Is Figure that Important?

We are living in a fast paced society. There are many times we have to meet the expectation of people around us. For instance, parents, bosses, friends, relatives, colleagues, et cetera.

Am I willing to let go a high pay job to do something which I enjoy and I know I will be happy?

Am I willing to hit the sales target (as Amway member) and forget about relationships?

I have met people who are willing to do anything to hit the figure that they have targeted, and along the way, I believe they need to sacrifice things, for example, friendships. Is it worth the sacrifice?

I believe to hit the target, there are many ways that we can choose, and it is all depends on us, whether we are willing to do it the hard way.

Lord, please lead your daughter so that she has a clear conscience. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Before 30 by Ps Philip Mantofa

YJ suggested that we get this book as a gift for KY because it is really a good book. I took the opportunity to get a copy for myself and finished reading it in two days time. I was touched by the content in the book. It reminds so much on what we should do in our lives. I hope I can summarise the content here, so that I can share it with all my friends.

God's grace is always sufficient for us. Sometimes we think that we are sinners and therefore we are not worthy of being used by Him. However, God clearly shows us otherwise. He is telling us that He has His own way of using each and everyone of us.

Vessel! Lord, please teach me how to be Your Vessel. I want to be a good child. As I read the book, I realise that sometimes it is as simple as ABC; all we need to do is to fall in love with Him.

There are many times we can do anything for the person we love. I believe that if we love God, we would be more than willing to submit ourselves to Him.

A friend told me this: "I am afraid to commit because I will lose my freedom. I am not able to do things that I like, and need to do things that I do not like". In my opinion, we are all human and are not perfect; therefore we cannot escape from having such feeling.

I do have such feeling too. It is very difficult to do something which we are reluctant to do. However I also know that when we submit ourselves to Him, God will lead us with His strength and wisdom, and when we are willing to let go, everything seems so easy, not so troublesome.

For a fact, relying on Him and not ourselves is a privilege! Therefore this is a lesson that I must learn. I have experienced before, that to rely on my own is so difficult, exhausting and hopeless.

I fell and got up, then fall and get up. In the end, it is still God who hold onto me. Thank You Jesus for Your Love...

My 100th Post

Haha, finally have reached my 100th post!!

I am entering my fourth month at my new firm. Initially I was happy at this firm, as time goes by, I seem to have lost my direction. I want to know whether this is where God wants me to be, and prayer seems to be the only way.

I remember a Pastor telling me, God may want me to do something which I am not willing to do, is it resignation? Or something else?

There will be a Church Camp this coming September and I am still thinking whether to attend it; as there will be no youth attending it. Should I attend it? Yes, I will attend it!

Today is not a bad day after all, despite being busy with work, I do not feel too bad like previous days.

Life is fragile! Yes, I have mentioned this before. Today I have received a message that someone has passed away. It goes on to remind us that life is precious, lost souls are precious. Therefore we need to be united and work together to win souls.

I noticed that I have been playing the piano, but the way I play is not so smooth; as in, it does not give a peaceful feeling. This shows that I have been troubled lately. Jesus says, do not let our heart be troubled; He also says to cast all our anxieties to Him.

Yes Lord, let us be obedient and trust in Your unfailing Love! Thank You Jesus!!
