8 thoughts on “Lest We Forget”

  1. Dear YB Teresa,

    Be strong, we are with you and we pray for you.

    I think by the time you read this, you are already freed from this nonsense ISA detention, thank God. I pray that this will be very soon.

    This morning I was reading the First Epistle of Peter and I found a few verses that might be helpful.

    Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

    but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

    If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
    (1 Peter 4:12-14 NKJV)

    And I think today’s devotional passage of Our Daily Bread is a bit related to the situation you are facing now. So I copied it here.

    Responding To Criticism

    When they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God. —1 Peter 2:12

    Abraham Lincoln knew what it meant to face criticism. He is quoted as saying, “If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how— the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what’s said against me won’t amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.”

    Lincoln, against huge opposition, went on to reunite the fractured United States, win the Civil War, and abolish slavery in the US. Had he allowed his critics to defeat him, Lincoln would not have accomplished what he did.

    The apostle Peter understood the dangers of unfounded criticism. He wrote, “Having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God” (1 Peter 2:12).

    Criticism can consume our lives to the point of emotional paralysis, or we can set our hearts to serve God faithfully undeterred by that criticism and put our God on display. When we do that, we won’t need to answer our critics with words—our lives will say all that is needed. — Bill Crowder

    If we keep doing what is right—
    And serving Christ each day,
    We need not fear what others think
    Nor what the critics say. —D. De Haan

    The most powerful testimony is a godly life.

    Godspeed!

  2. Teresa,
    I truly believe you can cope and withstand these test because of your strong religiuos conviction and believe.
    Please forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.

  3. This is just like Jesus Christ who was accused by certain people and ignored by Pontius Pilate(PM).

    Be strong and have faith for God is testing us, God-willing, you will be freed from tyrants.

    Godspeed to you too!

  4. Jesus said, “If your first concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you’ll find both yourself and me.”
    Matthew 10:39 (The Message)

  5. YB Teresa’

    Have confident and pray for the unjust,

    The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    so why should I be afraid?
    The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
    so why should I tremble?

    The LORD is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
    The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?

    Psalm 27:1 (New International Version)

  6. sing to the tune of (?) change the name “Laura” to Teresa ….

    Tell Teresa we miss her
    Tell Teresa we need her
    Tell Terese not to cry
    Our love for her will never die ….

  7. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against power, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” Eph 6:12

    We are praying for you for supernatural peace and divine protection. Angels of God being release to open the prison. You will experience the supernatural divine favour of God because you are His chosen people to bringing changes in Malaysia.

  8. 朦胧中，漆黑一片，四壁墙，离我很近。我望向天花板，十多只的壁虎，大大小小的爬在宽度不到六尺，高度才那么的四尺的天花板，不停的发出恐叫！我害怕！恐惧！床还好是软的，不是她(陈云清) 所说的硬床，我被惊醒！原来那唯一的软床，是我所躺着的床。

    所谓若有所思，夜有所梦。从知道郭素沁被逮捕的消息到现在，我头脑都不曾离开对她的思念，我担心她的安危，害怕她精神上被虐待，更不愿看到她因此而放弃之我。也许你们会说我想太多，说我太傻太天真！我就是这样的一个人。试着把自己当作是某位正派代议士的岗位想一想吧！他们没有欠我们的，不要以为自己在选举投给了他们，就把他们给我们的一切都接受的理所当然，应分此的。他们也有情绪，也有无助的时候。你在吃饭，他们在开会，你在吃宵夜，他们在吃晚餐，也许还是午餐呢！你在睡觉，他们还在忙着。过年过节，一家团圆，有谁会想着他们是否也和你一样在享受着天伦乐呢？他们没有欠我们的，问一问自己，现在的你到底在做什么，想些什么，是在等待看事情的进展吧！天天追新闻，不满就和朋友聊聊就算，骂几了句也就吧！

    是时候了，马来西亚的人民醒醒吧！当他们在这时候需要我们时，大家就得出一份力，为她-郭素沁祈愿，早日被释放。

    再来个全民签名活动，要求释放被援引可以不经审讯就扣留的恶法内安法令来逮捕的人。

    他们也是像你我一样，有家人，有家庭，的普通人民一个。不是吗？
