Proverbs 10 and music

Today, i just felt really lonely being alone at home.

I started my devotions asking God to fill my love tank once again, and i suddenly felt this urge to play my piano. I haven't played the piano for so long that the keys were dusty (yuck) but when i played the first song search me know me try me and see, i just felt Him ministering to me, and as i continued to play your love is deep, and after that here i am to worship i just felt my love tank being filled. It was quite a reminder that my love tank can be filled by God any time, any how, and wherever i ask Him to.

Pro 10:1

"A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son, grief to his mother."

Its such a simple verse but it really makes me wonder which of the two i am. I yearn to be a wise son of course, but i wonder if i truly bring joy to my dad. And on the opposite side, i wonder if i really do bring grief to my mum :( It reminds me of Pst vic's sermon on honouring our parents, and i'm just reminded that honour really starts from home. If i can't even honour and love my own flesh and blood, how can i for other people i'm not related to?

I'm really encouraged by all your blogposts :) it really makes me smile so much. hope you guys are having your daily bread! :D

Proverbs 3

Today i read Proverbs 3, and verse 3 really spoke to me.

"Never let loyalty and kindness get away from you. Wear them like a necklace, write them deep into your heart"

- Friends
Its honestly hard sometimes when you're so passionate about an idea and your friends just pour cold water on it. Its tough when they don't encourage. And honestly, what i used to do was to go to other friends and share with them my passion and sometimes even dishonouring my old friend by telling my new friends about him/her.

---> It reminds me that loyalty the faithfulness or a devotion to a person or cause. (according to wiki) is truly devotion! meaning you devote time and effort no matter how much you think this friendship is a lost cause.

-Family
Pastor Vic sharing about honouring my parents was very strange for me, because i seemed to have learnt that lesson 2 weeks ago the hard way. But it is true that sometimes i think God gave me the wrong family to be in. How can it be that things are always so tough? But God says He knows. And whenever i think of other families being more "perfect" than mine, though i can't do anything about it my thoughts are always "i wish i had that family" andit reminds me to be loyal.

-Beggars
Whenever they come i always used to question, are they really telling the truth about their supposed husbands in hospital etc. But i realized, kindness does not care. And thats why i always spend the one dollar to buy the tissue though the lady might lie/cheat me. Its only a dollar, if i am not kind in singapore, how am i supposed to be kind elsewhere (that isn't my homeland)

It is really an encouragement to see everyone post :) i hope that more will do so. :D
