Love
For God so loved the world... The greatest of these is love... Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength... Love your neighbour as yourself... Love is patient, love is kind.. Love keeps no record of wrongs... Perfect love drives out fear...
May the love of God flow through me to others. I have learnt that, for me, I have no capacity to love unless I have the love of God. We love because He first loved us!
Faith
The biggest factor in the turning point of my life. Believing in what I cannot see, believing and trusting even when I do not have full knowledge of things. Die-die believing. For the love of God and His grace are as good as facts to me. It has always been up to me to accept them and put faith in God. I believe in God's power and God's goodness and God's love.
Prayer
Ah, not so good at this. Sometimes I don't even feel like saying because, well, God already knows right? But God is such an awesome God. Even though He is omni-everything and so mighty, He wants to connect with us, to talk with us, to interact with us. What is man that He is mindful of us? A quiet time passage talked about persisting in prayer. This is one meditation I can't seem to understand. What does it mean to persist in prayer, to wrestle in prayer, to struggle with God like Jacob did? Hmm.
Life is changing for me. End of studying, start of career. And only by God's grace, I am employed without going through endless job applications, I hardly even tried to search for a job! And again only by His grace, I also received a precious blessing.
This is only the beginning of a new phase! Or two.. Like a friend's friend said, starting out on a career will be the real test of my faith in God; will I stay rooted or uprooted? Ultimately we know nothing about the future. But I have this hope, that God is good, and that I can and will trust in Him.
God's word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path. I will keep God on top by remembering this:
Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Amen!

Amen!To all that you said. I affirm it. So jia you my dear friend as you start your first job, continue growing and walking closely with God and start on so many new things in your life. Indeed this is a huge turning point in your life and a juncture of immense change. But don't be afraid,God goes before you and he knows and will be there to see you through and catch you when you do fall. But rest assured HE knows and I will be keeping you in prayer eventhough I'm miles away, but I will always remember you.
So take heart dear and go, go face the world ever so bravely.
A BIG BIG hug. :D
As we both embrace the next big change in our lives, may we keep close to Christ and keep each other accountable in every sense. Deal?
Love you much!
Thank you for EVERYTHING! :D
