True Worship

Worship has so many meaning to different people to my understanding of what it is I will say is an act of connecting with God.

The act of worshiping can be done by praises, dancing, serving God in his house and by prayer and fasting. As children and daughters’ of the most high our worship should be a link to open heaven for blessing, good health, break through to any problem and as well as healing.

The bible tells us of stories of women who have called to God in worship and he answered. The book of Esther (4:15-17) tells us how Esther and the Jews call to God in worship by prayer and fasting and he heard their cry and the evil plans of Haman to kill the Jews was destroy.

Also the bible tells us in (Luke 1:5-17) about Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah a priest who had no child and he always worshiped God in prayers was blessed with a child at their old age. Hannah was another woman in the bible who cried out to God in prayers because of her barrens and she saw the result of her worship.

We saw with the situation they faced they never gave up and where truthful in their worship to the Lord and at the end they were rewarded joyfully.

As believers we should strive to offer true worship. True worship is when we give God our best and not the left-overs. All throughout the Old Testament, God demanded the very best from His people: the firstlings of the flock, the firstborn of man and animal, and the first fruit of our harvest. When the site and the sacrifice were offered to David free of charge so that he might appease the wrath of God, because he had presumptuously numbered Israel without God's approval David said: "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing" (1 Sam. 24:24). The heart that says: "Let's worship God, but let's do it as quickly, conveniently, cheaply, and effortlessly as possible" does not understand the very essence of what true worship is all about. If God would not accept "the leftovers" from His people in the days of the prophets (Mal. 1:7-8, 10; cf. Amos 5:21; Hos. 6:4-6; Isa. 1:11-15), He will not accept anything less than the very best that we have to offer Him today.

But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. (John 4:23) 

Hurt

I remembered his birthday and I have been making plans for it for months now and I wanted it to be a day we both will cherish forever. But unfortunate we had some issues before his birthday and I was really hurt that I decided not to wish him or say anything. 

When I think of those words he told me I just can't believe a man who had told me how much he loves me and want to spend his life with me will say how much he regret been with me, loving me and helping me during when I needed it most. I felt betrayed and every single promises broken too. Despite that I still never gave up on him till he used the word cool, then I understood that his ego , pride and way of thinking wont let him admit or say sorry.  I wonder why tell someone that has always loved u , had your back and even shared there family with you that if things don't work out we'll as u plan  u will let her go and fine someone else. Did it ever occur to u that u both should have talk about it together before making such decisions. Do u think is okay to think someone is disrespect because of how the chose to react to some setting things. Have u sat down and think of how many times u have disrespected her by talking to your ex and even letting her know u did, talking to her rudely just to prove a point, walking out dead of the night knowing is not safe for u and keeping her in suspends think something bad might happen, if you talking to people or saying hi to them is no problem but when I do it becomes disrespectful because am a woman. I know have messed up in some places and things which u said u didn't like and I said sorry and never repeated it again. When two people from different culture, country  or even beliefs decides to be together and truly love and want to spend their life's together those things will never be a hindrance.

Places to visit in Malaysia

I can remember just like yesterday parking my bags and getting ready to go to an unknown land I know nothing about and getting worried if am even going to fit in, well is been more than 3 years now and I will say I fit in perfectly well. But at first it was a bit tough, the change of weather, food, friends and mostly the environment God i felt like runing back home because where I lived back home was cold and getting to Malaysia it was so hot I didn't feel like going out of the house but as  time went by I got use to the situation and it was all fun for me.

And over the years while living here I have come to like Malaysian food and my favorite so far is the is called Nazi Lemak. It a combination of rice, groundnut, small fishes, egg either boiled or fried depends on how the make them either ways is nice and with some cucumber too.

And talking about fun let me share some of the lovely places  have been to. The first place was Genting island let me say is  a must see place for anyone who like adventures is filled with so much fun games and has an amazing casino and the best part I like most about geting island is the weather the atmosphere is always cold so when heading that way you make sure your putting on some warm cloths.

And for sea food lovers like me I will suggest you visit Penang, another lovely place.The people are so friendly and what I love most is the night life just taking a walk along the beach and just feeling the cool breeze and enjoying every bit of the night.

So guys thanks for reading and I hope you guys try to visit some of this place and many more fun places too in Malaysia.
