Don't follow the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2 (NLT)

A Life Of Integrity
As I am typing this, I am struggling to keep awake. But I decided to use this ten minutes to share God's words.
When you live a life of integrity, when you have a spirit of excellence, giving, serving and treating people right, God's blessings will chase you down and overtake you. You cannot outrun the good things of God when you do your best to please Him.
The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Mattew 23:11-12 (NLT)

Protect Me From Evil Man
Psalm 140:1-8
1 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man, 2 who plan evil things in their heart; they continually gather together for war. 3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside ; they have set traps for me.
6 I said unto the Lord, You are my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. 8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: do not further his wicked scheme; lest they be exalted.

Sexual Immorality
Hebrews 12:16-17 (New International Version)
16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. 17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done."

Serve God With Reverence and Godly Fear
Hebrews 12:28-29
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverance and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Pursue Peace With All People
I am reading from the Gideons International in Japan.
After reading, then i realised it is actually Hebrews Chapter 12, which definitely i have read before. But somehow because of the translation, the words formed and put together when read were rather refreshing.
Allow me to share with you Hebrews 12:14"14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

There Is None Like You
I really haven't written in a long time. . .
Want to share my always number one song in my heart: There Is None Like You.
Though i havent written for the longest time, God has always been with me. Following me where ever i go. He is with me in the morning when i have difficulty waking up. He is with me in the afternoon, when i am hungry for a meal. He is with me when i am having a great time with friends and family. He is with me when i am working. He is with me even when i am in my bed.
He is constantly with me even though i haven't written anything for a long time. Everyday he speaks to me through reading his words, just that i didnt pen it down to share.
Just as what the title of the song: There Is None Like You.
There wouldn't be another one or person that is Like Him. Who loves you who you are. Who loves you unconditionally. Who loves you and takes care of you even when you forget Him, reject Him, abandon Him. He is always in a corner; with you. Even thought sometimes you may not realised it.
"There is none like you, no one else can touch my heart like you do." Given all the efforts of mankind and years of love putting into touching my heart, no one else can touch my heart like He did.
This song speaks to me more than anything in the world. "There is none like you, no one else can touch my heart like you do, i could search for eternity long and find there is none like you."

Fear And Faith; Both Is Contagious
Just as you can be talked into having a bad year, you can be talked into having a great year.
Yes, fear is contagious, but the good news is, faith is even more contagious. Victory is viral! Joy spreads like the flu bug! That's why it's so important to get around other positive poeple of faith on a regular basis.
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)

Your Life Matters
Have you ever wondered what God thinks about or what is on His mind about you?
It says in the Psalms that God is mindful of us-His creation.
That means God is constantly thinking about you. Many people think God is looking down on them, waiting for them to mess up. They say things like, "If I walk into that church, the roof will cave in!" But God's not thinking about your mistakes, failures or shortcomings. No, His thoughts toward you are good. He's not thinking about what you did wrong; He's thinking about what you did right. He's not thinking about how far you have to go; He's thinking about how far you've come.
Know today that God approves of you. He's pleased with you. He may not always be pleased with your choices or some of the things you do, but when God looks at you, He sees His amazing creation. You are His masterpiece, and He's looking at you through His loving and gracious eyes.
You matter to God and every detail of your life matters to Him. Scripture says that He counts every hair on your head and bottles every tear that you've cried. You are significant, and your life is significant.
In this day and age, people are considered to be important for so many different reasons—titles, positions, possessions, where you go, what you drive. But God's value system is very different. If you've ever thought that God has too many other "important" things on His plate to be concerned about you and your life, know this today: You are God's number one priority. And there's nothing you can do to be more important or less important to Him.
God values you simply because He created you. You are precious to Him, and your value will never change.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! (Psalm 139:17–18 NLT)

Just Stay In Faith And Keep Being Your Best
My friend, God has great things already arranged for you. He's already released them into your future. You may not be able to see it. You may not be able to figure it out. That's okay. Just stay in faith and keep being your best, and you' ll be amazed at what you walk into.
"Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, He has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success." 2 Samuel 23:5 (NLT)

If Nothing Happens To me, It Happens For Me.
God would not have allowed me to go through difficult times if He didn't have a purpose for them. He wouldn't have allowed adversity to come if He didn't already have a plan for good to come of it.
But I have spared you for a purpose - to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth. Exodus 9:16 (NLT)
