Titus 3: 1- 8

1.Obedient ,Subject to authority 
2.Be ready to do whatever is good
3.Slander NO ONE
4.be peaceable
5.Be considerate
6.Show true humility towards EVERYONE


This are the points given in the verse, point that God wants us to have, We are "reminded" to be this. Leader or not we are all the children of God, we are his people his followers and this is his command, Sometimes I think being a "leader" give me the right to do stuff but I am wrong the line is clear God has set the standards for all humans everyone who wants to follow him.We are all living in a world surrounded by sin,we were once the opposite of the points stated, until God appeared which is so true, Yes us as humans we are born sinful, we hurt people who get hurt, But it because we have God we could be different, God is kind God is mighty and loving and we as his follower's must follow. Because through his mercy we are saved we are given the chance to be like christ to live a meaningful life for God. In verse 8 it says that the points given must be stressed to those who has decided to follow God. trust God. These points are good. 

Although we may live in a sinful world, we may be sinful in our past, But now that we have made the decision to follow christ, we are given a chance through Jesus dying on the cross, we are able to change, and learn from the perfect God we have. 






Dearest Father, 
Today reading about all this points really is a wake up call to me, I know how stubborn I can be how proud I am and sometimes out of anger I say things about others without thinking.Father reading this verse encourages me as it reminds me how we have been given a chance, through you giving up your son for us, It reminds me that I am the heir to enternal glory father. But at the same time it cuts through me, As I feel like you are trying to tell me its time I changed father.


Father I know at many times I am very proud about things, I tend to get very judgmental and I pin point every small mistake people around me make, However at the same time I think I am like some kinda wonder woman, I expect myself to be perfect no mistakes. And thats just so proud so arrogant of me. Even when I struggle, many time I keep everything to myself, I don't get help thinking I'll be fine. But I expect others to get help the moment a hint of unhappiness is in them, Many times I do not practice what I preach and I am sorry for that father.


But dearest father I really want to thank you for this week, I'm having my holidays and I am very happy with myself, That I am studying and having fun having a healthy balance, Even yesterday at the party I am so glad I got the chance to sneak of half way to have a prayer session with tasmin by the pool under the pretty and calm night sky by the beach, I ha d such a good time praying together with her, its been forever since I last prayed with her, And even on monday at my party w my friends No other christian was there but I had self control over myself, Though I did drink I knew I had to stop before I got drunk and luckily I did, Seeing my friends drunk really woke me up, Of how different I am. I used to be the one drunk and mad but now I am the mature one with the self-control. And after that one of my friends in a way respected me and I was so happy . Now looking back I really see a difference in myself. WIthout you I don't know where will I be right now. I probably would be rotting away smoking somewhere with bad company. I am just so thankful for you being in my life father.




However I know I've neglected my time with you. And its my bad habit I often delay my time with you till I miss it, I promise it will stop and that I will put your first no mater what.sometimes I just need to know whats important its not that I want to do other things first its just that I've always pushed our time later, And I know thats not the right way I will change I promise father..


Father tomorrow I am meeting jasmine and sarah and steffi and yingjuin ! we are gonna have a picnic and I pray for a great weather so we could all bond! Father these girls are so young, yet they are searching for you, they want to do whats right and I am so so so so thankful for that. I pray that they will be impacted by your word and that they will strong and shine for you father. I pray for each of their safety both physically and spiritually father, They are such great girls And I know you have your plan for them father.


Dearest father I am so amazed by how you lead everyone, IN the teens I see so many awesome girls just wanting to do great for you, And its amazing how you raised them up, even th leaders, Everytime I see a really spiritual person I just can't imagine how much better you will be father.
Father, yesterday at sentosa cove the place was soooo beautiful and I just can't imagine how great the rest of the world is, that YOU created everything father. YOU are the one. Seeing how awesome earth is I just can't help but wonder, How beautiful is heaven gonna be? to think I might have a space up there with you father. Father Whenever I draw I need to take time and then I think how much effort you must have placed into creating such a beautiful place for us. even the solar system father! You are truly amazing how you lead the world and made us know your word for centuries you are the one religion that never dies ! Almost every religion is related to you father that really is prove to how it is impossible to ignore the fact that you are well and alive father!-Father I pray for a great day tomorrow and for teens and christians all over the world that they will stay strong cause they have you and you are everything father! 



Thankyou so much for everything I love you so much In jesuse name
Amen.
Your daughter,Rebecca
