Justice, Mercy... Grace
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
One of my friend explained the meaning of Justice, Mercy and Grace in our bible study at the elderly place when one of the attendees ask how would you define grace. She uses an example of a car being park on the side street.. a very expensive car, and suddenly you hit the rear of that car and the owner is just right on the side seeing the whole thing that happened.. when you handle it with justice the owner will tell you "You have to pay for the damage, because you are at fault." When it's mercy he will say "Ow, it's okay I'll let you go since your car is already old." but when it's grace he will not only say "I'll let you go since your car is already old" but he also tell you "how about I give you $50,000 and go buy yourself a new car." Grace is something that a gift that we don't deserve, and we need to accept that gift to have the grace. =)
Imagine if God said that we have to work our way to heaven.. no one will make it! Thank You Lord for paying it all for us.. thank You for Your love.. thank You that Your grace is for everybody =D

Uncomfortable, afraid.. Holy Spirit be my guide
God knows how uncomfortable I am and that I have to step forward but too scared of rejection, but the Lord is just so sweet and reminded me that I cannot face them by myself, He's there.. He sends His Holy Spirit to be our Counselor (John 14:26). This evening while taking the bus to church I was listening to my mp3 and heard this song talks about what I'm feeling and just confirms me that I have to fix my eyes on the Him and not on the circumstances I'm in.. just like how Peter started walking on water because he started trusting Jesus when He told him to follow Him.. but once he started looking at the waves of the ocean, the storm that they are in he starts sinking.. but we also know the part where he started calling on the name of the Lord and Jesus helped him (Matthew 14:22-23). Thank You Lord for giving us Your Word

Manga Bible
I found this last month and I think It's a really cool idea. I've seen a lot of picture bibles and it's all good, of course a real bible is better. You can't find passages in picture bible like in the normal bible. And you have to expect them on para phrasing it. And if it's a way of sharing God's word then there's nothing wrong about it.
Not all countries have the same privilege we have when it comes to reading the Bible. In other countries they even get killed if you don't spit on the bible when they ask you to.

The March of the Unqualified
“God can’t use me, or at least he shouldn’t use me.” We’ve probably all thought it at some point. However, the Bible shows us that God uses flawed people in powerful ways. Over and over again we find that our shortcomings are an opportunity for God to teach us to rely on Him. Consider the people featured in this video, they were just as unqualified as you. They all possessed very real weaknesses and faced very real challenges, but now we remember them for their faithfulness. It is important to recognize that just like those before us, God desires to use all of us for His glory despite our fallen human condition.
"I Can Do All Things in Him That Strengthens Me"
Philippians 4:13
