on sending sms-es to brighten the day...

Well, it's my turn today to send out morning sms to my regular people. Was reflecting on the Sunday sermon preached in church so decided to send out the following sms:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"I ask God for all things so that I may enjoy life;

God gave me life, so that I may worship Him

& enjoy all things in Him! 0:D

Verily, verily I repeat unto you,

Dun live by roti* alone;

rather, eat of the bread of heaven,

the manna of life from our Father's banquet."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually I don't get response and replies one, but today was special. Here are some replies:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Would u seriously trade ur lifestyle now for live in desert with manna?"

This comes from a dear brother who always challenges us to think further and beyond mere mouthing of the words we were taught in church. Well, I replied back:

"Well, as Adonai Jesus has prayed, "Father, ... not my will but Yours be done." Think the question here is how far we will trust Him."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Amen. Amazingly I came across this same saying fr a christian poster tt my fren bought on mon, wh struck me deeply. 1st time seeing it twice in a wk."

This comes from a sister who's drawing closer to God these past 7 months. Yea, our Abba is wonderful, sometimes He'll just bring constant reminder on certain promises and messages He has for us. I replied her thus:

" It's a sign!! :D Do take time to meditate on it some more this week"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yea, do not live by bread alone, must also eat prata! :D"

This comes from a sister who's usually quite serious - wasn't really expecting this from her :D think must be stressed out by her work schedule. So I replied her:

"Eh, Bible got mention prata meh?? Must be your special IDT version la... :D"
