The book of john, it mention various time about who Jesus is. Until now, sometimes, i might have a doubt about who jesus is. Sometimes i asked myself again, whats with me and Christianity?, why am i following this 'way'. or is jesus really is the messiah? i often lose conviction...
but, Looking at this passage, gives me the answers and remind me once again who jesus is.
John8:12- I am the from above.
:20 - I am the good Shepard
-I am the Resurrection
- I am the way and the light.
In john 9:1-4 THE HEALING OF THE BLIND MAN
this is, there were 4 characters.
1. The Neighbour- They saw and heard with their very own ears and eyes, they saw the miracles jesus did. Making the blind see, but they were skeptical.
They were criticising, thinking of ways to find a weak point, or a negative spot. Sometimes when we see something, or heard about it, we tend to find mistrust.
2. The Pharisees- They think of this as a breaking of tradition, that Jesus is a trouble-making prejudice.
They put a limit to their own mindset. To such a standard that they judge everything. They stop and give up seeking, and stop in righteousness. They become Prejudice. They saw, they heard about the blind man, but still they keep questioning him, when the answer was obvious and right in front of their eyes.
3. Parents- they had fear. They did not just make a stand. i mean c'mon, their son was healed, but instead of praising god, and thanking jesus, they felt scared.
and last 4. The blind man. -he was simple in answering: ''i was blind, but now i see''.
Dear god, thank you so much that this awesome lesson was taught by ZQ. god im so happy that aunt grace and her family are here, to help the church, my parents and me. God i have learn sooooooo much just by a story in the bible of yours. It doesn't only help me spiritually, but physically. God im sorry i was so naive and always have a thinking that i am lost, i am following this nonsense, and i always think, was jesus real? like i had soooooooo many doubts.
But god one of the answer is, Jesus changed me. Who in this world will die for my sin? and love me, and promise me i will have eternal life? where can i find words and stories about living the way god wants me to, or the right life? God in this century, this time, if i was not preach to the bible, or not told, god only you know what i will become today.
Sometimes i ask, why jesus? why christian? then i thought back about the word study, about seeking god, sometimes just refreshing back, i gain the answers from different point of view. God i was lost, mess up, and you were there to lift me, change me. And look at me now god, not only my life had change, but my surroundings, was inspired because of my life, of how you use me now, and what i learnt from you.
God, i don't want to be like the neighbours, pharisees, or the blind man parents. I want to be like the blind man. God i was blind, but now i can see. That's me. You open up my eyes, show me what life is all about, what LOVE is all about. God you were there to pull my parents back together. They were literally falling apart, but because of you god. they manage to fix things.
God i really want to pray that my conviction will continue to grow, god i want to grow for you. I know how power full you are and how much you love me. God, there is no other greater love than you. I pray that i will learn, how to love. God you are not only powerful but gentle.
God i will be having my trials tmr, pls help me through because i know i really do need you. God please, i want to do well in this trials, and my SPM. :D
god i want to pray for my relationship with my sister, god pls teach me how to be a good example, and i want to love her and want her to know that i love her and care about her. God please open my heart, and hers.
God i love you so much, thank you again for what you have done in my life, all this amazing miracles. In jesus name i pray, Amen.

Chapter 4
God i have been really into the book of Acts. At first i didnt pay deep attention, i thought it was just stories about paul, and how churches were formed. But then few months ago, my dad really sat down, and teach verse by verse about the book of ACTS, i realised that it was not stories, but yes a really convicting message from you.
God i learn how much the diciple in the old days, how much they did for you. God they didnt have cars to travel, or technology to contact each other, in-fact they had nothing of the materialistic things in the world.
But god i learnt that what kept them living strong was their faith in you. God they trusted you, you who lead them out of egpyt, out of slavery. You how changed them, perform wondorous miricales. God those who belives in you, you work in them. You support them, take care of them.
God sometimes i always fear for what my future will turn out. Will i stay here forever? god i love kk so much, and i would really want to help this church grow. But sometimes i just wish, if i could, or can explore out of m'sia. Get awesome life changing experiences, know new culture. But god i know that you already make the plans for me, and i belive that it will be better and bigger than what i hope for.
God i always worry, about the clothes i wear....places i go, choice i make. but god you said this:
Matthew 6:25-34 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
And reading about the lifes of all the apostles, they never worry about anything, They just follow your command, do what you asked them to do. And they were all taken care of.. Amazing appostles that encourages me like Paul, Philip, Peter and Stephen, John mark, Barnabas,Timothy and soooooooo much more god. God looking at all their lifes, how much faith thay had, the their heart for you god, really show me that what i am doing with my life is not enough.
God i am still clinging for support, im afraid to step down, afraid to ask, i fear things will be different, ppl will try to stay away from me. Like god preching the word of you, I choose ppl whom i think will accept me. But god, i want to thank you that you open their hearts, and they came for bible talk, they tell me about their struggles. God i really pray you will teach me how to help them, god i really want to teach them about your word. For it change my life 360degrees. and god i want help them in their life too. God beeing a teenager, i know how much that a friend means. God as this age, friends play a really huge role in life, and god i pray that you will teach me how to be a good friend. God you are the bestest friend anybody could every ask for, you are ALWAYS there, always forgiving us, and always making wonderfull things happen in our life.
God please, i want to learn from you :) God i pray that i will learn to reach out to more people, and not by choosing them. God i pray i can help gregory, farah, cornelius, gary, aunt jennifer, selina, ian. God please open their hearts god. They are such amazing ppl, whom play really important role in my life god. God i want to pray for Irean, chong wei yin, brendan, xin yii, ching, nelson, milton, malvin, gerard, thomson, adrian. God all this pppl thirst for you god, god i pray you let me into their life, god i really want to help them and be their awesome friend.
So high school is going to end in 2months, i will be having my trials next week, and SPM in 2 months time. God will make every second count, i do not want to waste any god because i have not much time left, andd i might even be separated from my friends above. God in this 2 months, i pray that you will teach me, help me and support me. Because god i know that you are capable of doing anything,and you are my father.
God i love you so much, thank you again for opening my heart, and now i want to opens others. In jesus name i pray, amen.
