hi everyone... 1 day passes quickly doesn't it. I had soccer training today, then went to the cage to play football with jon ong and his friends. Then i got lost cos i couldn't find transport but God made a way out and now i'm home!
God really is graceful. I took public transport from my house to the cage at kallang. When i went to the bus stop that i stopped at, i found out that the bus that i was supposed to take wasn't there. Strange right? So i took the bus that was available, 16, orchard and changed bus to go home! Isn't it amazing? how God's love for us is so great that he will provide a way out from whatever problems we face? I felt God's presence when i was lost. We are like the lost sheep waiting to be found. We wander around, trying to see but we can't because we don't see God clearly. But with God's power and love, we manage to see clearly again and enjoy the peace and harmony God has showered on us each and every day.
Finding a way out is a challenge. We must do our best to overcome it. So we pray and trust God that he will provide a way out for us, no matter what problem. Be it temptation, current problems, etc. It says in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
This reminds me of a song:
God will make a way
When there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to his side
With Love and Strength for each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way
God makes a way out for us... how serious it is. Sometimes when you don't choose to go that way, the problem will get serious and soon it will be worse and you might not be able it to handle the problem anymore. What will you do if you were tempted? Will you say NO! or maybe say Yes!!! Please! I understand that you guys enjoy and long for earthly things. But these things cause addiction and these things might make you worship them and you will break the commandment "Thou shall only worship the Lord your God" I tell you this, enjoy these things, you can say yes to your desires but control them, don't make them control you!!!
Love is essential. You get it from God everyday, all the time. Especially in happy and problematic times does His love stand out. You see Him holding your hand, walking with you and working together with you to solve the problem. We see His love through many people. Be it your mom, your dad, your siblings, friends, strangers, anyone will show you his/her love when he/she does something that is good. Show love to your loved ones. Acknowledge the love that they give to you by thanking them and showing your undying love for them as well. Our parents shower us with their unconditional love. Show them that you acknowledge them. Say 'I love you' to them. Make them feel that they have a wonderful child that they will enjoy having.
In Mark 12:30, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all you r soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." How do you show this love for God? Yes worship Him, pray to Him. But i feel that we should love our neighbours as ourselves. This really shows our love for God. As God created all of us humans, He is within us as the Holy Spirit, so not loving friends, and other people means in short, not loving God. So LOVE EVERYONE!!! GOD CREATED US TO LOVE EACH OTHER, NOT TO HURT ONE ANOTHER!!!
