A teacup story

God knows what He's doing for each of us. He is the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us and make us, and expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we may be made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect will. Here's a piece of article that I would like to share with you guys. It has truly blessed me so much. It made me think back of how GREAT our GOD has been all these years! Having to go through all the turmoils in life knowing He is always at work of molding and teaching us new things each time. One true and faithful living God. So guys, if you're going through some ups and downs now...don't give up but rejoice because it is HIM! Enjoy reading....

There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antique sand pottery, and especially teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful." As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't understand. I have not always been a teacup. There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, 'Don't do that. I don't like it! Let me alone.' But he only smiled, and gently said; 'Not yet!'"

"Then. WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. 'Stop it! I'm getting so dizzy! I'm going to be sick,' I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, quietly; 'Not yet.'

"He spun me and poked and prodded and bent me out of shape to suit himself and then… Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. Help! Get me out of here! I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, 'Not yet'." "When I thought I couldn't bear it another minute, the door opened. He carefully took me out and put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good! Ah, this is much better, I thought. But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. 'Oh, please; Stop it, Stop it!' I cried. He only shook his head and said. 'Not yet!'."

"Then suddenly he put me back in to the oven. Only it was not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. I was convinced I would never make it. I was ready to give up. Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the shelf, where I cooled and waited......and waited, wondering "What's he going to do to me next? An hour later he handed me a mirror and said 'Look at yourself.'" "And I did. I said, 'That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful!'

Quietly he spoke: 'I want you to remember, then,' he said, 'I know it hurt to be rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life. If I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't have survived for long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. Now you are what I had in mind when I first began with you."

(Author Unknown)

So when life seems hard, and you are being pounded and patted and pushed

almost beyond endurance; when your world seems to be spinning out of control; when you feel like you are in a fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink", try this....

Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest teacup, sit down and think on this story and then, have a little talk with the Potter.

Now that's awesome or what huh!? I hope this had encouraged you guys as much as how it had to me. And also continue to trust and believe in the Lord on everything ok?
Till then my friends!

Worship

Heyoooo ppl!!!So So sorry guys and girls for the oh-so long delay.
How's everyone ??? Still counting up all the ka-ching$$ from your angpaos eh?? XD

Alright, as this month is our youth's Worship Emphasis Month I'll be updating on something that has been shared by our brother Melvin Lee aka Mello. Still remember those pictures he had shown us..man, I tell you, I'm still awestrucked by it till today! And so today's update is gonna be about WORSHIP.
So...here it goes.

Acts16:23-26 (Go read k ?)

In these verses as you can see, it's about Paul and Silas praising and worshiping God in their lowest and darkest moment, but they still choose to sing praises and pray so loudly in front of everyone. And while they were doing so, an earthquake happened, foundations of the prison were shaken, the prison doors were opened, and the prisoner's band were loosen.

What was happening actually?
You see, while Paul and Silas were praising and worshiping God, God on His mobile throne comes to them and dwell among them, God Himself was there with them. That is why it's important to start a service with prayer and worship. It shakes foundations that are holding us back from worshiping and open the doors and loosen the chain on us. When we focus our eyes on God and set our hearts right before Him, God will be there, for sure.
Psalms22:3- God inhabits in the praises of His people.

This shows us that we don't have to be in the right mood to worship God. Paul and Silas didn't complain and cry and pat each other's shoulders with apathy, they sang and prayed to God.
Many times we choose our mood and time to praise God, but do you think that's the right thing to do ? Hmm...what will your answer be ?

If you look up in the skies, you can see the sun in the morning, the stars and moon at night. Didn't God created all that ? Even the universe, every planet, the uncountable stars, isn't He the creator?

Yet, Jesus Christ, was not only willing to die for us, but was willing to come all the way through the universe, to a rock called Earth to die for us. Nothing stopped Him from doing all these for us, no not His emo-ness, not His anger, NOTHING. He died on the cross out of love, unconditional love.

We, as Christians shouldn't we be loving God more after knowing all that He had done for us?
Shouldn't we be praising and worshiping Him all the time even in our lowest condition?

God's fingerprints are everywhere, always full of mercy, grace and love.

Worship, is how much we express our feelings and thankfulness to what He has done, and for who He is. Never too young, never too old, no matter where, no matter when.

Yeap, I think that's all for today. Happy belated Valentine's Day! and a very happy new year! =)
Jesus loves you !
