God speaks to me in many more verses

I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts - men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
 - Psalm 57:4

The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.
Then my head will be exalted above my enemies who surround me.
Teach me Your way O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the desires of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
 - Psalm 27: 1-2, 6a, 11-12

If God is for us, who can be against us?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
 - Romans 8: 31b, 33

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
 - John 15: 18-19

God speaks to me in 3 verses

i believe God is speaking to me through these 3 verses of His Word:

Am I trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
 - Galatians 1:10

Faith by itself, if it not accompanied by action, is dead.
 - James 2:17

You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
 - James 2:24

i've done enough damage to the testimony of Christ. i hope those around me will see my sincerity and give me the time and chance to change.

i hate the lag time between my efforts to become a better man and their tangibility to those around me. They say it's not obvious enough.

To those who have seen my slack behaviour, please forgive me. That sort of behaviour was inconsistent with my commitment to Christ.

i see myself in so many unlovable people around me, yet i struggle to love them like Christ does. God's love is amazing indeed!

This is the distance i cycle to and from home (Potong Pasir) and camp (Pulau Tekong) - 20+km (around half the length of mainland Singapore. :)

i don't like Chinese New Year. It's so noisy and filled with unhealthy temptations. My hongbaos aren't getting fat, but my tummy is!

Percy Jackson movie is good, but why did the Greek Gods choose to mate with American mortals? Anyway i agree that Hades is in Hollywood. :D

One of the saddest days of my life is when you change your status from 'Single' to 'In a relationship' and it's not my name after 'with'.

Spending Valentine's Day on romantic Tekong, away from the buzz of the Lunar New Year on mainland Singapore. i regret testing the system.

Happy Valentine's Day to all God's children!
