This hymn was originally part of a musical, written in 1969 by Texan Baptist musician Kurt Kaiser called,
"Tell It Like It Is”. In the minds of many people, Kaiser and his friend Ralph Carmichael revolutionized the gospel music industry. In the mid-1960s, they wrote a series of musicals that incorporated the new sound of rock and roll to reach out to the youth who were feeling neglected by the church. Kaiser and Carmichael were amazed as the [musical] sold out its first run of 2,500 copies. In total, they sold about 500,000 copies of the musical.
It remains his signature song today.
Pass It On
It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing.
That’s how it is with God’s love,
Once you’ve experience it.
You spread his love to everyone;
You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring,
When all the tress are budding
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it.
You want to sing, it's fresh like spring,
You want to pass it on.
I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found;
you can depend on him, it matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountaintop;
I want my world to know;
the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on."
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love another.”
John 13:34-35

argh.... rude aunties/ah ma..whatever you call them
Went to the supermarket with my mum this morning and while i was queuing.. ok..maybe i was a little out of the queue.. anw. there comes this aunty probably in her 50s. She came along and asked the cashier some questions, brought along with her 2 packs of fishcakes and said she couldn't understand what the tag at the shelf. And...and... subsequently cut into my queue so conveniently! Especially when i was standing just right beside her! I gave her a bewildered look and she looked at me as if nothing had happen! OMGOSH! She had lived 50+ years of her life and doesnt know what manners is!? Pissed off. Well ya.. people will come and tell me its ok.. she's old, just let her be. Respect. O come on! Cutting my queue this way just doesn't show that they respect themselves in the first place... and since she's an elder..all the more they should be showing some manners right, after all they should be the ones more mature, lived more years, should be the ones leading by example! Having lived that few more years just doesn't give her the right to be rude and do what she likes as if she lives alone in a world of her own. Being old doesn't naturally mean you're right all the time! Does the law exempt anyone who's over 60s when he/she kills or steals?? We're looking at morality here.
CAN YOU THEN BE KIND TINGYU!?
yes... i guess i should and i will...... =x God help.

Lord, grant me a quiet heart
Before examinations start.
Teach me to use my leisure hours
To reinvigorate my powers.
My mind from day dreams liberate;
Give me the will to concentrate.
From all distractions set me free
That in my studies I may be
A student with this sole intent;
To make my work a sacrament.
From my faint heart, in love, expell
All failure fears that therein dwell.
And from my pillow drive away
All dark foreboding of the day;
Help me in faith to rest so deep
That I may have untroubled sleep.
While notes and lessons I prepare,
May I not lose my zest for prayer.
And may I not forget to look
For daily guidance in the Book.
In quietness, confidence and peace
May I have sure and swift release
From needless fears and apprehensions,
From outward strain and inward tension.
And may I ever grateful be
To all who often pray for me;
While for myself I intercede,
For other students I would plead.
So may examinations find
Each one alert in heart and mind;
First inward joy and peace possessing,
Exams will prove a source of blessing.

Like the woman at the well I was seeking For things that could not satisfy; And then I heard my Savior speaking: "Draw from my well that never shall run dry".Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more--
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
There are millions in this world who are craving The pleasures earthly things afford; But none can match the wondrous treasure That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more--
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
So, my brother, if the things this world gave you Leave hungers that won't pass away, My blessed Lord will come and save you, If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more--
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

死了这条心吧
当作是做了一场梦吧。。
那一切也只能当成回忆。。。
越痛的经历。。。
或许也就是
那最美丽的回忆。。。
才发现原来我们真的不配。。。
他早已有了最适合他的人选。。神的眷顾。。。
我为他高兴。继续为他祈祷。
你一定要做世界上最开心的人。。要幸福噢!
我会继续守在神的身边。。等待着。。。

"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognised by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored us in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." Luke 6:43 - 45
Search my heart and purify it so that I may see you and know you.. tame my tongue so that out of my mouth will come forth loving and constructive words... that these may glorify Your holy name.
"I[Jesus] will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it as well built." Luke 6:47,48
"Practise makes perfect"..this idea, did it 1st originate from God? :) I think so.

"雨 不停落下来
花 怎么都不开
尽管我细心灌溉
你说不爱就不爱
我一个人
欣赏悲哀
爱 只剩下无奈
我 一直不愿再去猜
钢琴上黑键之间 永远都夹着空白
缺了一块 就不精采
心 有一句感慨
我 还能够跟谁对白
在你关上门之前 替我再回头看看
那些片段 还在不在
紧紧相依的心如何 say goodbye
你比我清楚 还要我说明白
爱太深 会让人疯狂的勇敢
我用背叛自己 完成你的期盼
把手放开不问一句 say goodbye
当作最后一次对你的溺爱
冷冷清清淡淡今后都不管
只要你能愉快
When i read through the words, somehow i realise that its true to a certain extent when one is so deep into a relationship or even worse, in a one sided admiration, you will be braver than you ever thought, and you will do things that you never believe you will.
Just for the other person at the receiving end.
Regardless of whether he or she knows it at all.
Love.
Is such a powerful word. Such a powerful tool." --> From my friend's blog..
if this is true... it might just be what im feeling right now... i wonder.. will he ever know..

Why is it so difficult for her to understand... maybe she's thinking the same way as I am. It was just a very plain doctrinal concept yet she cannot accept it. At the same time I cannot accept what she feels strongly about too. No doubt part of what she said was correct, yet something is just wrong. Was it really biblical? Or is it just based on her gut feelings? She said her discernment comes from Holy Spirit, well I can only agree with her on that but how certain is she if she doesnt align it with the Word of God? She has chosen not to take in the words of a teacher from a reputable organisation and strongly sticked to her own ideas. Somewhat reminded me of my struggles when I relearn who God is earlier in my life.
Though it wasn't exactly like a struggle, there were a lot of questions..Thinking back, to come to terms with those difficult doctrines I must say it has to be the working of the Spirit to have enabled me to understand them. Not everyone can get it, not everyone can accept them easily and take it as what the Bible say it is. But it had made alot of sense to me, it had made me know deeper about God's grace. That no one can deny the fact that none are deserving creatures yet God shown his mercy and grace upon all of us. If i'm helpless myself, all I can say is 'Thank You Daddy' when He decided to show grace to me. It's like... The king decided to pardon one of those prisoners who are supposed to be hung because of the awful crimes(murder,rape,etc) they have committed. The king do not have to do that, yet He chose to. Not only that, if the law states that for those who committed a serious offence must face the death penalty cannot escape the reality that someone will have to die, the King decided to give his son in place of this criminal whom he wants to pardon from the death sentence! How gracious and loving is that!? No human King can do that... yet the heavenly King can and decided to do so, out of His great love. Has any of the kings in the human history displayed such love?
One may argue that the King was unfair to choose only one prisoner to pardon? The issue here is not why he chose one and not the rest.. but the unfairness here lies with why did the king even decide to pardon and even give his prince in place of this serious offender!? He may be a serial rapist or murderer, the king by right, in his impartiality and justice, have to sentence him to death and YA he should die! come on.. serial rapist cum murderer.. yet the king in his love for this person pardoned him. Then taking the criminal then as his son because the King has already given his son to die in place of the person, isn't this wonderful? And I'm sure the criminal will then learn to really live in gratitude and change his ways all for the loving King for he has taken his sin away and gave him everything the King has in return. It is of cos an unfair exchange. But this
is the love of God....
