The Chinese word for Happiness is Kai Xing which literally means "Open Heart".
It is very apt as no one can truly be happy without opening one's heart to someone or something.
A person whose heart is closed due to past hurts can never truly be happy. Only Jesus can do 'open heart surgery' in the soul of a person to heal and transform so as to bring real happiness and joy.
May you open your heart to Jesus the Healer today so as to receive His joy.

ABCDEFGH
Admit we are sinners unable to save ourselves. Let us run to God's way of salvation given as a gift through Jesus Christ.
Believe we need Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to save us. Let us surrender our lives to Him who will give us a new and eternal life.
Confess that we have receive God's forgiveness and acceptance through putting our trust in His Son. Let us daily keep short accounts with God, asking Him for forgiveness when we sin and allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from inside out.
Decide that we follow Jesus everyday of our lives. Let us faithfully trust and obey Him in all things which will work out for our good and for His glory.
Enter into all that God has for us in this life and beyond. Let us walk in His ways that we may show those yet to believe what it means to have eternal and abundant life in Christ.
Faith - we do all things in faith and through faith in the Lord who helps us. . Let us exchange our fears with faith and believe that our God is greater than all our fears and anxieties.
Grace - we were saved by grace and now live in grace. Let us draw strength from the Lord's grace which is sufficient for each day of our lives and move out of our comfort zone to embrace all He has for us.
Heart - we need to guard our hearts that it remains soft and pliable like clay for God to mould us and shape us to be like His Son. Let us ask God for a heart that seeks Him and a heart that is like His.

Unconditional
As I contemplate on this word "unconditional", I remembered how the Lord saved me years ago.
Truly His LOVE was unconditional.
Born into a family that had no history of believers, I first came into contact with the Living Christ when I was 13. Why me and not my other siblings? Why me and not my cousins?
The joy of knowing He died for me to save me was immensely liberating. But fellowship with other believers was short-lived as my parents were against it.
Without fellowship, my faith grew cold and for a while I drifted and slid back into my old ways. The world's temptation loomed larger and more attractive each day. I was sucked into the lies of the evil one.
But THANKS be to God who broke through 6 years later when I was 19 to reveal how His love and His holiness cannot let me stay the same but can change me from inside out.
All these years since that day have been filled with His guidance and help. Nothing beats walking in fellowship with our Mighty Creator!

THANK GOD FOR FRIDAY
Without Good Friday we would not have Resurrection Sunday - our Hope of Eternal Life with God.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to do what no man can do.
He died to pay for our sins and rose again to give us the gift of eternal life. All we need to do is to believe Him.
May the Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit enable us all to share God's plan of life and salvation to those He brings in our path.

You don't know when..
I am reminded recently of the truth that your life is not in your hands. God holds your life and the length of it.
My mother passed away quickly recently. One moment she was having breakfast with me and the next she slipped into eternity to be with the Lord.
Hence for all of us: be always ready to meet the Lord. Do what He has assigned you to do one day at a time.
Plan that you may live long but live each day as if it may be your last.

Miracle in Egypt
God is at work even if we aren't. May His Kingdom come soon.
A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was
reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby
and an 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE!
The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will
be executed at the end of July.
The older girl was asked how she had survived and she
says:- 'A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding
wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up
my mom so she could nurse my sister,' she said. She was
interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim
woman news anchor. She said on public TV, 'This was none other
than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!'
Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle.

New Decade - What's in store?
2010 is not only the beginning of a new year but a new decade. What's in store for this decade? Is the Lord coming this decade?
For sure, the signs of His coming is increasing in regularity and number.
As Scripture records, "The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed."(Rom 8:19). The Lord is waiting till the last of His called ones who respond in faith to come into His kingdom then He will return to establish His dominion.
What about you, dear reader? Are you ready to meet Jesus Christ, the Lord of lords and the King of kings? He loves you, died for you and rose again so that you can have eternal life with Him. Have you asked Him to take control of your life so that you can truly live? If not, why don't you ask Him today?
Just pray, "Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again so that I can receive eternal life when I put my trust in You. Please forgive my sins and I now release control of my life into Your Hands. Help me to grow to know You and love You more till the day I meet You face to face. Thank You."
If you have sincerely prayed the prayer above, now go and tell what you have done to another Christian friend and ask him/her to help you settle into a church so that you can be in fellowship which is essential for growth.
If you do not know any, write a comment on this blog and let me know so that I can help you.
May the Lord Jesus open your eyes and heart to see and know Him this new year and decade.
