Forgiveness

Image
There are only two weeks left until Easter. I have been spending lots of time lately to think about our Lenten cantata. God gave me a strong word or theme for the cantata; "forgiveness." I don't know why and what I need to do for that. However, whenever I have tried to avoid the word, God has made me sure that I am following His word. He must have planned that He would like to see the people who have been problem with forgiveness. I honestly don't have problem with anyone yet what that I know of. Because Jesus died for us, our sins are forgiven eternally. I do not know what to make people to forgive each other except prayers. I don't know what God wants. I do know that He does not accept or forgive us unless we forgive ourselves for sure. I am still struggling what to do following the cantata, but praying that God shows me vivid image what I need to do. Would you like to pray with me for the Cantata night? I have felt very urgent that He has called people for forg...

Happy birthday to me~! Yes, today, I turned forty!! YEAH! Yes, I am happy to be forty as I shared before. If you think about life which lasts around 80, I lived half way. And another half has just started. It is time to grow in Spirit and closer to the Lord! My life has been blessed in many many ways and God, my heavenly Father, has been leading me so faithfully. I am just so grateful that I am saved early in my life and have had great experiences what and how God has been working in my life. Most of all, He always blesses me to have many good people around me from beginning of my life. I am just overly blessed even though I don't deserve all! His loving kindness endures forever! Now, it is time to grow and make fruits from my forty years of life; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control .

Create me in a clean heart

I am not good at cleaning, sorting, or filing even though I spent lots of time for them. I don't mind doing those. Some people say "I hate cleaning". But for my case, I don't hate but I am not good at. Do you get the differences? I spend more than other people who are good at cleaning for cleaning but result is worse. I sometime wants to hire some people to do it for me. Anyway, today was our church cleaning day. Jason and I cleaned the Sanctuary as well as the hall way walls with oil. While I was cleaning dust off from each congregation seats, I prayed for people as well as myself that Lord cleanse me with His blood and give us a clean heart. As we know, we need to cleaning often to keep the clean condition. If we do often, it takes less timing and effort but if we postpone and clean only once in a while, it takes many hours as well as our energy and effort. It is same as our heart. If I keep postponing to confess or admit my sin or fault, it roots deeply and hard to...

Yes, finally... March is here! I think the person who named this month as March, did a wonderful job. March is a such active month especially among natures. March is also waking my senses; smell, sight, hearing, tasting, and touching; yellow flowers, green leaves, birds singing, tasty spring vegetables, and so on. In Korea, we start our schools on March as the first semester; new schools, classes, friends and so forth. I remember that I used to be very tired and kind of cranky and moody because of all those changes environment in March. The weather is still bitter in Seoul but you had to wear "Spring" clothes to be a cool kids. So, I had to wear colorful thin jackets in cold March. I do remember how cold it was but did not mind being cold because it is Spring. My mom used to make a special soup with spring vegetable. Hmm ... I could smell it still. On the other hand, March is special because I was born in the month. I was supposed to be born in middle of April but I came out...
