Pause

Can you control your emotions? Its hard right especially when you are angry with someone. When we are in the verge of anger , we utter hurtful words and this will be the start of a broken relationship. How can we resist it and control it?

The answer lies on you. In the new testament, James reminded us:

‭James 1:19 NIV‬

[19] My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 

https://bible.com/bible/111/jas.1.19.NIV

Hence, its very important to listen first, pause and assess the situation. You dont need to win an argument everytime. Ego is the number one enemy. Let go of ego and start to pause and reflect before uttering hurtful words. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to preserve a relationship not broke it. We need to widen our circle rather than trimming it. 

Lets build a family founded by faith and divine wisdom. We can do it by starting to change ourselves. Dont be in a rush to react, if you are not ready yet, remember to PAUSE.

Paper Flowers

During our Korean Language Class last April 14, 2024, we were taught how to make small paper flowers and make it as a cup holder. It was exciting and students enjoyed making it.

Alignment

We see a lot of people praying, praising and worshiping the Lord everyday. Are these actions transcend to every aspect of their lives? Maybe yes or no, who are we to judge them. 

Its easy to show to people how holy and righteous we are by being present in church every Sunday, giving donations and actively volunteer to every activity. These good works might seem enormous and some may think it can fill in our Holy Bank Account as a deposit, even if we have withdrawals of bad attitudes. This belief of some Christians is false. 

Paul's letter to the Ephesians, say:

‭Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV‬

[8] For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— [9] not by works, so that no one can boast. 

https://bible.com/bible/111/eph.2.8-9.NIV

It is only by faith and not by good works, that we are saved by God's grace. We can never boast about it and brag that we have a lot of points to go to heaven. 

If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, then we are holy as He is Holy. Everyday as we reflect His words in the bible,  always find a way to align your actions from His teachings.

Let's align our mind, body and soul to God everyday. Lets embody a Christlike character in word, thought and deed. We are meant to be an alignment with Jesus Christ.

Glorify God

Do you honor and glorify God in everything that you do? Or you are just a Sunday Christian?

Being a Christian should be in word, thought and deed. A lot of religious people are only living the word during Sunday services but when they go back to work or school, their character changes and christianity in their lives is not shown anymore. 

Paul reminded the church in Corinthia to glorify God in their daily activities. 

‭1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV‬

[31] So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 

https://bible.com/bible/111/1co.10.31.NIV

Everyday is an opportunity to serve others and as we do our duty at home, school or at work, do it with dignity, honesty and perseverance. What ever we do reflects our character and relationship with God. If we are a true follower of Christ, we should embody the character of a good parent, kid, student and employee. 

What is your role today? Whatever it is, do your best and glorify God every minute and every second of the day. Amen! 🙏🏽

The Lord is great and powerful

‭1 Chronicles 29:11 NIV‬

[11] Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
