I did not really have this revelation of the cross all along until yesterday, when Ps Khong preached on the exposition on the book of Romans.

We are, by nature, objects of wrath. Yet God sent his Son Jesus to take all the wrath of God that was supposed to be poured out on us. In this way God's wrath will be appeased. Which Father will ever have the heart to do this do his son because of sinners? I will not have the heart to do that. I believe no human being will ever do that. But our loving heavenly Father is willing to do this so that we can stand justified in the name of Jesus. I am greatly awed by this love of the Father.


Came back from KL yesterday morning at around 4am. The immigration checkpoint was smoother than expected, so in no time I find myself at home.

First day, checked into Swiss Garden Hotel at around 3pm. The next thing we do as a family; shop. After shopping we went to Neway to sing Karaoke. End of first day.

Second day, we shopped again; bandied to and fro Berjaya Times Square and Sungei Wang. Went to watch Alvin and Chipmunk 2; the chipmunks were so adorable, and amusing too. You should try watching it. You will never regret the cost of the movie ticket.

Third day, we shopped again. Checked out from hotel before 12pm, luggages were put at the luggage point. Another day of mundane shopping again. The ladies liked it a lot. The guys have to bear with it awhile. Then we went to Neway again and sang the whole night. Boarded the coach at around 11pm. Sis had mild food poisoning and stomach flu. But she managed to control her nauseating symptom till we reach Singapore. Thank God she did not need to stop the coach to throw up. Everything went on quite smoothly.

Seriously, there is not much of a climax to this time round's vacation, just the dull plot which can be considered as tranquility. My Dad needs just that as he has been working hard in his job and he deserves a good rest. I also learnt that resting can be just that simple; it can be in the midst of a mundane relaxation activity. I always thought that resting means there must be fun, there must be games, there must be something happening. But resting is not only a one-route way; there are multiple ways to arrive at the destination of rest.

What is rest to you? Do you know that you can rest in midst of trials? Just that as long as you depend on the Lord, and know that God is the solver of all problems, you will find rest in Him.
