Treasure of Jesus!

Today, I go for my christmas holiday break - till Sunday!

A normal weekend, but it is a precious 3 days, having outings with GOD (first, at midnight mass at church soon)... then lunch with Family, Then my CSA Alumni friends, then my Youth Group friends at YAM, and then watching the christmas concert by our church choir this Sunday. I realised something, that it is this priority that forms the foundation of my life. GOD > FAMILY > FRIENDS > etc.

I am so tired. But i have to persevere. GOd is teaching me things, through this tired time, through my weakness, I am strong. Through my human limitations, I realise that I can only do but pray for God to come and make peace on earth.

Maybe the bible is something then that we can all rely on:

Matthew 18:15-17 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Matthew 5:24
Leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.




This is a wonderful song that touched and encouraged me today. i like melancholic tunes.

What can I do
How can I live
To show my world
The treasure of Jesus

What will it take
What could I give
So they can know
The treasure He is

If I can sing
Let my songs be full of His Glory
If I can speak
Let my words be full of His Grace
If I should live or die
Let me be found pursuing this prize
The One that alone satisfies
The Treasure of Jesus

And if I can sing
Let my songs be full of His Glory
If I can speak
Let all my words be full of His Grace
And if I should live or die
Let me be found pursuing this prize
The One that alone satisfies
The Treasure of Jesus


ANd yet another song (first time hearing this on youtube): "Rescue" by Desperation Band
