to your prayer requests?
NO. 3 – Wait
God’s specialty, humans’ weakness. We are impatient most of the time. What we want, we want it now – which might not be the case that God would compromise with you for He can see the future. If He can see the future and we can’t, He will definitely give us the best of the best at the Right time where everything will fall in place nicely according to His wonderful plan.
NO. 4 – To reap a Harvest you want/need, sow the seed of it
If you want others to help you, help others. When you help others, a seed is sowed and God will see it. When a seed is sow healthily, it will grow and we will harvest the fruit of it. And in the future, when you needed help, God will send someone there to be waiting to help you.
NO. 5 – For every Trial, it hides a blessing
Never complain for the trials you are going through for you are going to be super-thankful to God when the blessings from the trials come. The blessing will be so great that is beyond your imagination to perceive!
NO. 6 – Always be thankful for ALL circumstances and situations
It’s never enough to thank God for everything He created, did and does for you. Even IF that is nothing to be thankful about, God still deserves our praise and thanks-giving. For He is the most high.
NO. 7 – Choose to be happy
If you are sad for a reason, don’t dwell in it. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring you out of the ‘sad zone’, lift you spirit and be happy. Being happy is not a mere emotion, it is a choice that you and I can make. Trust me, it’s a hard lesson and I am still trying hard to change my way of thinking in order to make a wise decision to be happy. Although it might seems awkward to be happy at a unhappy moment, just remember that God wants you to be happy always for Phil 4:4 says Rejoice in the Lord always!
And many more…

Being Green
Perhaps the colour green has become part of my life unknowingly. It’s not my favourite colour but somehow it managed to blend in, gradually. Training recruits, doing duties, going for exercises and trainings programmes are all that is revolving around me. They keep me so busy that losing my tantrums seems so easy. My, my, I guess I really need the time to rejuvenate my spiritual, mental and physical senses asap.
________________________________________________________________ >> The 24 Hours
I felt that I have been missing a lot of things lately. And there’s an urge for me to want to catch up with the rest of the people that I used to spend time with. There’s still a lot of things I need to do. Rick warren, the author of the book ‘Purpose Driven Life’ once said something like this: The 24 hours God gave us daily is definitely enough for us to accomplish everything + all the time you need for God. If the day is not enough for you to spend, something is very wrong.
________________________________________________________________ >>WAIT!
When you ask God for anything, there will always be 3 types of answers God will give. That is – Yes, No and Wait. Apparently, my answers to all my prayers is always wait.
My blessings for all the trials I am going through is storing up gradually. God is stock-piling my blessings for my future, I can feel it. Just cant wait to experience it!
Agape
Rejoice is the Lord ALWAYS
