Sabrina

Yesterday met up with Sabrina. Felt very happy talking to her. She’s really a very nice person, and especially a good listener. I feel very secure and blessed whenever she’s around me. You always know that you can trust in this friend.

Thank you Sabrina. This friendship of ours should have been developed about 8 years ago. Oh no…….. so long already!

Foliage

Recently I have a deep thought about certain issues happening around myself. I saw many people, and understood many of their ways. I have talked of them, and tried to understand them. Thank God for many opportunities where I can share my life. Comforting as it may be during times of exchange, yet it is only momentary if there is not conviction.



I saw people coming to God when they are in need. I saw them drawing near to God when they need help. I saw them giving thanks to God when God has blessed them. I saw them faithfully attending services and cell groups. I saw them giving tithes and offerings. I saw them reading the bible in their quiet time. I saw them talking about God. I saw them pondering about the Will of God. I saw them praying. Yet, it is all only momentary.



It took a shower to realize my grief. Seems like God always likes to talk to us when we are bathing. With the water raining over me, tears flow out of my heart. I was very discouraged.

Why are people so ungrateful? Why had they tasted and witnessed the goodness the God and yet fallen away? Why are people having so short term memory? I thought forgetfulness is only reserved for forgiveness?



Jeremiah 3:21


A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God.

Proverbs 14:13-15

Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief. The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above.

The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.


So what if some may attend church service regularly? What is Love? Remember Pastor once preached that we can give without loving, but we cannot LOVE without GIVING.



Being just a normal church goer is shallow. It is only about TAKING by involving oneself in something beneficial for them.



It is more important to GIVE. The word GIVE here does not mean tithes and offerings only, but it means to give our time, our love and concern for the fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. It means to attend church services regularly regardless of the weather and emotional mood swings. It means to attend cell group even when you are tight in time. It also means to volunteer our time and effort to serve others.



Our root in Christ, and our character, is also measured by how much we GIVE. People who never GIVE are usually unstable in their ways, and bible says in James that double-minded person shall not receive anything from the Lord because he is a double-minded man.

So what if you have made a decision to GIVE? You have never stepped out in the first place. You did not walk the talk.



I felt sad for a friend whom I felt is highly favoured by God. Here’s a poem I’ve written for that friend.



Foliage

The lone feline rove,
Amidst the grey ruins,
Bewildered almost it seems,
If not for a Ray.

The leading with a trail,
The heartening by a Grace.

A traverse to a green grandeur,
A beholder of magnificence.

The shedding of the sun’s beams
The High favour revealed.

The feline dances,
Along the backward trail,
The fainting gleam of Light,
Her swan song in eternity.

Joy and Strength

Today is Monday again. Time really passes swiftly. Its like a never ending cycle till eternity. Monday Monday and Monday…..


Its been almost 4 years since I’ve started working, and Monday is still like a thorn in my flesh. Gives me uneasiness and restlessness. But if there is a time when I can write and ponder about Mondays, it is always a time of Joy and Strength. And this time of tribute of Mondays is a period of many moments of Joy and Strength in my entire life!


I stepped into office at about 8.30am in the morning. This morning is an extremely tired and blue day. I felt very restless. With my notebook on, I surfed the internet for Christianity articles and read the Christian emails (which I subscribed) to till 10am in the morning! I am like a car engine that needs to be warmed up before setting off.


Then I started smsing my friends, and emailing my sister. In my smses and emails, I wish them joy and strength. I gave them greetings and encouraging words. After a while, I start to feel that the heaviness and restlessness within me started to lift. And I could almost feel the tangible feeling of Joy and Strength sinking into my heart.


Slowly, I started to feel really joyful. There’s a deep feeling of excitement and happiness within me. I began to feel happy reading and replying work emails. I felt a deep sense of satisfaction just typing the key board as I am doing my work. I enjoyed looking at my spacious and tidy desk, with a nice little cup of hot tea on it. I love walking around the office with my cool black jacket. And even the phone calls do not seem to disturb me.


Wow…… the process of Joy and Strength sinking into my heart is indescribable! This is a process of great transformation. Indeed what is written in the bible is so true:


Gal 6: 7
………….A man reaps what he sows…………..


I sow joy and encouragement into the lives of others; I reap back the same Joy and Strength myself. And its coming back to me more than a hundred fold. I really felt so joyful in the office. I even called up my sister in the morning and kept giggling to her over the phone to tell her how happy I was…… Really so happy…….. hahahaha……
