Just had the urge to really post something, felt that Lord had a word for everyone of us here...But first, share a good news with everyone here, some might had knew but not everybody..Zhenhui had nearly accepted Christ on Tue, but due to her strong Buddhist background, she feels obligated to obey her parents and still remain in that religion. Well..lets continue to pray hard for her, that God would touch her heart, that parents would soon come round to the idea. Pray for her that the word of God may stay closest to her heart and that she may seek refuge in Him whenever she had any trouble. Lets Praise the Lord for the great works that He had done in all our life. Believe Him for the impossible, because He made all things possible!(It might sound a bit silly and insensible, but it is definitely true!)
In life, there is always ups and downs, we rejoice at times, and might be pregnant with sorrows the next moment. Our feelings are just as unpredictable as the weather, we do not know what would be happening to us the next moment as well..but somehow many of us does take things for granted most of time. Recently, life had been really a challenge for me, i believe it shall be the lowest point for me right now..during this month, i had experience failures after failures, temptations after temptations, trials after trials..it not just drained me emotionally and mentally but physically too..my health had not been in good condition too:( At times, i am really in despair, desperation, that i felt like giving up everything and return to the original point where i has started this run. I asked God: Why? Why is life just so hard and unfair! I had been putting in my best and whatever that i am able to, why does things keep stopping me from moving forward in life and why, when people just do that little, they could reap as much, that is totally unfair! Has God not made everyone of us to be fair?
Think and reflect again, do things really always works this way. Look at little children over in countries like Africa, Cambodia, Sri Lanka (the list goes on and on..), do they have a choice? Everyday we woke up, we can decide what we are going to do with our day, but how about them? They do not have a choice, they have to even fight for their homeland in order to have a shelter over their heads..they have to worry whether where to find their food for their next meal..but here we are making a fuss what to eat, where to eat, whether how terrible is the food! They are just about the same age as us or even kids who are much younger then anyone of us! Have we ever give thanks for all that God had provided, and that He had allow us to live in a place of comfort, without any fears and worries about safety or about the question of having sufficient food..they desire education, but circumstances left them without any choice! But what about us? We complained, we go all the way out to irritate our teachers and play a fool in class..we could ruin, tore and destroy our books-its all at our mercy, but now think before doing that, they could not even get a proper piece of paper and a proper pen to write on! But that is not the point..the point is that God had place each and everyone of us in a special position that we would shine as bright as the stars in the skies..have you ever wondered what He had called you to be? Had you miss His point for your life? How will you react or what will be running through your mind at that day where He sits on the judgement seat and set this question for you? Have you been breaking His heart, with things that you know that you should not be doing but yet insisted on doing it-disobedience. Or have you always been asking for His forgiveness everytime when you did something wrong, but yet you had never have the heart to learn the lesson of true repentence? Remember God IS love, without love, there is no meaning to life. Without His perfect and unconditional Love, i am very sure to say that there would always be this little corner in your heart that is empty..this emptiness is for Him! Nothing in this world, not money, not any material possessions, not fame and not be love from your spouse or parents could ever fill up this place. He created everyone of us, He know us at the back of His hands, and even better than anybody..Imagine, u invented a toy car, you had planned every little details of the car, the little parts of engine and shape, how it should be, in order to perform to its best. You created it because u had interest in it, you love this particular object to be your companion and would always be proud of it. God works the same way as well!!!
I finally found the answer as to why things had been working in such a way..because failures is the best teacher, because failures bring forth humble character and humility before God, it brings us back to seek, to ask from Him and to increase the reliance on Him. Fear of the Lord prospers a man! Pastor Khong had mentioned that God way to up is always down, God way to success is always failures..without doubt, failures brings pain to our heart, tormented our souls and totally destroyed our confidence towards life and goals which we had first set. But contemplate about the fact that if anyone invention should had been destroyed or that some parts had been broken down, would the person not feel anything? Then think about how God really feels again..God cares, He sees and He is concerned for things that we are concerned about, or rather He is even more concerned than we are, because we meant more than anything else to Him.When you are DOWN to nothing..God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!
People, no matter what might had taken place before, pray and ask Him for wisdom to resolve all problems. If u had loved someone before, u would definitely understand that if u truly love someone, u would go all out for them. What more, we are talking about this Daddy that had already given up His precious and beloved son for all our sake, had that not display any love? We can give by not loving but we cannot love by not giving. Matthew 7:7: Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock on the door and it will be open to you...Ask from Daddy and He is sure to give generously to you! Always wait faithfully upon Him, He would never bring disappointment, but He honors and sees every effort that we had put in. Love God and serve men, serving people is never an easy task, but as long as put in your heart and soul, you will reap what you had sown. Believe! Faith in Jesus makes us Sons and Daughters of the living God..When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, 'Jesus, could you get that for me?' And lets all rejoice for we know clearly in all our hearts that He is waiting for us to join Him in heaven, and preparing us for eternity. FAITH, HOPE & LOVE. Today, are you ready to take on this challenge???
P.S Sorry for the terrible language being used.
