joy

i want to have real joy all the time, not the joy where it's forced, not the joy where i'm faking it, but real joy that comes from knowing I'm saved and that I'm loved and thus go forward with that same joy to love others. had an interesting time with evelyn, portia, and jasmine where we shared a bit and just prayed, truly prayed to God and i just wish i could constantly be reminded of the greatness of His Gospel and have JOY in Christ. i know i'm falling so short of this and even just today i've had so many time when i find it tough to be joyous and to be selfless but i just pray so hard then and there that i remember to be all loving and focus my eyes on Him and not me. when i take my eyes off Him, i begin to fall into sin and concentrate on me. nooo!! may Christ be the center of my life.

anyways overall i had a really nice day. i went over to nathan's and watched 'the place promised in our early days' and it was nice hanging out with him even though we were kind of bored sometimes and he got frustrated after having to tell me what to do and me not responding fast enough ahah but yeah after not seeing him for 2 terms it's nice! and thank you "yeehong" for having us over again and cooking for us and letting us use their place for a movie night!

God take the spotlight and not me, please humble me!! please help me give up my desires for You :)

Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Micah 6:8
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
