Who am i
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Teens' Suicide Pact:
"A self-professed medium, Witaya had convinced his group of friends to join him in a suicide pact. He said they had to die to be resurrected as slayers to kill demons and save the world. The group of about seven had been going to his home every Friday since 2006 for rituals and spiritual activities.
Witaya would go into trances, which he had been performing since he was about 13. He could communicate with the gods of hell and heaven and would give his followers advice about their problems. Later, Witya formed a group called Sheng Long Fu, using his flat as a temple."
I feel so angry. I feel so sad. I feel so heart-wrenched. I feel my Lord's pain. He loves everyone of these boys. They are too precious to Him. I don't blame these boys. They were ignorant about what they were dabbling with. These spiritual things are so real. They are not ghosts and fabricated stories that we sometimes scare each other with during camps. Those ghosts aren't even anything to be afraid of! The real spirits/demons are what the boys encountered and described in the articles. Going into a trance. Deepening of voice. Speaking in fluent Hokkien. Smoking because the "gods" want to satisfy its evil desires. Speaking lies and evil thoughts into you about committing suicide to save the world... Beware. These are not gods. These are demons! They are written about all over in the bible. And we have casted out demons like these in church throughout my entire life. I know how they're like. How can God ever wish to bring harm to a person?? How can a loving God ever be like this??
If demons are real, how much more real God is. Because only God, my Lord, can subdue all these demons under His authority. Reading this case makes me think about my sec4 youths and my Blk 574 kids. How they are so vulnerable to the influences and lies of this world. But I pray and know the Lord watches over everyone of them, especially since we have committed each of them to the Lord. All of them are precious little children of our Lord.
And so the wise sayings of the Lord goes: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God..." Ephesians 6: 12-13

I am nothing. He is all.
I do nothing of my own. He does it.
I am God's pencil.
A tiny bit of pencil with which He writes what He likes.
God writes through us,
and however imperfect instruments we may be,
He writes beautifully.
