HOUSE ALONE

Coming from a not so prosper family, having a room for our own is more like a dream. I believe in most people heart at least there is a time we hope to have a room by our own. Our private areas where we have the full freedom and liberty to do what we hope and want. I do have similar wish some of the time though I knew it’s quite impossible. When I start my college life, and start staying out side, still this remains just a wish because of financial situation. Not only me, but quite a lot of other students as well, though we can hear mostly want to have a room by themselves in an affordable price, still majority sharing their room with friends or stranger . Finally, my this “wish” (though I don’t really like it anymore) to have a room by myself come true. Not only room, but now I have a house all by myself ( A period of time before I get married). It turns out to be quite frightening I am all alone. After this many years of staying together with people, if I am given a chance to choose again, I still want to share room with other people even though I have the money to pay for a room by myself. The experience is too much to miss it. I will never forget all those “fight” and “talking” with my housemate and roommate. We learn from one another weakness and strength. I remember once of the dreams our brotherhood who stay in the same house had is to have everyone who leave the house one day will be a very much different person, better in every sense and a man of God. I gain much compare with those “privacy”. Actually staying with people, we still have much privacy if we able and knew how to communicate and relate with people.Now coming home, and only silent is waiting for you, is truly a not an enjoyable feeling. I knew why so many rich people who have BIG houses are feeling empty. Though I am not there yet, I can magnify what I face and if I am at that situation, I will be drive to crazy or probably be a suicide. However, I thanks God, because as I start to look out of myself and my house. There is tremendous beautiful thing and people God put around me. All those wonderful, handsome, pretty, and God-fearing man and woman of God. They are all full of love, kindness and hope. Seeing them around me, is truly like a honey to the depressing soul. It brings a lot of soothing and sweetness into my life and my soul. Never forget our lovely God the source of love. I can’t imagine, how I my life will be without HIM in my life.I understand all the people won’t be around me all the time, yet for me all of them is like sun in the sky. Though dark cloud can hide it from my view. But my sun is always there shining onto me, giving my heart a warm that can’t never be take away. Deep in my heart, I wish to say, I love you all and thanks for the time we went thru, and also we will go thru it together in time to come.

FACING THE GIANTS

There is this parable I listen in a movie “facing the giants” mentioning there are 2 farmers who desperately need rain. Both of them pray to the Lord to ask for rain. However only one of the 2 farmers going to the field, work on it and prepare for rain. From this simple parable, who do you think believe God will give rain? It’s very obvious the one who work on his farm, prepare his farm and prepare for the rain to come. Faith without work is dead.

This parable might be a very simple, but I found it very profound. How many of us, we always blaming on this and that yet without giving our best. How many of use, we will only give our best when we see the best situation around or when there is favor or when God answered our prayer? How many of us wait till things happen, than only we give in our best? This is not faith at all. As we know nothing is impossible for God, let us do our best in all situations and leave the results to God. In life it’s not about gaining and achieving what we want to achieve. God put us here for a PURPOSE. All that we achieve or pursue, if only for ourselves will one day be meaningless. Do think about it. Do you remember who is the richest person 20years ago, who is the greatest person 20years ago? In the movie, the coach tell his player, winning for their own glory is only short term, very soon people will forget about that, very soon their trophy will be there collecting dust. It’s very true, I remember I study very hard to achieve a good results, yes I get straight A’s in some government exam, good results in SPM, get my degree and all those stuff. Yet, it all became nothing now. I don’t mean we shouldn’t have goal, or we are not to do anything with our life. As I have mention, we need to do our best in all situations, and bring glory to God. First, let us understand our purpose, God said the greatest thing we to do is to love God wholeheartedly and love people fervently. This is the most important and primary; as we love God our life will be in the correct perspective. We will use our life for bringing God glory and not anymore for our selfish ambition. Jesus Himself had died for us for this reason so that we are connect back to God. God love us so much, in all that we our do or pursue God will certainly there to bless us because HE care for us and HE care for the thing which we care as well. Only never let those things take the place of God.

I had found sometimes we do not do our best because of various reasons. We might think we are small, weak, definitely will lose or we will fail badly. But as we know our purpose, it’s not anymore regarding failure or success; it’s all about giving our best. Never give up, never back down, never lose faith. Do you prepare your field for the rain God will pour down? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and HE shall make your path straight. FOR GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Ps: Facing the giants is a very meaningful and touching movie. As you watch it, I believe as well it will impart faith, strength and confidence to you
