What does not kill us makes us stronger

This is a sentence that is frequently revised among human for a very very long time. It was originally quoted from: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), in section two of his 1888 work "Ecce Homo".

The quote here is paraphrased from his original: "was ihn nicht umbringt, macht ihn starker"

Translated: "What does not kill him, makes him stronger."

Let's end here with the history before it kills me. This sentence leads me to thinking of the trials and tribulations that God has placed throughout our lives. And clearly none of it kills us as we are reading this passage, and that we are all stronger people. But how so?

I thought of the difference between a superman and a normal man. And our superman here has never felt pain before as no swords nor bullets can ever hurt him. Whereas our normal man, has faced lots and lots of injuries ever since he fell for the first time when he was 1 year old.

And one day, both superman and normal man got hurt (maybe he fell again). The feeling of pain ran vigorously through the nerves system and to the brain. The normal man, like the rest of us who are so used to getting hurt, stood up, rubbed his bruise and walked home to get his Hansaplast plaster. As for our superman, oh dear, has felt pain for his very first time in his entire life. He don't even know what to do with the skin dangling off his knee! He felt scared, nervous, helpless...like a baby. The fear in him is so much more than the pain on his knee.

Thank God we are no superman. We are normal man, who stands up from the fall in our life and move on. With no fear.

Thank God for all the good times and bad times, as none of these kills us, and makes us stronger every second.=)

got my enlistment letter!

woohoo! finally got my enlistment letter! shows that they didn't forget about me,haha!

my letter says I'm going in on the 14th June, 1030am. But I think I will just go retake my Napha test and defer my enlistment date till later. Cause' my brother says the one month of training might not be that tough for me, and my muscles might just become fats in there.hahaha, so I better just go in later to keep myself in shape for a longer period. Though I have better reasons to go in later=p

so let's pass the test and postpone it! who's with me? None for now, haa.

Heart of Worship

We had finally performed the dance that we had been practising for 2 weeks! It really feels great and wonderful to how I'm able to serve the Lord with my body. Think about how much I've trained my body to make other people bleed in the past, it's a miracle that I am now able to use it for something truly meaningful.

Serving Him really helps ourselves to see the grace of the Lord. Just about 8 months ago, I don't know a single thing about dance. Yet today, I am able to serve Him with my brother and sisters in dance. If not for the grace of God, how could I ever do it by myself? It''s all just so wonderful.

The song we danced today, "Heart of Worship", really brought me back from straying in the midst of nice songs, neglecting the true meaning of worship. Thank God for delivering me back to Him, to the heart of worship.

When the music fades, all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring, something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

King of endless worth, no one could express
How much you deserve
Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is yours
Every single breathe

I bring you more than a song, for a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within, through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you, it's all about you Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about you, it's all about you Jesus

The Convenant under the Rainbow

Have been told alot about the Promise of the Rainbow recently. Hearing testimonials about constantly reminded of God's promising us by the creation of rainbow, people hoping for a rainbow to appear.

Really touched by how God has been sticking to His promise of leading the way and taking care of us in our lives. And it's even more wonderful to see people around me walking with the promise of the Lord.

我空虚的心灵, 终于不再流泪
期待着雨后, 缤纷的彩虹
叙说祢我的约定

我不安的脚步, 终于可以停歇
主祢已为我摆设了生命的盛宴

与祢有约, 是永恒的约
彩虹为证, 千古不变
我要高歌, 为生命喜悦
万物歌颂祢的慈爱, 大地诉说祢的恩典 song by 赞美之泉

"And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth." Genesis 9:12-13
