Life is sweet because God is good


The photo showed the Wall Sticker that I did with my God on the wall of my living room. This is my first attempt to do Wall Sticker. So I prayed that God will guide my hands to do a good job. I am very happy with the result.

Life is sweet because God is good.

Everyday, I am very thankful because of having God in my life.

Every morning, my first greeting is “Good morning Father God. Good morning Lord Jesus Christ. Good morning Holy Spirit”.

Lately, I am blessed to listen to my church senior pastor, Rev Edmund Chan past preaching on the Sermon on the Mount series. My greatest blessing is to understand my God, Jesus Christ and His teachings better. I am blessed to be in this church that teach me the very Word of God that give me life.

From Pastor Edmund preaching, I know that indeed my God is my Strength, my Security and my Significant. I have no lack because of Him.

Actually, my God is also my Serenity, my Sufficiency, my Sanity and my Sweet.

Which version of God that you believe in?
One night in the past week, my neighbor, a pre-believer, came to me to ask for help on checking IRAS tax information on the internet. I don’t know how to help her as I am not familiar in searching for that piece of information. As she insisted, so I gave it a try. I went into IRAS website and I prayed openly in front of her for God to guide me to look for that information. God is good. He guided me in the right clicks and quickly we found the information.

After she got the information she wanted, I invited her for Easter Sunday service. She rejected with the reason that she prays to god (拜神的). The very next moment, she told me she easily get worry with problems. If she can’t solve it, she cannot sleep. I asked her, “Don’t you ask your god to help you?” She was silent.

I told her I give my problems to my God. My God is a big God that can help me in time of needs. I do not concern myself with who He sent to help me, or how He help me, as long as it is no longer a problem to me.

I shared with her that I was once with many concerns before I know my God. I reminded her that she saw that I prayed moment ago for God to help me to find information in the internet. I shared that my God is able to help in time of needs. At my door gate, I invited her again for Easter Sunday service, she told me she is going to clean her father’s tomb (清明).

After she left, a thought came to me, “How strange to believe in a god that can’t help her in time of needs; that she has to carry her many concerns till she cannot sleep and not cast it to her god.”

I know my God. My God is Strong to save. My God Loves and Cares for me. My God Listens when I talk to Him. My God is Sovereign that He discipline me for my own good. My God Sees the big picture and He did things for the greater good, not just for me alone.

When I lost sight of my God and become afraid with “What if…”, He reminded me "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." (Romans 10:11 (NIV))


Buy hope?
I often saw long queue to the Singapore Pool (Toto shop). It becomes even longer when the winning sum is huge. My ex-colleague once told me he went there to buy hope. From Monday to Sunday, except a rest day, there are different types of “hope” that he can buy.

One time, as usual during the Chinese New Year season, the newspaper said how many people had became overnight millionaires as they strike Toto. I shared that with a friend. She said become millionaire (with that amount) is not enough to buy a landed property (in Singapore). That dawn on me that if enough is not enough, we will never be enough (of wealth).

If only earthlings know that God is actually the everlasting Hope, instead of the Toto shop. Then the long queue should be to the church of God. And you don’t even need to buy Hope. It is so expensive that we cannot afford it. So God gives it to us FREE of charge.


Why so good when someone died?
Today is Good Friday.
Why is it Good when someone died?
It is Good for human race. If Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did not die for us, there is NO OTHER WAY for sinful men to connect to God the Heavenly Father.

My understanding of God and His teachings helps me in my work.
I understand the concept of “NO OTHER WAY”.
As a CAD Manager, people will ask me can the CAD software do this and that. Sometimes, they do not like the way the software achieve the intended result. But I had to tell them, there is “NO OTHER WAY” for this particular software. Period.


Worship a Living God
Easter Sunday is coming. We will celebrate Jesus resurrection.
Because Jesus lives forever, we are not worship a dead God, but a living God.

Because Jesus lives, we can face tomorrow.
Because Jesus is our living Hope, we live in victory.
Because Jesus guides our path, we lives with a purpose.

My friend, happy Easter.
