Stop Dreaming and Start Working!!

The voice in me shouts: "Stop dreaming, and start working!!"

Sometimes we need "incidents" to wake us up from our dreams. For instance, we are so deep in our thoughts whilst walking on the street and suddenly we hear somebody shouting, "Help! Help!" and we just look up and see the lady shouting trying to chase after a snatch thief. Then it occurs to us that we need to focus, be alert, and be aware with our surroundings when we are walking on the street.

As mentioned in my earlier post, there are more and more disasters happening on earth nowadays. We need to be alert as the second coming of Christ is soon. Some predicted the date 20th day of December 2012. Personally, I think whether or not the date is true, we need to wake up and start working, because there is not much time left!

In the legal line, we always have to meet deadlines after deadlines; I believe other fields face the same kind of stress as well. When the deadline is nearer, we are getting more stressed, anxious, nervous, you name it, and the feeling exists.

The deadline that we are facing now involves LIVES! Yes! LIVES! There are so many people out there who need salvation! There are so many people who are in need of LOVE, JOY, PEACE, GRACE, BLESSINGS!

Christian, or non-Christians, it does not matter anymore, because Christians may have drifted apart from God and we need to hold them tight; and needless to say, the souls of non-Christians are precious.

It is often very disappointing when we hear people say, through their own experiences they are disappointed with Christians. I have also heard people commented that non-Christians behave better than Christians. Does it matter? After all, we are all imperfect humans created by God.

Christianity is a belief, it is NOT a religion. This is what I have learn in the past. We believe in our hearts and confirm in our speech that Jesus is the Son of God. We admit we are sinners and need God's mercy and forgiveness.

Many people seem to think that being a Christian there are many restrictions. For example, no sex before marriage, not to lie even though it is a white lie, not to swear but to just simply say yes or no, and the list goes on.

Have you ever thought about this: why do Christians avoid smoking? Is it because the Bible says so? The Bible does not specifically state that we are not to smoke; so why are the leaders stopping this? The reason is simple, the Bible says we are to search for wisdom; let's think this way: is it healthy to smoke? Is smoking good in the long run? If no, why do we choose to be 'cool' and smoke when it is scientifically proven that smoking causes cancer? Thus, why not we CHOOSE to be wise instead, to avoid things that would affect us negatively?

Lately I am touched by a lot of things. I do not know how to explain this, but something is telling me that there are a lot of things to be done before the second coming of Christ. There are so many people out there that need our LOVE and CARE. I may not be able to do a lot to help, but the least I could do, is to do my part.

Jesus loves me, and He never thought of leaving me behind. It is our privilege to be able to share with others how He loves us. Therefore, it is crucial that we WAKE UP and STOP DREAMING! We seem to be engrossed with a lot of things happening around us, that we neglect the crucial things in life. However, I believe it is never too late to discover the purpose of life. I cannot guarantee that I will be a better person from now on, but I know I must try my best to please Him.
