Faith in God - Through the Innocent Heart of a Child One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way He doesn't have to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to the mothers and fathers.
God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this.
God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting His time by going over your Mom and Dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.
Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in my town. At least there aren't any who come to our church.
Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing miracles and people finally got tired of Him preaching to them and they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like His Father, and He told His Father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said, "O.K."
His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done and all His hard work on earth so He told Him He didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So He did. And now He helps His Dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones He can take care of Himself without having to bother God. (Like a secretary, only more important.) You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.
You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God. Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides, the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.
If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared in the dark or when you can't swim and big kids throw you into real deep water.
But…you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He pleases.
And…that's why I believe in God.

Sitting in silence, held in your embrace. It's been a long time since I've experienced that. I would be lying if I said that I've forgotten or let go of you. Even though it has been years since you've left, I still think about your kindness and of the comfortable silence that we used to share all the time. However, I take comfort in the fact that you are now in a better place. You would always be in my thoughts and prayers. I finally went to the prayer meeting at Jurong West today and I have to say that it was great. For weeks, now, I've had some problems discerning the voice of God and I had certain doubts in mind but the moment I sat down and started praying, God talked to me and I was filled with a burden and I could really feel the presence of God in the whole place. I feel that I've really come to the right church as everyone is so hungry for God and spiritually strong. I serve a truly great God. Faith in God. Amen

Despite everything that is happening around me, God would never fail to bring me back as long as I seek him and that He is always there for me no matter how dark the road is. I thank you Father for always being there for me. Anyway, it has been a good weekend so far, first on Friday, I went to celebrate my cell group leader Gloria's birthday. After which, it was down to Holland Village for David's birthday. Today, we went to Gloria's grandmother's house for our outreach program but it didn't proceed the way we had planned it to but by God's grace, we still enjoyed ourselves and it was really a fellowship with my cell group members. I know that tomorrow would be a great day again as I'm placing my trust in God. Friends, God is truly our provider, all we have to do is receive Him in our hearts and do all that is good in His eyes.Trust in God and He will help you to overcome all the disappointments in your life, no matter how dead something may be, God would still be able to do a miracle. Trust in God friends.

I've always hung around the back, hiding between the pages of the book. I just have to say that I'm reliable and should you need me, I would be there but as a result, I feel that I am being taken for granted. Although I know that in the end, it is God who will judge me and that is all that is needed, I just wish that I could be noticed sometimes instead of just always being in the background and helping others when they need it and going back to the shadows when I'm done. I want to feel appreciated, I want people to notice me. Is that too much to ask? Can't you see this even though I'm doing obvious things right in front of you?

Everything is going to pieces. Is this all a test? Help me Father, show me the way. I long for your loving embrace.

Walking on the streets Strangers walking fast past me Tears begin to form
12:35 AM<3
Constant ringing in my ears, While sitting here in silence Out of the corner of my eyes appear tears As I think of your absence.
I may be selfish, In wanting you here But do you know my anguish? I just wish you would appear.
Hiding everything behind all my smiles; Pretending that all is fine, When I really feel like one of the exiles Walking alone on this thin line
I wish you could see That all I need is a friend From all these I wish to be free But emptiness is all I have to contend.
How I wish we could talk To share our joy and fears But as I take a walk, Out of the corner of my eyes appear tears.

Sometimes, it's just the things that aren't said or the things that aren't done that matters and hurts the most. I just wish ...... Never mind. What would you have me do Father? I'm somewhat disappointed that there isn't any service at my church this weekend however I hope that the word at FOP will be good and that I can truly feel recharged for the next week. Show me the way Father, help me, guide me.
