9:33 AM

Just came back from accompanying my friend to buy present for his gf.. wow.. he bought a set of ring.. for their 1st year anniversary..best wishes to all of them.

ya on my way home.. the bus pass by my sec sch... both the old and the new buildings.. next came all the familiar paths .. the path that i usually walk to sch.. the path that i would take to walk to the hawker centre to have lunch with my friends.. the alternative path that i took to reach home.. if i felt like it.. or if i'm walking with my friend..then.. my class scene flashed through my mind.. how attentively we were in class.. how we made fun of teachers we do not really like(oops)... how we throw paper planes at one another(so childish but come to think of it.. very fun :).. how we ate secretly in class during recess(we were not supposed to stay in class during recess).. how we clean the classroom... the way we were punished for not handing our work.. we take our own sweet time to walk from one class to another.. staying outside our class for assembly(during rainy times)... the list goes on... Now.. every one of us are split.. some are in other countries studying.. some lost contact since graduation.. some migrated.. some in army.. and guess what.. quite a large sum of my sec friends are foreigners.. hence.. they went back after poly.. Jc or sec4.. We are now being seperated by boundaries.. Up till now.. i manage to keep in contact with 2 express stream friends... a few normal streams .. the rest... I really hope to catch up with them.. to c them on streets.. Really.. I missed my sec sch life... yes.. study hard.. detention... scolding.. punishments.. but it's the friendship that i really missed.. My hong kong friend.. taiwan friend.. korea friend.. i miss them all..

if God turn back the time.. really.. i would spend more time with them..yes i will study hard.. but more than that.. sec life isn't just abt studying.. it's abt friendship.. it's abt bonding.. it's abt growing..

What i could really do now.. is to pray for every single one of their salvation.. coz there is very high probability that i might not get to c them during this lifetime... i really regret that i never take the opp to share the gospel to them.. esp if they migrate.. yes.. u may say.. got internet.. but personal face to face is still the best.. not webcam.. not email.. not msn.. plus.. in the past.. most of us got no email... hence.. very hard to find them now.. i will def get to c them when i go to heaven.. provided all of us know God and walk closely with God.. And again..

God just gave me a penny thought:
Are we praying for our friend salvation? Are we reaching out to them? And now imagine.. A is ur friend... You never reach out to him.. opp wasted.. and now if you still do not pray for him.. what type of friend are you(sorry that i say it harshly but this is really my thought).. after knowing that God is so real.. so good in your life.. all the belssings he helped you through.. and you are not sharing this good news to your friend? What i can say is:you never treat them as your friend at ALL!!!!!!!

And lastly.. Do you see the picture? ie i have A as my friend.. i never share to him.. now i'm praying for him.. guess what.. God sent B( A current friend whom i don't know) to witness to A (my friend)..But if B don't wanna share the gospel.. i may lose the chance to see A in heaven.. Hence.. share this gospel of love to all your friends.. Don't wait until the time you regret.. and it may be late then..

Concluding: Treasures all your friendship esp if you are in sch.. coz that is the greatest legacy you will get from schooling life.. and SHARE THE GOSPEL!!!!

Melvin

+ AMEN

HE SAW YOU

I cast all my cares on the Lord
For He careth for me
My poor wretched soul has
been bought
Through the nails He bore on
Calvary

The life I once led is now gone
Replaced is a new man of song
This debt that he paid
Led Him to the cross of
Calvary
Led him to the cross of
Calvary

Cos He saw you
while He was on the cross
He said "It's worth it. You
justify the cost."
So He stayed right there
and withstood the pain
To cover our sin and our
shame

Cos He saw you
while He was on the cross
He said "I love you;
I came to save the lost
Just believe my child,
and then you'll see
What you could be in me.
In me"

Two thousand years have
gone by
Soon we'll meet Him up high
It's funny but now I do see
Why He took the nails on
Calvary
Why He took the nails on
Calvary

He was bruised for our
transgressions
Mocked and whipped. He was
forsaken
Sent to die by His own creation
So how could we ask for
salvation?
