The Third Musketeer...

There's a lot to pick up in this retreat .. actually in fact if you set aside time for God, He will definitely show you what You need to know. =)

but some key points from each sermon....

- We fight each other cos we think we're more than something that we are... Angry because our gentleness is not there anymore.. (well.. this rly applies to me :p ) what prison are you in, are you complaining abt your prison or can ppl feel your gentleness?

-Our sense of worth comes from Jesus who died for Us, we experience belongness thru the Father who adopt us and our sense of competence is found in the H.S who enables us to accomplish worthy things

- (from david bringing back arch of god twice) : Do you rely on your brillance or do you reply on presence of God?

- Some key questions Sam Farina asked us to check ourselves: when God thinks about you, what do you think His expression is?; How are you cultivating God's Friendship? ; what's the last thing You learned about God in Your times 2gether?

- If you want a heart after God, you must be prepared to repair the damage (like david giving back to mephiboseth) .. this point 2 parts from Sam, 1) to restore the damage and forgive those we have caused damage to and 2) need to forgive ourselves to move forward

- If You bury something alive , it'll keep coming back to the surface , you got to empty it. (point about how it's not enough to forget about past when it's not completely healed)

- When you do good to others & others still do bad to you, you got to still be good to them.. (now this is hard!)

- And the part that's stuck with everyone... embrace irritation cos your pearl will get bigger hhhahaha
