Event: Mom's Birthday Sunday @Hachimitsu
Here and Now:
I had a good enough sleep last night, although I kept waking up because of the thundering rain and I prayed that my dogs would not be scared but be comforted by GOD. At the beginning of my sleep I dreamt of so many cockcroach that are in the Dinning table coming into the Living Room, and I just hid from them because they were too many - cockroach is a sign of dirt.

ScripturesPsalms 15
New King James Version
The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the Lord
A Psalm of David.
1 Lord, who may [a]abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;
3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he [b]take up a reproach against his friend;
4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Deuteronomy 7:12-8:10
English Standard Version
12 “And because you listen to these rules and keep and do them, the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the steadfast love that he swore to your fathers. 13 He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you. 14 You shall be blessed above all peoples. There shall not be male or female barren among you or among your livestock. 15 And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you knew, will he inflict on you, but he will lay them on all who hate you.
ObservationIt is not enough for a man to walk uprightly without loving GOD. I have been wrestling with my thoughts and with GOD telling HIM, "AVI, I don't want a man who makes me feel insecure because he is unfaithful to one woman, because there are so many women who likes them, and he likes the attention and the feeling of being chased by these women. This is what I hate most in a man, why do YOU give me someone who I have to feel insecure with??? because he doesn't love me??? How could YOU give me to a man who doesn't not even love YOU? I don't believe that YOU want me to be with someone who doesn't even love YOU... It is not enough for a man to walk righteously without even loving YOU.
ApplicationBut GOD is saying through the WORD of my Scripture reading today that if humans, or men, keep and do HIS commandments, then the Lord our God will keep with us the covenant and the steadfast love that he swore to our fathers. 13 He will love you, bless us, and multiply us. He will also bless the fruit of our womb... So HE is saying, when we obey even without knowing HIM, HE will love us, and is this the reason why I have been loving Stephen because he keeps the command of GOD even without knowing HIM and reading HIS laws? GOD has loved him, but he lacks perfection, HE lacks loving GOD and even keeping the commands is not enough for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of GOD because he was not willing to give up everything to follow JESUS and this is why he would not enter the promise land if Stephen is not willing to give up everything to follow JESUS. As long as Stephen does not love GOD, I have no right to love him like a wife but I can love him as a sister by praying for his salvation and his others, and praying for him, until when??? When GOD has mercy on me.
PrayersDear AVI,O GOD of Heaven and Earth, Creator and Ruler of the entire Universe! KING of Glory YOU reign in majesty, awesome in power and strength! O GOD, YOU are merciful and loving towards all your creation especially to YOUR Children, please GOD have mercy on me and answer my prayers for Stephen and Benita Lao Yu to be saved, let them enter YOUR Kingdom by surrendering their lives to YOU, to follow YOU, seek YOU and know YOU. They cannot love me or accept me without having YOU in their hearts first. Please GOD Knock on his heart day and night do not stop, do not cease to speak to him and give him the hunger and thirst to know YOU and love YOU, let him seek a wife and let him seek me from YOU because I am devoted to YOU and I need YOU to awaken Stephen's Spirit because he is without it, so fill Stephen with YOUR Spirit, let him be full of Grace and power as Stephen the Apostle was. O GOD Almighty, let his stand on YOUR Holy Hill and be blessed even more by loving YOU. Let him to love YOU GOD touch HIS heart to love YOU, YOU can do it! ONLY YOU CAN! I am praying because YOU are making me suffer with the situation YOU have put me in. But I am relying and depending on YOU for every pain and suffering I am going through. For YOU deserve all the glory honor and praise.
IN the Name of JESUS Amen!
