You Are The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves

As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

John 15:9

I used to think that of all the disciples Jesus loved, John was most loved by the Lord because the Bible calls him “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” Then one day, I discovered that the phrase, “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” only appears in John’s Gospel. In other words, it was John who called himself the disciple whom Jesus loved!

Was John being arrogant? Did Jesus love him more than the rest? No, Jesus loved all 12 disciples the same, but John knew it and he personalized and practiced Jesus’ love for him.

My friend, that’s what you ought to do too. Don’t just say, “Yes, yes, Jesus loves everybody.” Say, “Jesus loves ME!” Say, “I am the student whom Jesus loves,” or “I am the mom whom Jesus loves!” Every day, personalize, practice and rest in Jesus’ love for you. Expect good things to happen to you when you believe that Jesus loves YOU in an intimate and personal way!

Forget The Past, See Jesus Do A New Thing!

...but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13–14

Forget The Past, See Jesus Do A New Thing!

Despite having repented and getting saved, Apostle Paul could have dwelled on his serious past mistake of persecuting the early church. He could have chosen to live a life of regret and thus fail to fulfill God’s call on his life. But he didn’t. Instead, he chose to forget the past, “reaching forward to those things which are ahead.”

My friend, don’t live in the past. Whether it’s a failed marriage, a huge mistake you made, or a hurtful remark from someone, leave them all in the past and move forward. By all means, learn from your mistake. But look to Christ as your success, wisdom, comfort and strength, and see Him do a new thing in your life by His unmerited favor.

See Him giving you stronger and blessed relationships through His wisdom and grace. See Him giving you a better job with better benefits. See Him restoring your health sevenfold. Consider not “the things of old,” but consider or meditate on His better promises (Hebrews 8:6). That’s how you move forward into His good success!

Miyuki: "Nothing in particular. Do you want to go out?"

Miyuki: "Okay, see you in a bit."

"Miyuki, there's a cafe called Montana Brew Bar here at Pomo. It looks good, wanna try it out?"

"Hmm, okay, there are not many people here but at least, they are still open at 9PM on a weekday. Why don't we start ordering?"

"Okay, hello there, we want to order one fresh apple juice, one hot mocha, and green tea waffle with lavender ice cream."

"The apple juice is really fresh. So glad the cafe does not serve those apple juices which come from a box."

"But Miyuki, if you see the sign there, Montana Brew Bar seems quite good with their coffee. I don't understand why you chose to drink apple juice here. Hehe."

Singing makes me happy

“I only sing in the shower. I would join a choir, but I don’t think my bathtub can hold that many people. ” - Jarod Kintz

Hello everyone, how has your Sunday been? I has just come back from a karaoke session with my singing buddy. It has been postponed for we don't know how many times and oh boy, we really had a fun singing (and screaming) our lungs out. The fun things about karaoke is you learn about each other songs preference and you can learn new fun songs which you never hear before. Some songs that I sing are the songs that I heard in my dance class before (thanks Shbam and Body Jam class) and they are fun to sing especially when your singing buddy attend those gym classes too. Hahaha.

I find Meghan Trainor's songs to be quite fun to sing. My friend sang Marvin Gaye and I just heard it for the very first time. You can check out the song in the link below.

Another fun song that I sang in the karaoke session is actually quite new to me. I just heard it few days ago in the Sh'bam class. It's called You Don't Own Me (#ydom) by Grace. It's quite fun to sing and dance to this song. =P

What are your favorite karaoke songs?
