Be the light that outshines the darkness and don't be blown out!
Always put God as your first priority!
Hm...this is a little page I've put together where I've written down stuff that i've learnt and things like that....
melody's advice on life-
Everything happens with God's permission
If you don't want to be disappointed with a low score, then work hard so you know you will achieve what you what.
If someone curses you and you don the same back, then how are you different to them?
God is in control, God is our father, what kind of father will give his children poison if they ask for food?
life is meant to be happy! Life is made to be enjoyed! life is limited, don't waste it on sadness. :D
before u do something to someone, say something, or anything like that...THINK. would u want the same to be done, or said about yourself?
remember that the world is not a popularity contest, not a 'being cool or i'll be hated' contest or a 'I have to be really honki and know all that stuff about pop stars and all or i won't be cool' contest. Just be yourself and leave everything to God. :)
BE YOURSELF don't be someone else!
Humble thyself...dun think that u r all great and popular and stuf like that. cos if u do..u have a serious problem...cos U R NOT POPULAR AND GREAT In sum peoples eyes, u may be...but in other....u may just seem like a pathetic, wimpy, ugly, try-hard. yuk!
Think of the consequeneces of your actions before u do them. like....swearing to people or talking behind ppls backs. Do u expect that swearing at people will lead to happy fairy tale endings?
If u hate sumone (which u shouldn't...) and that sumone swears and do horrible stuff to u...just ignore it and in your heart, forgive and pity them. For if u swear and return evil with evil, what different are u to them?
DOn't be a hippocrit. think before u insult or critizise sumone.... think "Do i do that too?"
If u r depressed and sad, talk to sumone...dun keep it all inside u...u will explode (emotionally)
Did u know......(haha what a corny title)
in the bible, it says that Christian ppl arent suppose to have non christian girl/boy friends..... well at least not get married and stuff... and also, we shouldn't think that we can change a non-believer. Because IF they do change to a Christian, it is only through the Grace of God that they do so. .... In the bible it says.
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
(2 Corinthians 6:14)
你們和不信的原不相配，不要同負一軛。義和不義有甚麼相交呢？光明和黑暗有甚麼相通呢？
(哥林多後書6:14

1 Timothy 6:12
Love...
'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.'
1Corintians 13:1-8
'Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never lacking in zeal but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need, Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do no curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn, live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be wiling to associate with people of low position. DO not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in of eyes of everybody. If it is possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord
On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:9-21

The Greek word for fish is icthus
Iesous= Jesus
CHristos=Christ
THeou=God's
Uios= Son
Soter=Saviour
By scratching a fish picture on a stone or drawing it in the dust, early Christians could tell one another secretly:
'I believe in Jesus Christ who is God's Son and my Saviour."
