Living For God

Today is gone
Like Yesterday is gone
Every second thorn
Like they were never born

In self if we trust
We'll likely to end last
In Him we must thrust
For we are mere dust

Wear on the life
For God you will dive
Give out your best
And in Him you'll find rest

A Tale of an ID10T

Have you ever felt like you've return to the pass in a spur of a moment ? The day feels exactly like the day when something eventful happened ? The atmosphere and the ambience feels so familiar? Well, I realize I had this today.And it was D-day. I'm serious. It happened in primary 2 after coming back from school.

Sitting in my kitchen facing the very spot where the event took place , I had a flashback. I remembered very vividly.........

Opens the gate very quietly , sneaking into the back door of the kitchen very very discreetly

Me ( thinking to myself ) : Ok, I'm going to make a rustle and wait for her to come to the door. I'm
going to hide by the edge and jump out just in time and scare the wigs out
of her.

*rustling*

Ama (my dear grandma) : Who is that ?!
Me : ( cheekily grinning )

She walks closer to the opened door

Me ( thinking to myself ) : This is it ! 1............ 2 ......... 3............. !

KADESH !!!!!!! DUBBB !!!!!!!!

Ama : Aiyo ........... Laniu , what are you trying to do ? Come come get up , get up ( holding me up)
Me : * crying *
Ama : Aiyo , poor thing ....... you trying to scare me is it ?
Me : * crying *
Ama : That's why la , I told you how many times don't be naughty. See now your forehead got
one ball dy. Wait wait , I go boil egg. You sit down
first , sit down first ar.........

Ama applies the hot egg on my swelling lump...........

Me : Ah...... Ouch...... Softer softer.
Ama : Good also la , now you learn your lesson. Next time don't try to scare
old ladies. Heaven got eyes one.

This was what happened , I tried to frighten my grandma. Just before I could jump out and scare her , I tripped on the edge of the longkang and found myself in the fellowship of stars. Well, of course that wasn't my last time attempting to give her a fright. I came out with other ways. However, it was something worth reminiscing about. Oh the good old days .........

Lighting Up The Dark

Let's say , you make a survey in your school or workplace regarding how different you are from the rest of your schoolmates or colleuges. And then you realize , majority of them said , you are just like anyone of them. No difference. How would you feel ?

Do you want to be labeled ordinary? Or you want people to have a life-changing encounter even when they first meet you. When we are called ' ordinary ' or ' just-like-anyone ' , that better be the time to wake up from slumber and get some gears kicking.

We are called to light up the dark , to shine in the absence of light. Hence, we must be careful to keep the fire burning or else our light would be snuffed out and we'll be like everyone else. The greatest fear of a Christian should be keeping himself/herself from winds of influence. The fire will grow weaker and the light dimmer when we start lifting our eyes off God and when we do not jealously guard our candles from strong winds.

We are set apart because we know the truth. And we are to share the truth. The basics of sharing lies in the way we live. Living out Jesus is not easy but I have to keep emphasizing this because people are still not listening. People are hearing but not listening. If we have pissed even our own brothers off , what would the world think of us? What first impressions do we give them ? No difference.

Let us really will and desire to be different , and that means putting all your effort in working it out. Attraction lies in the truth being lived out. So start living in Truth !!
