Good morning to all.
You must be wondering what am I doing at 4.30a.m with blogger. But because I went to bed at 11p.m and woke up at 3a.m and had been listening to
Joyce Meyer's podcast since then till now. I kinda have a revelation that I wish to share with you about.
I remember previously I talked about Christianity life is
not a bed of roses, and that is really super true. Why? It's funny that most people really see things so magically. By being a christian does not make you free from sins, you do not transform
immediately even after salvation (born again).
What we really need to do is to renew our minds and heart. It's not a bed of roses because it does not comes automatically, we have to
DO it. Look at the commandment, "love your neighbors and people around you". Doesn't that sound easy? But what really is difficult is the
DOING part. We tend to expect a tree out from everyone, but nobody realise that we have to start from a
SEED! It is not a immediate thing, we grow slowly, with sufficient nutrients and nourishing! It is an action that is not easy to take and it really takes some time.
Just heard the podcast about complaining, and it is so true we spend much of our time daily complaining about this and that. And the truth is that, no amount of complaining would change the circumstance you are in. Instead, it traps you in the circumstance more and more that you'll eventually sink in.
I just realise that, hey, there are actually more things in this world that we ought to be thankful rather than complaining. A few things you could thank God for right now: The air that you breathe, Life, your limbs (if you have them), family and friends, a computer with internet to use, my blog, this message, and
NOW! Look, we really do take things for granted ain't we? And when God takes it back, we complaing and grumble like it's actually ours in the first place.
The road is
narrow and it isn't as easy to walk on as imagined. But this is the test from God. Does a examiner set an easy examination paper for a important examination? Imagine that God is like a coach, teaching us and helping us along the way, and then really putting us to a test so as to select us for the olympics. Common sense tells us that the coach would not just select a student any-o-how to join the competition. It is really after careful and fine selection for the best. Yes, like an interview.
So it is not base on our own strength and might to walk this road because He is there to support and help us. But it is up to us to
make the decision right now. A teacher can give you all the knowledge you need to pass the test, but
how much do you appreciate and want to pass the test? The answer is there, but the
choice is for you to make.
The road is yours to take, and I'm not talking about the test we take in school, but the tests that are given to us in our daily life.
Slacking, not studying, not learning and
FAIL.orWork hard, learn, study, endure hardship,
PASS and
SUCCESS.[ Side tracking a little, because I don't want to make a new post to push this post down. Making us of this chance, I'd like to thank my Aiai for her strong support to keep my fire burning for God, and also jL that constantly helps to motivate me towards my goals. I believe with strong relationships and encouragement like that, I'm able to move on stronger towards my destiny!And to make things a little sparkling and exciting here, I've decided to come up with a plan, that is I will always try to create some art work to post it up here, so this would be like a mini art gallery of mine. I can't say my work is good or that I'll constant post it up, but at least I think I should just try since I've got this vision for animation and a sudden re-interest in 3d modelling. Go go Junyong, I can do it! So can you! ]junyongK.Labels: art, bed of roses, choice, decision, encouragement, failure, GOD, Joyce meyer, junyongk, revelation, success, thanksgiving
