Only 1...
Let put it this way, imagine u have a servant, and u r the master. Wat would u do when u find out ur servant has another master?? i bet you will be thinking whether ur servant can perform the duties. And to ensure that to be done u demand a full focus on ur housework only and thus the servant have to neglect another. Similarly, when we love our money, and since money is use to buy/ pay etc. We tend to look for more money, till it come to a point that money is like our life. And resulting we neglect God.
Well u may argue that without money how to survive?? Yeah is true without money we cant survive the daily expenditures. But when we turn money into the very reason that we are on this earth, then there is where u r wrong. We are created for God and not for money. besides we humans created money, so u wan to be a slave for money?? Now when we follow God, it is written that he will provide all our needs - Philippians 4:19 : And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. So when we follow God serve Him whole heartedly and do everything according to His word, He will provide us with everything we need.
Heroes....

Prayer...
Matthew 6 verse5, it says '...do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men....' Well this doesn't mean we can not pray outside in the public but where as what is referring here is the motive of praying outside. If we are to pray outside to show people how 'holy or how good their prayer are or to show how prayer-ful they are' the motive there is wrong. We do our prayer is mainly for God to hear our prayers and be answer according to His time. And our prayer should be from our heart and we should be humble as i think we are asking form God. And in verse 6 it says we should go into our rooms and pray this to show that we are humble when praying, not to show off to people. I think it is base on this verse that today's Christians are taught to pray with thier eyes close and heads bowed. I also once heard that another reason y we close our eyes is so that we wont be distracted by the things around us. Since it is a prayer and it is for God, we should focus our hearts unto God.
Now the more important part is the prayer. In Matthew 6:9-13 the prayer goes
hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one"
Now that was from Matthew in Luke it is similar but with a little different as Luke was a Physician by profession and the purpose of his writing the Gospel was for the high rank Romans at that time to read. But for me over the years in church i've been saying that prayer this way
hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us of our sins,
as we forgive those who sins against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours,
now and forever, Amen."
Practically it has the same foundation as been laid by Jesus. As i mention earlier that this the very foundation how our prayer should structure as the prayer covers every point that we should everyday pray for. Look at first sentences of the prayer, when we pray we are acknowledging God as our Father. Then it goes on to say that we surrender everything to Him, 'Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven'. And follow on the prayer goes on to say 'Give us today our daily bread' which means that we are to be taught about His word everyday. And this prayer also consist of forgiveness, 'Forgive us of our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us'. This is not only asking for forgiveness but also to be taught to forgive others. 'Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil' And this is the part we ask for protection against the devil's work on us and to provide us with everything we need to prevent us from sinning. And the last line, 'For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours now and forever' it means that everything in this world is God's and we are laying it all into His hands.
Now u may say that wat is this the prayer that we are to pray everyday and cant pray about others??...yes we could pray for other things but then this prayer is useful for it covers most important things that we as Christians should grow on. Besides it is the prayer that is taught by our Lord Jesus!!

Love letter....
But come to think of it, in this era is there anymore love letter left?? I mean love letter is the physical letter that people write on a piece of papers sharing all the love to the other. I guess in this post modern era it is called love email!? dont you think so?? or mayb called love sms. i mean with everyone so used to the convenient and efficientcy of emails and sms writting letters has become an 'only an ancient would do' thing. But i find that writting a love is a nice hting coz each hav to wait for the letter and when they receive it, and after all the waiting to send back and forth and not able to c each other for a long period, with all the longings for each other being build up in them...they just want to open the letter and read the letter with eagerness. then when just read the lovely words from the other side, thier hearts melt with love and joy just by reading the letter. i think that is an wonderful feeling dont you think so?!

Hunger....
Anyway...that is the physical needs. We always forget we need to be spiritually hungry too. Not to be full with air but to read God's word and meditate on it. Well those 2 sentences sound wierd and diff coz it kinda contradict each other...yeah..well coz both is just as important for our spiritual life. Y be hungry spiritually??..coz that way we would wan more of God's word, and with God's word, not only will we be filled but also we will hunger more...it is a process all over again..hehe. And everytime we read it tells something different and we will be filled with new understanding. And of course occasionally we are taught the same things coz that way we are refresh of wat we learn. I mean, if u can rememebr everything wat we hav learn in this world then i think we have super brains coz we can remember everything but in real life, we aren't that great. So dun go whining about y i'm learning this when i've ady learn coz u need to be refreshed and reminded wat u have learn. And recently that i've been doing my devotion i've been filled. And still wan more.
And i want to thank Charis for helping me do my devotion and memorizing verses...as some of u might know i dun do my devotion or memorize often...but she help me..yeah!!. Praise God for that. so i hope with this i can encourage some but best all lar to do devotion!!

Indescribable...maybe not afterall..think it thru...
To me loving is not only about caring for someone, be there for someone, to love someone for something that please u but rather is the desire to be be with that someone, to have that relationship with someone, and to love also includes loving the whole packge whether it is good or bad. I mean y did God love us??? can u describe y??? coz He created us then we are loved(well that may partly be the reasons y)???, but i think God really love us coz He has the desire to be with us, to have that relationship with us. If nto why go thru the trouble of sending Jesus into our midst and die for us to save us so that we will be able to be with Him. God still love us when we are sinners(the bad part of us that is), He still send His son to save us didnt He?!!! many people says loving a person is everything good yeah of course it was meant to be good(look at the beginning of mankind, God, Adam n Eve...everything was good back then and there is love among them).
This bad part of us i'm saying is even though we are being love(which includes bothe good and bad of each other) does that mean we shouldnt change to be good?? throwing all out bad habits away. Coz i believe too that once we love someone we dun want to hurt the ones we love with bad stuff too isnt it?? so shouldnt we change and throw all the bad stuff out of us. Of course it is always saying it is the easiest but doing it is another thing. but if dun make the effort there wont be a difference in just letting how things is. many couples complain there the other one is asking them to change etc etc etc. Even though there should be the change but the change should come naturally i think and the person should know that the change is needed personally. i mean if i keep nagging u to change i bet i'll be like an old hag in ur mind that keep complaining the bad stuff to u, isnt it?? The person also need to realise it coz if they dun realise how bad the bad stuff is hurting thier relationship then no matter wat the other is saying it will end up a complain to the ears and both the couple will say at their break up that they dun match and say complain too much about each other.
I think in a relationship both sides have to make it work!!! Whether is about caring, doing, but changing for the better good of the relationship is part of making it work. i hate it when people says the relationship is not workign coz they dont fit each other's personality while nothing is beign done. If relationship can just be match like a pair of chopsticks then shouldnt this world be filled with happy couples??!! Everytime we forget that we are not perfect. In a realtionship espcially that always one side things they are better than the other, the fact is we are better than the other in certain areas vice versa which also means we are equal no supremacy over each other. All of us has our own flaws so wat makes u think one is better than the other??!!
perhapes unexplainable i guess...
