Hellos... It's me again. Just wanna share a really nice song haha, yes it caught my attention because of the title... BUT more than that the song was really touching.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaZl1RrTnco Couldn't import the video here because the recording label blocked the function to embed it in other websites. But nonetheless, do go watch it and let the emotions surfaced touch your heart.
It is sung by a father as he watches his child grow up. The song encompasses all the feelings of love and pride. How he just loves it when she gives him those butterfly kisses.
Well, it spoke to me about how much more God adores us. Can you imagine him gazing at us while we grow up? He watches us progress in life, he never fails to walk beside us. And more than that, the only thing He desires is for us to give him those Butterfly Kisses. In other words, all He waits for is our worship of adoration. That's all He needs to stir us His heart for us.
I know my Daddy in heaven loves me. He loves you too!
I'm gonna go give him my Butterfly Kisses.... Will you?
Hahaha yesh i will respond to dear sis michelle's (pink one) reminder that I can still blog for ya'll! *yayy!*
Well anyway, last thursday my cousin had her graduation from her honours class in uni (yay!), so we got her a bunch of very pretty n very fragrant flowers. I bought the flowers unarranged and went home to arrange them nicely in nice wrapping tissue n ribbon, but what do I know about flower arrangement?
Haha so yea spent quite a long time b4 it looked decent, and the result was that my hands were full of flower-scent all day even when I went to sleep, no matter how much I washed my hands.
And that night during my TAWG, God reminded me...about carrying the fragrance of CHRIST!
1. I held on tight to the flowers, spent a lot of time around the bouquet and was constantly touching them as I arranged them and carried them around. In the same way, we need to hold on to Jesus so tight, and spend time in His presence so that His fragrance rubs off on us and we carry it wherever we go - so people will "smell" and know who HE is when they come into contact with ME!
2. I also found I needed to ask for forgiveness for the times I did NOT smell like Him - when I was not Christ-like in my speech, thoughts or actions. Sin makes us smell bad...to God and even to others, cos we don't live a good testimony of our faith in Christ. And the things (what we watch, listen to etc) and even people we hang around with - we'll start smelling like them! So, who's fragrance/smell would you want to have?
3. If your answer is CHRIST, we need to constantly, daily, spend quality time with our heavenly Father. For just as the scent of the flowers on my hands faded over time as long as I didn't continually/daily handle, touch or be around nice-smelling flowers, the fragrance we carry in our lives will eventually fade n even be gone if we do not spend time with God and drawing close to Him all the time.
Yup, so get the Boss' fragrance on YOU - not HUGO boss (hoho...i heard my bro's cell is called that!) - but THE Boss - Jesus Christ! :)
I'm sure by now a few of you have seen my personal msg on MSN.
Are you VALUEable?
Some have messaged me to say that, they believe they are valuable because they have worth.
But, OF COUSE WE HAVE WORTH! God formed up with his hands! We have his fingerprints all over us, of course we're valuable.
But what i meant was, "Are you ABLE to hold VALUES in ALL circumstances?"
Lets talk about pirates, why will they go through all the trouble to search for treasure in the deep oceans? Because even after the extreme conditions, they still hold their value. In fact, some even GAIN in value simple because they have withstood the winds, the waves and the oppression of sea beds.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Pace, Patience,
Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control.
Against such things there is no law."
- Galatians 5: 22-23
So what about you? Can you still hold your VALUES in extreme circumstances?
