Today was another great day. I slept around 5 something, and thank God I managed to wake up on time to go for my service. In fact, I wasn't late at all. I was the earliest! Haha... Before I slept at that time, I pray to God that I want to go for another service, I hope to receive something from you, and I want to wake up early for it. Thank God, prayers answered! Early in the morning, probably because it's kinda rush, I felt pretty nausea in the van. It's like there are something to puke out,but when I tried to, there was nothing at all. Mostly airs. Again, I pray.. It was great! I witness and experienced that kinda of healing once again. =)
I really have to thank Ps. Derek for his great messages today. He taught us how to lead a new life in this 2010! What are things that we need to have to lead this new year! First of all, the RIGHT PERSPECTIVE. Second, the RIGHT PRIORITY. Third, the RIGHT PURPOSE. And lastly, my fellow members, the POWER OF GOD. You need to have the right perspective in your life, learn to sort out which one is the priority, then have the right purpose in whatever things you do, and last, pray that the Holy Spirit and the power of God is with you! If you are my friends, do encourage you to come join me in church too. It's not a place who is just built up for the Christians, it is a place for everyone.
Today, I received the calling to serve. Yeah.. I finally received it after long prayers! It's great.. I would use up all my talents and the gifts from him, and to live out the purpose that He has long prepared and put into me even before I was in my mother's womb. Thank God and I seriously want to thank my mother who dedicate me to God when I was only a baby. I only know bout it when I was 19! Haha... I was the only one who got this special privilege than my other siblings! That was such a great things to know about myself. However, that's not a thing to be arrogant of or anything. I hope that I could see people seeing how I have changed. I grew up in a non-Christian family, but I want to die, as a Christian, and with a Christian family by my side. God, I will do my best, and I will believe in You!
You know what, I can see that my life is really changing when I seek Him! I know how to make decisions! I know what's good with me, and what I should to to handle people, and cares for people around me. Giving encouragement, and pray for people. Spreading the Good News and love, not animosity. Lately, regarding to the Church's arson incident, all my friends, come on. Let's not condemn them. If you are a Christian, you are to love you neighbor! Don't treat them as your enemy! Even if they are, God says love your enemy! However, in my opinion, regardless the Malays, non-Christians of Chinese and Indians, and other ethnics group, all of you are my family, my neighbor! We live in the same land! We grew up here. We ate the same thing, share the same childhood memories, we goes the same school, we are under the same authority! So why do we build divisions among us? Why care so much of the bloody skin color? I grew up in a neighborhood full of multiple races. I played with them! My parents taught me to call them "Pak Cik" "Mak Cik" or "Uncle" "Aunty"! Greet them "Good morning!" Or anything! Come on... Where is all these favorable and great cultures? Why do we let those extremist governs out mind and lead to animosity and cruelty? We are born with brains, with creativity and rationality, don't do dumb things! Don't get tempted so easily nor influenced that easily! Just because other are not doing the right thing, it doesn't gives you the right to do the wrong thing! My Pastor always remind us of this! I love this!
I remember those days when I fought with Malay friends out of misunderstanding and etc. However, today, I dare to tell you, I am friends with them! I no longer have anger nor revenge towards them! I treated them like my own friend.. I say Hi to them! I ask how they are doing! I ask for their number to keep contact! I add them in my Facebook! Come on! Let's continue to learn how to live together in harmony and grace! I still remember I have a friend who is working at McDonald! He is a Malay! For me, he is really a great friend of mine! I remember previously when I go back to my hometown for my part-time during semester break, I went to McD to buy something for my colleagues! He saw me, he comes to serve me, he say Hi to me, he even remembers my name! Guess what when I was about to pay him, he says ,"Eh bro..lama tak jumpa! Ini belanja you! Tak yah bayar! Susah nak jumpa you! " You know why.. I felt like crying! What a great friend I have in my life! Not because he treats me, but because, he treats me as a friend despite of our skin color, our races, our religion, and anythings else. He treats me as a friend!
Come on, all fellow Malaysians. Let's stand united. It's not time to build divisions. From the word divisions, and let's think about visions. We all share the same vision of 2020. But, why do we build divisions among ourself? You put "di" into the word "vision" equals to division. In Science, when we put "di" , for example diatomic, which means two! Don't we, one Malaysia, share one Visions instead of TWO visions which equals to DIVISION? We learn about "Bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh" "United we stand, divided we fall" If you are a Malaysian, built tis mentality in your life that we are born Malaysian, we die as a Malaysian. When we love Malaysia, we love each other! Alright? Pals... Let's stop criticizing each others, it's time to learn how to compromise, accept and love one another.
