Something to thank God for today: aunt Lacey gave me Drumline DVD!!! as a present. she wrote there: "Dear abigail, happy belated birthday gift. please exchange if its faulty, aunty lacey"..wow...and this is the first time she calls me by that name. amazing. so i msg her and thank her, and she say something about the grace of God. wow! if you are seeing this(i doubt you will), well, thanks a million! and may God bless you. and PRAISE THE LORD for this blessing!!! and this is something which i really wanted!
ok, alright. now for some other stuff now. well, the next few entry will be much about love. i read a book named "a love worth giving~Max Lucado". so well, im going to share some of the things inside that book which i really think is very good for fellow Christians. and probably non-believers as well, so that they will know that there's One, who loves them for who they are and sacrificed His life for them. and that One is Jesus.
This is taken from the book, so credit should go to that book:
Long to be more loving? Begin by accepting your place as a dearly loved child.
Eph 5:1-2[NIV]
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Want to learn to forgive? Then consider how you've been forgiven.
Eph 4:32[NIV]
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Finding it hard to put others first? Think of the way Christ put you first.
Phil 2:6[NLT]
Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God.
Need more patience? Drink from the patience of God.
2 Pet 3:9 [NIV]
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Is generosity an elusive virtue? Then consider how generous God has been with you.
Rom 5:8[NIV]
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Having trouble putting up with ungrateful relatives or cranky neighbours? God puts up with you when you act the same.
Lk 6:35[NIV]
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
But if you haven't received these things ourselves, how can we give them to others? Apart from God, "the heart is deceitful above all things." {Jer 17:9 [NIV]}

Dedicated to the one that hurt me the most, everyday i see you, and the more i did, the more i feel like......
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
