Commitment
In Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot states, "Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him, why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention?"
The Heart of Life
John Mayer
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
Focus
"Remember who the enemy is." - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Many times we were so distracted we cannot recognise who the real enemy is.
Focus! Focus on the I AM and let Him shape you into the I am that He has intended you to be.
Talk to Him. Listen attentively to His voice. Taste and see that He is good.
Observe your Sabbath so you won't miss the portion of your blessings.
Make Jesus your first love and all things will fall into places accordingly.
But God!
Some of the things would be harder for us Christians because we were called to be set apart from the rest - we have a totally different standard to meet and to strive for. It was a tough week for me but God! God in His timing is bringing me deliverance and then to a whole new level of faith and understanding in Him. It was tough but in Him nothing is impossible, in Him all things are made anew, in Him I am made able. I will shine forth His glory!

During worship on Sunday Nov 17, 2013, Barbara Wentroble joined Chuck Pierce in prophesying:
"If you will invite Me down this week then I will
enter your atmosphere and change that which you've been trying to change. I have power and strength to overcome, and if you will invite Me in, you will
overcome this week and deliverance will come to you!
"For I AM a God who is shaking everything that can be
shaken. This is a season you shall shake; you shall see Me shake everything
that would hold back My coming Glory. I shall shake the gainsayers; I
shall shake the mockers, and I shall shake those that would oppose and stand
against this that I have prepared for this season. Watch Me begin to shake
that which seemed unshakeable, in days past.
"For this is a turn-around season. I'm
getting ready to turn around some things that would not turn. I'm getting
ready to turn the vault on the door that would not open. Watch Me turn the
bolt and open the door, and watch Me shake the unshakeable. Watch Me release
that which I have said in days past - that the Glory of this latter house
would be greater than the Glory of the former. As I shake and as I open, I Am
releasing a new dimension of My Glory!"
Worship
"Your chief ministry is always to God. At the very least give God a
tithe of your day in worship. Not worship and prayer and reading
scriptures or meditating - JUST worship. Get used to always turning and
yielding in your heart to the Lord. Understand that if your discipline
is not earthed in delight, you won’t have the desire to see it through."
From Graham Cooke, The Indwelling Presence

It is no longer I, my, me & mine
Buried my own self-desire.
It was not easy and it hurt so freaking much.
But I know God is at work.
For two days I have mourned.
But today onward I will war against grief and sorrowfulness.
The joy from my Father is my strength and my standing ground.
I am not going to let disobedience and resistance to changes hinder me from entering into God's now time for me.
I am pushing through despite having to resist what my flesh would so eagerly desire.
I am breaking forth in victory through Him who gives me strength and revelation.
I am becoming who He wants me to be.
And I thank God for the people that He has sent to help me.
RAWR! The Judah in me is going forth in worship and praise for the I AM.
I have been defeated but not this time.
I have had my life destroyed but not this time.
I have turned my back against You but not this time.
This time I choose to stand on His promises and fix my gaze upon Him solely.
In Him, I can.

The quicker I submit to the hand of God, the quicker I can resist the devil.

It is hard but it is worthy.
反之
一直以來都一直被教導說想要的就要努力追求，得到了要緊緊把握住。
可現在卻恰恰相反，還沒開始就要先學會放手，學著相信順從屈服祂旨意。
信心，說得何嘗容易啊！
但我相信，在祂一切能行！
再忍耐多一些些吧!

Delayed Gratification
This sudden madness
I was caught off guard
I followed the flow
I dived in
Deeper, deeper and deeper
Then I was lost
Maybe I should have back off
But I was not taught of how
And it's too late already
I thought
Then a voice said
Let go and let Me intervene
I will teach you how and where to flow
You need only to obey and trust
It seems so hard now but it will get better
If only you fix your eyes on Me
It takes some time so patience it is
This isn't an easy-travel road anyways
But the promises and the fruits are sweet and real
Grieve not
For the better are yet to come
In a way you least expected it
Let not the tear blinds you
From seeing My goodness and faithfulness

Resolving what needs to be resolved
No more running away.
This time I'm going to face it right.
And suddenly, I'm free!
