| Dear Brothers and Sisters, I was watching a film earlier... and it all of a sudden got me thinking about the meaning of life and beauty of all creations. And now, I have this urge to share with you all of what I gain from this day-dream of mine. We are so tiny and little in this tiny and little world, yet we are so much loved by the One with the most superior power. To him, we are small, yet He never sees us that way. On the contrary, everything was prepared before the Lord created mankind on the sixth day. He brought us here to enjoy what He personally made for us... The One on the highest plans for everyone of us, He takes care of everyone of us. Look around you! Whatever you have in your room, or in front of you; when you go for a walk, all those flowers with different colours, puppies running around or kids chasing after each other, or even children's laughters. Our boring job and demanding boss. Family and friends, boyfriends or girlfriends. These were all in God's plan long before we were born. His plans for each of us were different, but the adventure of our lives never, and I mean never, changes His love. His love, His forgiving love, and above all, the love full of promises. Let us all bow down before Him and be a humble servant and obey His teachings and together we grow in the love of God. Let us pray together and pray that He grants us wisdom to understand how insignificant we are and how much we need His generous love. Let us pray together and pray for the Holy Spirit to be with us now and always, and let us be a blessing to other people happen to our life. The fact is, human are mostly selfish and are absurdly naive. We may think we can live up to 70 or even 80 years old, with the help of modern medicine and advancing technology. However, this arrogance and stupidity, with a tiny accident on any Monday morning, may have already cost our lives, and we may not even manage to live past our 30s (This is just an example. Please don't find it offensive... May God be with us ^_^). And even if we can live long enough to do what most other had achieved, this time frame means nothing, absolutely nothing, to our eternal God. He is everlasting, He was there hundreds of thousands of years ago, He is there now, and I am sure He will also be there when our kids go to college. With such a short life of ours, why don't we commit ourselves to serve Him? Why don't we commit ourselves to serve the One and the Only One who deserves to be served? So brothers and sisters, I sincerely urge you and myself, to live for His glory. Please when we work, we all work for His glory. Be humble and serve the others in the name of the Lord. Let us all glorify His powerful name with our speaking and our act. I also truthfully wish that you and I will love Him like the way He loves us, that is with ALL our heart, ALL our soul, ALL our strength, and ALL our mind, not to mention to love our neighbours along with brothers and sisters in fellowships as well as in churchs, and to love ourselves (which is why I am going to register a GP before end of month... haha). Right, I understand this may be a boring sharing, but I hope it may have brought something to you in this Christmas and the forthcoming new year. REMEMBER! Jesus, our model servant, was delivered into this world, not to be served, but, to served those in need. 'Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.' (Psalm 43:5) Merry Christmas (and thanks be to you, my Lord, for giving us Baby Jesus, your only Son, on this special time of the year!!) In Christ, Benjamin |
