"Life is sucks!"

"Life is sucks"

(Now, parents please don't throw stone to crucified me yet. I apologies for the offensive language but I'm proving a point =)

This phrase is so often used in our today's generation.

When we faced a obstacle in life, we'll say; "Life sucks!"
When a bird ter-shit on our head, we'll say; "Life sucks!"
When we failed our exam, we'll says; "Life sucks!"
When we are bored... I mean really very bored.., we'll says; "Life sucks!"
When our laptop went "cacat", we'll says; "Life sucks!"
When we can't afford to buy our favorite bag from ROXY, we'll says; "Life sucks!"
Even when we study too much today, (come one everyone say with me...) "Life sucks!!!!!!"

People says it so often that it had very much became a "slang" where the meaning of it matter less.

I, myself are not better than anyone hahaha, yesterday night as I was in my casual conversation with God, grumbling with Him about something that I don't quite well remember now. I unconsciously uttered to him, "Life is sucks, Lord". Straight away I felt the Holy Spirit squeezing my heart, so I bow down to His Sovereignity asking for forgiveness.

Now now now... telling the one that had given you life and that the life that He has given you is actually sucks. MMmmhh that is not a too clever thing to do!!!

Kena la aku kali ini..!! I heard the Father saying, "Do you have the right to say, "Life sucks" while I am the one that given you life each day. I was there to protect you each day and night that no one will lay a hand to you. I feed you and provide for you today, tomorow and every single day to come. I love and care for you and give the best to your life, even I had given my Son, Jesus for you, so you can live a life that are free and in joy," said God.

Come to think of it, we really didn't have any right at all to say that "Life sucks!"

Because Jesus had did too much for us so that we can have life. It worth HIS own life. Life never sucks, when Jesus are the one that gave it.

May you view life.... worth living for.












Ruth, a thinker?! =)

I am a thinker, not the intelligent thinker that goes around asking difficult questions and giving mind stressing, hair pulling kind of philosophy concepts to everyone that comes my way.

I'm an inside thinker, I would silently questioning why things happen in such way and what can I learn from it. I learned better about myself, about the world I'm living in and about this God that I'm loving very much. Not every time I will get the answer, I realized how things work but much time I left helpless in it.

I, myself are quite a thinker when it comes about matter that relate to God. He is the most important in my life. Almost all the time I'm a positive thinker but sometime I shunned even to some of the question that I would ponder about. "Is God treating us like a puppet?", "Would God let me be hurt so He can prove His point?", "Is God only care for His work and ministry, what about me and giving me rest?", "Is God mighty to save me.. really?", "If the power of prayer so powerful, why does Christian end up in a cruel persecution like the incident in India, didn't the Christian there prayed for protection too?", "How far would God go to save me.. Will He really do that? "What if I had sinned and fail Him, would He still protect me?"

This proven that I too am weak and have little faith when I face giant's trouble.

(It is ok to question God just like I did, but we need to keep looking for the answer in His word. Some just like to question God but I like to know the answer to the questions.)

Malaysia has hope!

As I was reading the news today in page 22 (the star) about "Abducted man escapes after cops stop car."

I thank God that the police actually took the initiative to stop the car when there saw suspicious behavior of the occupants. If they did not, the Bangladeshi's man may be in danger. They actually save his life.

Even though this is a small news but I'm actually very proud of our Polis Diraja, though all my life I heard many many negative remarks about the police on our country due to corruption but things are looking better, I can really see the police forces is rising up. I'm so proud of you guys.

Not always a spoil apple will spoiled the whole baskets of apples.


Lord Jesus, Thank you for loving our country. Thank you Jesus for loving our nation. Lord, I pray for our Polis Diraja, Lord may you help them to do their duty with integrity, may you protect them from all temptations. Lord Jesus, help them to be the protector our the public, to help and to protect the public. Lord Jesus, I pray may you raise up more good police who love the nation and people and who will do their job with intergrity and passion, for the sake of our country. May your name Jesus be blessed and glorified. In Jesus name, I pray Amen.


Don't be a soccer's spectator!! plsss..!

Last Sunday, it was Rev. Eddie's ordination. Congrats rev. Eddie tan!! Now be a good boy and don't hack my msn or FB's message anymore. =)

It was a wonderful service because it was a privilege to hear three powerful and noble Rev. speaking at the same night, there were Rev. Dr. Isaac Yim, Rev Dr. John Ong and Rev. Ker Kiat Bin. Each of their message was bold, straight to the heart and very de powerful! I was truly blessed.

However, I would like to bring to attention a note spoken by Rev. Ker that night. He was giving exhortation to encourage Rev. Eddie. He make an illustration of the soccer's spectator and the soccer's player to make a point that the spectators are always in more number than the players on the field, and in addition the spectators make the most comment while watching others sweat and play.

A spectator will be sitting comfortably on the sofa in their own house and screaming, "Aiyooo how can you kick like this?", "Look at the way he run, he must have taken bribe!", "Aiyooo, how come so easy also cannot goal, if I play I would have goal 100 times already!" and etc......


They will give all negative comments and judge any small little mistakes that they could found on the players. They would want to make 100 changes but never do they want to implement it themselves.

This is a very common ground that all leaders would face including myself.

My own encounter with these spectators:
It is hard to be a leaders; it is harder when you have a bunch of soccer's spectators on your back trying to teach you how to run, and how to kick a ball, while you have been kicking it for a long time.

It is always a very painful experience for the leaders when hurtful remark has made to their wholehearted service to the Lord. However, not the entire comments from the spectator is bad, those who commented and then with love and prayers really want the good for the team, then it is different.

When someone make an easy-way-out comments to someone's work for the Lord, it will discouraged the leader. "Leadership landmine - Discouragement was the biggest killer of leadership!!"

I urge you friends, I know how easy we would fall into the category of soccer's specatators, I'm guilty of it too. But when there is no love, no prayers in our heart then let us keep the comments to ourselve, because your remark may be the cause of a leader to quit it ministry. It's important that we as a body of Christ support one another in love.

In Matthew 9: 35 -37
"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagagues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harrashed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW. ASK THE LORD OF HARVEST, THEREFORE TO SEND OUT WORKERS INTO HIS HARVEST FIELD."

If your heart is stirring for the people and for the ministry, don't just stop at making comment to the leaders, but join them in the field to win this battle for Christ.

His name alone deserved all our hearts,
His name alone deserved all our pains,
His name alone deserved all our lives.
May you be a player not a spectator. For His GLory sake.

Matthew 20:28
"Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

"Come, follow me;" Jesus said. (Matthew 4:19)

God bless your heart.

Appreciation to the kind policemen.

What a wonderful morning! It is His grace that had put a smile on my face.
In this wonderful morning, I would want to remember that Jesus is the source of my strenght and the source of my HOPE.

What a grace of God, that my family and I are safe in His mighty hand yesterday night.

At about 8PM my dad, mom and I were on the way to my aunt's house in Old Klang Road. My aunt's mother in law just passed away on Wednesday morning and we were on the way to the funeral that night.

In addition, being overwhelmed by this sad news, I fall sick that afternoon and was down with fever. It was amazing what 2 Panadols and a soundless sleep can do. I was all well in the evening.

Let me continue, my mom was driving us to aunt's place with her new car that we just got last month. It was drizzling and the road was wet, so my mom did not have a chance to speed (thank God for that). As she pressed the gas because it was going up hill, out of sudden our car swung to the right and hit hard on the divider. It was out of control and the impact was very strong until I felt that our car are near to overturn.


I was calling out to my mom and thank God she pressed the break all the way and we able to have control of the car again. To be honest it happened so quickly that at the moment you just feel a flash of light passes you (well, that probably the headlight of the coming car that was on our left hehe) and I didn't have time to pray or go through the ACTS where I pray by giving adoration to God first and then confess my sins and etc.. it was so fast. At that time, all I can do is surrendering it to the Lord.

What a wonderful thing to be a Christian, that at moment when we face near death, when we don't even have time to utter a prayer, we know that we can surrender to this Loving God who cares for us. So yes, at that very moment I was surrendering to God.

well... the good part is coming.

So we parked at the side of the road, after all the 'fast and furious' stunt. We kind of release that no one was hurt. I was thanking Jesus for His protection because I believe worst can happen we may go out of control and hit another car or go over the bridge. God was good.

I thank God for all my leaders and friends who have been praying for me daily. Thru their prayers the Lord has protected me and His grace was upon my family and I. All glory and praises to Jesus.

ok ok here is the best part...


3 minutes after we parked at the side, my dad and me pretending to fix the burst tyre, where i believe that my dad has no idea how to change a tyre before haha neither than I. It was such a dangerous spot because others car are driving very close to us.

A police car pull over in front of us and here came the most nice and kind and gentle and lovely policemen. Trust me the moment he came out of the car it reminded me of "Fox Mulder" (from X-files) who always there to protect princess "Scully". haha ok I'm getting into fantasy now..

Back to the reality.. I mean the story. He came out of the car with another older policemen who keep talking and talking all the time but not doing anything. So, FBI agent Fox Mulder asked my mom to open the trunk to get the spare tyre. Without saying anything he took the tools and the tyre and start changing the tyre for us. So man laaaaaaa.....

So yup ruth and her family were saved and was brought to safety by FBI Agent Fox Mulder.


Btw his name is "Chiong". (My mom peep on his badge)

My parent and I thank you for helping us.

God's was gracious.. somehow last night I was sleeping being very secure.

He is one and may be the only nicest policemen I ever met so far. May the Lord raise more good and kind policemen in our country. In Jesus name Amen.

One of my friends commented that only Christian has the privilege to call our God, Father which is why in Christianity its always more than a religion: It is a RELATIONSHIP

The love that the Father (God) has for us, is ever more than anything we can imagine. I pray may my God reveal His love for you.

May you too, have the privilege like me and my friends to have a relationship with this loving God whom we call Father.

Kasih Nya tak pernah berhenti.
