January 2010

We are at 2010 at last. Where did all the years go? lol! Yes, its a new year and again for me, a new chapter in my work. Looking back, i would say that i have learnt alot about the working world, about life and about myself. In the last 1.5 years, i think i have learnt alot and the experience is both enriching and invaluable. I felt i have learnt more in my 1.5 yrs here than the last 9 years of working in my previous companies.

In a sense, it gave me a new insight into myself that i did not know or realise. I suddenly feel my age.

However, as a Christian, i am often felt i am not growing alot. I have always things that i am still carrying them and not leaving it to the Lord. The weight of it can sometimes be heavy but still, i do know i sometimes still insist on carrying them. lol! The world news makes it no lighter as it is often depressing. Problems, people falling from grace, the lies uncovered and others dun exactly paint a nice picture of what the world is today.

But still, we give thanks to the Lord because He promises that He will always be with us forever. He knows our every strength and weakness. He knows our flaws and i know it is no use covering or giving excuses for things because the Lord knows. When u come before Him and confessing and just tell it as it is, the weight often is lifted.

Jesus says love your enemies and pray for them. I tried but i decided to tell the Lord that i dun really feel like praying for them. haha! Yes, its not Christian-like but yes, that is what i feel and i confess it to God. I said i cannot love this enemy because i just cannot. Strange as it sounds but instead of saying a prayer for them and asking the Lord to bless them but secretly grudgingly doing so, when i confess it to the Lord, i actually experience the peace and i know that i can now really pray for them and ask the Lord to help them and myself to change.

His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Its like love i guess. U are at your weakest when someone else has the power to make u happy or sad and when u no longer have control over that. However, it is also at this time that u are at your strongest because of the fact that u are in love.

Things naturally become valuable when they are limited. Paintings by famous painters fetch alot when there are no more new paintings available. Life itself is valuable because of death. Strange irony. We treasure life because we know that we dun have eternity to enjoy it. Everyone of us has the same fate, no matter who u are.

Life is not about climbing the coporate ladder, nor is it about relaxing and taking things easy. Life is about being happy and sharing that joy that Jesus came to give us. There is eternal life beyond this life and that is the prize that Jesus is saying and we are encouraged to run the race and fix our eyes on the prize.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteouness and all these things will be added unto you.

If the sparrows who neither reap or sow but our Heavenly Father feeds them, how much more precious are we?

For God so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

We have an all powerful, merciful and loving God. Give thanks to God for His great love, mercy and grace.

And everyone who calls on Jesus, they will be saved!

Praise the Lord!

Amen!
