My collection of Sermon CDs




I cleared my cupboards yesterday and found that I actually have such a tall stack of sermon CDs that dates back to as far as Aug 2005! Wow.... i counted it, one CD short of 40! amazing. hahaha...

Really thank all my brothers and sisters who chipped in $$ to buy them for me :) one CD can buy one person's lunch leh.. so i really appreciate it. Thank God for Sharon who always remember to help me buy and pass it to me :)

Quote of the Day

I found this quote in a friend's blog:

"LOVE is like an ATM machine, you cannot expect to constantly withdraw money out of it, without depositing any..."

Initially, i agreed with the quote. However, after giving it some thought, I realise that the "love" in this quote only applies to human beings. After living for some 24 years and around 3 months, I have already come to realise that one human being can only love another human being so much. The love between human beings are very much dependent on the actions and emotions that they receive from another human being.

To put it simply, love between human beings are reciprocal in nature. That's why we have to give before we can receive. Of course, there may be times when we give less than we receive. However, such situations may not be sustainable as human beings are incapable of loving another person unconditionally. Hence, often times we are hurt by another human being due to the lack in affection or love despite your giving. Sometimes people even compare the love given by themselves and the love given by the other party. (but really, how to measure? no measuring cup for such purpose leh)

I agree that we definitely need to put in effort in our relationships and friendships with other people. For example, giving others our time, money and sincere hearts.

However, I'm just thankful that God is not like us; glad that no human being is God. I can't imagine God only loves me when I sing praises to Him or when i pray to Him. Haha.. Praise God that he does not look at what we can do for Him or how much we love Him to determine how much He loves and cares for us!!! Indeed man will fail us but God will not! Hallelujah!
I desire to love others with the love that He has given to me and i wish others will be able to one day experience what I am experiencing today!


"Dear God, help me to experience your unconditionally love everyday of my live so that i will be able to live others with the same love. Father, increase my capacity to love and the depth of my love for others. Help me to start with the people closer to me and to be able to gradually expand the circle of love. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name. Amen"
