My Days So Far Since Last Post
Fruitful!
Monday was Teacher's Day, a day that I thought I will never experience as a teacher myself when I was still a student. I never thought that day was so meaningful, especially to the teachers. There is this primary 5 kid, he made me a card. This card was made plainly by using a piece of A4 size photocopy paper + markers + pencil + crayons. But I tell you, even though it is made of cheapo materials, even though it may be torn anytime, the simple words that he wrote, the stars that he drew, warmed my heart with his deep sense of sincerity and thankfulness. The efforts you have put in on the person has paid off. The results are secondary. It is how you as a person mould the other person to be. Nonetheless, My Father claims all glory and honor. =]
Tuesday was a simple day. Nothing much has happened. After work, I went for a movie - "Wall E" with my junior, Justin the Canadian. It was a late night movie. The movie is kind of nice to me but there is many different perspectives out there. Thus, it is for you to decide.
Today! Things worked out smoothly. I caught a movie again, this time was "Death Race", with my friends, Bing Hong, Ivan & Wilson Lien. The movie was superb. 4.5/5? There was a set up in the storyline, however, not that aspiring. Nonetheless, the action and ending surely pleases you as a viewer. It is a must watch movie!
I was on my way home on the MRT and I saw this couple quarreling. The male was trying his best to please the female but the female was showing off her "power", reluctant to give in. Its kind of nostalgic when I see it. This is what spices things up in life. However, things looked as if it is going out of hand as the minute hand ticks, the quarrel grew from bad to worst. Then, something happened to me. I did not know what happen but all I know is that I prayed:
"Father, I do not know what happened to them but you know best. You know what happened to them and surely you can help them. Only, you can... Please, help them. Amen."
I did not know what was I doing but all I know is this. Relationship, be it friendship, be it boy-girl relationship, be it family, be it husband-wife, all these are hard to start and hard to get. All the more, we should cherish them and let not little obstacles break such cherish-able relationship to disappear over-night. Let not good things come to an end and let not closeness end up hatred.
Why did I say that relationship does not come easy? Indeed you wish to be friend with that particular someone but it does not mean that particular someone wish to be friend with you. However, he/she chose to be friend with you. Likewise, in your relationship with God! He chose you so that he can have a relationship with you. It is not whether you want it but it is whether others are willing to give you that chance. And that chance does not come easy. Therefore my dear friends, cherish what you have, especially your relationship with God!
In Mark 10:17-31: There was this rich man that came and ask Jesus about the way to eternity.
"Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good- except God alone. You know the commandments: ' Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"
"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."
Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
The man was in distressed.
Jesus looked around and said to this disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. Then they asked, "Who then can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
No matter how different you and your friend are, no matter how big the gap between you two you say it is, nothing is impossible for you both to end up together. If it is by your efforts, and I mean Man's efforts, surely you will fail. But if it is by God's efforts, there is nothing impossible that He cannot do.
If through him you can receive eternity that is the ultimate gift from Him, what more is it if you ask for a blessed relationship! Therefore, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6)
Oh one more thing before I end. Guess what? The couple came back together, and they started to talk things out. Praise the Lord!
Cherish!
