What Is the Bible?
The word Bible means "book." The Bible was given this name because it is the book of God's words to us. The Bible is also sometimes called Scripture, a word meaning "something written." The Bible is like a library of 66 books put together into one big book. But all the books within the Bible talk about the same subject: God's message to us. The Bible tells us about God, shows us God's mighty acts in the lives of his people, and describes how people responded to God. From the Bible we learn what God is like and what he expects of us.
These few lines were taken from the Holy Bible gifted to me today by a very dear friend of mine. I still can't stop smiling now. :) I feel so blessed to have been able to receive such a gift. It almost brought tears to my eyes cause this is so very much meaningful to me. It has been past one week since I accepted Lord Jesus Christ and this journey has been truly amazing since. I feel there's so much more to learn every single day and I can't wait to explore so much more.
Just few days after the acceptance, I met
Roy online and we were talking and he asked, "What's new?" and being the same old me, I've always thought of nothing besides studying. Then it occurred to me that I've recently make a change in my life and thus, I told him my story. :) He was just as delighted as I am and he told me that long ago, back in those school rally days, he wrote or prayed to five names hoping that they would accept Lord Jesus one day. To my surprise, he told me that, one of the names written was my name. That thought really made my day, in fact, it has always made my day every time I think about it. Then he go on to asking me whether I have a Bible and I said yeah, a NIV Holy Bible. Then he asked again whether he can give me one. I was so delighted and happy that I actually said yes! Because the Bible that I'm having is rather miniature, I told him I'd prefer a larger one with a hard cover. I didn't know why but I happily told him what I wanted and that's exactly what he had gotten for me. You can say that now I'm feeling very much "head over heels."

Dear God, please guide me in reading Your word.
Show me what you want to show me and open my mind to receive your word.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. ♥
Before I end this post, I would love to thank my very dear friend,
Roy,
