Gabrielle speaks: "God is Wiping Away the Tears"

Gabrielle is an awesome sister from the KL campus ministry, her pure-heartedness for God and her constant love for people is an example for us to follow.

Good morning to those faraway
Good morning to those whom i love & care
Good morning to those sick & needed encouragement
Good morning to those who loves me dearly

Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"

I was SO stunned when i read the chapter's title of my book... "God is Wiping Away the Tears"

God's way of responding really makes my jaw drop. today, He responded to my yesterday cry through the first sentence of my quite time book. He's telling me, "yes girl, i heard you, and i'm gonna wipe them off, because i listened and i care!"

This morning i woke up, deciding, "today should be my outward-focusing day." as this evening, the PJ Campus are on our 2nd week of Campaign Month. i need to dail the numbers, do the talking, smile the brightest... basically get the most out of myself.

Looking deep into my heart, i knew i am a selfish one. because at times, i don't go after people who walked pass me, i pick & choose my fishes, i am reserved in sharing. and as i always encourage & push myself: "let Him be the reason." for the self-denial, for the time, for the people out there... let God be my reason to breathe and do whatever He wanted me to do.

For those who are meeting me tonight, keep me in account. knock me on my head when i seem less effective. i wanna shine & not hold back, & humbly i knew i can't do that without the help from you.

The other reason for this morning's decision, is because yesterday i started my day with an inward-focused attitude. the night before going to church, i made a friend of mine cry as i share about some experience & joy i had, then i slept really late... then as i drive to church, i was crying & crying as i pray, i didn't know what contibutes to such sentiment. but i knew i wanted this for the longest period of time... and i thanked God for softening my heart throughout the days. so i could just breakfree and cry in His arms.

From Mark's *The Prayer of the Righteous*:
"Because God gives men freedom to choose, there is suffering on earth. then when we suffer & felt overwhelmed... we can either drop to our knees in prayer, or we can choose to run away. if we choose the former, it gives us a unique chance to draw so much closer to God. He will wipe every tear of our eyes (v4)."

Am i more apt to run to God or to be away? yesterday & today, i chose to be in His comfort. and i hope you who are reading this, will too, choose to be comforted.

Yesterday's worship service was a blast. after church i spent some time with a young Christian... Pui Woon told me again & again, "i am so thankful to God for this & that reason." yes dear, me too. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you, Kok Meng for the mango. Thank you, David for the so-called gift.

Okay, let me stop here as i'm feeling a lil light headed, i need to grab some food :)

Thank you all, for reading & loving me.
