I almost touched the moon

Yesterday, I saw the moon face to face. I don’t care whether you think I’m lunatic or what but I just saw the moon. It was so close that I could touch it! The moment I saw it, I just stopped in the middle of the street staring at that big thing in the sky and started crying and crying until I got to the office. How in the world can anybody “create” a moon??? Now, tell me honestly. If I give you a million dollars, would you be able to “create” a moon?!


When I was young, I am always amazed every time I see tall buildings. I just think that it is amazing. Even now, when I see buildings at the window of our break room, I am still in awe at how magnificent the buildings around are. Who takes credit of these buildings? “My dad was the architect of that building” Someone takes credit of that. And how about the moon? Who takes credit of that thing in the sky?? None! None but God! It was just sooo amazing to realize how awesome God is! He is the only One who can create the moon, sun, stars, the entire universe!


Do you believe in God? If you care about your life and the life after your life here on earth, allow me to share with you one very important message… “God loves you and died in the cross for your sins” I know that long ago you might say. I understand. I knew that too long ago but did not do anything about it. If you love Jesus, how are you showing it? Trying hard to be good? God wants your heart. Your whole heart! I invite you to talk to God tonight and ask Him forgiveness for all the wrong things that you have done in your life. Ask Him to help you turn away from it and that from this day forward you will follow His ways. Let Him be your Lord and Savior.


If you got a Bible at home, read it everyday. Read God’s love letter to you.


Look around. See God’s magnificence through His creation and remember God every time you see the moon…

Everyday!

What to say, Lord? It's
You who gave me life and I
Can't explain just how
Much You mean to me now
That You have saved me, Lord
I give all that I am to You
That everyday I can
Be a light that shines Your name


Everyday, Lord, I'll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me with every single step I take, that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world


Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord


Everyday, Lord, I'll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me with every single step I take, that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world


Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord


It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday


Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord


Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord


(This is exactly what my heart wanted to say today.... and everyday!)

Prayer of a child

Last week in the middle of class, Sean asked me “Teacher, when can we pray?” I said we could pray anytime – the moment we wake up, before we eat, while walking, anytime! He reminded me that I told him to pray before he sleeps so he thought that was the only time we could pray.


I sensed that something was bothering this little boy so I inquired some more. “Why? Is there anything you want to pray about?”


He didn’t answer immediately. “Well, yeah. My friend and I fought.”


I just smiled and asked, “Would you like to pray now?” He just looked at me without saying anything but his eyes were shouting a big “YES”


So, we closed our eyes and prayed. It was like there was a certain feeling of relief in Sean’s eyes after I prayed for him.


The next day…


“Teacher! God answered our prayer! We are friends again! Thank you” =) My heart was smiling, “God, that was sure sweet. Thank you for restoring their friendship”


On the same day while having class, he noticed that I was not as energetic as I always do. He asked me what was wrong. I told him I had canker sore and my teeth cracked (literally) and it was really painful (too painful that I couldn’t concentrate so much in class). And this is what he said…


“Teacher, we have to pray…” (I almost cried)


“Can you pray for me?” I said. Then, he led a prayer to our Abba Father to heal my pain.


One of the sweetest prayers I ever heard.
