Let's Drive, People!

Guess what? I'm having an adventure with God everyday..driving is not easy..especially if you are driving a manual car..imagine being stuck in a traffic jam for hours..sobs..well, your journey begins as you start to drive..and you need the guts and all the courage in the world to drive a car..same goes for those who have yet to accept Christ..you need to step out and be open to accept Jesus into your life..first lesson- first gear..if it is your very first time driving..first gear is not easy as you need to balance the clutch and the accelerator well before you can move on to second gear etc..haha..i had difficulty with first gear when i was learning to drive..i guess the driving instructor nearly had an heart attack teaching me..thank God that he was patient..after overcoming first gear, the rest is history..easy as ABC..passed my driving test and got my license! Driving is more a less similar to what we experience daily..in order to get to our destination, we will go through various roads- some may be long, some may be shortcuts..not to mention obstacles such as bumps and Malaysian potholes! Just picture with me, we are Christians who are looking forward to meeting God- that would be our destination..as we drive, we will definitely go through various roads..that would be decisions which we made in life..the bumps and potholes are the obstacles that we faced in our daily life which will lead us to detours if we are not careful..but as we continue to trust in the Lord, the obstacles that we encountered would somehow turn positive in a way..for example, bumps will slow us down and prevents accidents..same goes for us, at times God wants us to experience trials in order to prepare us for the future..God has BIG plans for us..as we head on to our journey, we need petrol..God's words (Bible) will keep us moving..continue to fill the tank with His words and they will carry us through this very journey of life..the car needs maintenance- we need to send the car for service constantly..just like us- we need to check on ourselves from time to time..we need the car to travel right? The Holy Spirit is like the car..as drivers, we need to get used to the car and comfortable in order to travel in the car..the car needs the driver to move, the driver needs the car to travel..it's about working hand-in-hand along with the Holy Spirit as we are heading to grow God's kingdom..this just struck me as i drove to JB and Singapore for the very first time yesterday in order to reach Expo..would like to share this with you guys out there..let us work along with the Holy Spirit in order to reach our destination in life..Phillippians 3:13-14 "One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" Come on, let us drive with God as the lifetime adventure unfolds!=)

Laughter is The Best Medicine!

Haha..hehe..hoho..that is just so funny..laugh till u drop..there's this saying..i guess laughter is the best medicine..when days just seem to be gloomy..some days where we find it hard to laugh..days when we are going through a turmoil of rough times..nothing seems to keep us smiling..well, the best and cheapest medicine around in the town would be..Jesus..as simple as ABC..firstly, pour out all our troubles and problems unto the Lord..let go and let God in..then spend some time indulging in pampering ourselves..ask a bunch of friends who are closest to us for a chat..time for a hearty laugh..i used to laugh without sound..i did not realised until my few of my friends pointed it out..peculiar? Guess it's due to my upbringing..recently, i've been laughing aloud..thanks to my friends..indeed God has made life filled with laughters and tears..Isaiah 61:10.."My soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation".

God's Most Treasured Possession

Who is God's most treasured possession? The answer is YOU! Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you." God has never made mistakes on you..He is so proud of you since the day you were born even before your mum knew that she is going to have a baby..God is full of wonders and He has made you wonderfully beautiful in His eyes..you may feel lost and wander what on earth are you here? Fret not as God has much more in store just for you..God has a specific purpose for you and only you on earth that no one else can fulfill..you may see the small pixels but God has a bigger picture of megapixels with you in the scene..take time to understand God's purpose for you by spending time with Him..fellowship with God is never the same when you open up to Him totally and trusting in Him for the days to come..Don't ever think that you are useless..God treasured you as His greatest possession..He loves you=) same goes for your family and friends..God loves them as well..

Love Tank

Oh no..out of petrol!!! Save me..sound familiar right? haha..came across all these in campus..life as a student is not easy..we got to depend on our parents and manage our expenditures well..we can always pull over to the nearest petrol station when the petrol indicator is popping..but..can we stop over and fill our love tank? Nope..Youths today often complained that they lack of love..the truth is we can never have enough of love if we fail to love..how can we fill our love tank? God has the answer to that question..by loving Him wholeheartedly, we learn to love people fervently..we are confused as we assume that love is a feeling..if you don't feel love, you can't act love..but this is a decision, a choice which means at times, you do not feel good..why don't we stop and give ourselves some time to learn what love is from God's perspective..it doesn't feel a certain way..instead it acts in a certain way..love never fails- 1 Corinthians 13 is a beautiful verse on the true meaning of love..God is Love..
