Today after the sermon, i am so determined to scribble something here in the blog. The message was so strong and meaningful. It was on 1 Samuel 18-19 in the scripture. Pastor message was about "No pain no gain". It was mentioned how David was pulling through the struggle with God in him. He chose to escape rather that retaliate. Just like how an enemy has arrived, he did not choose to kill. 
Often at times, when something decides to happen without our knowledge, especially when bad days strike, meeting with bad people so to speak, we mourn, we complain, we shout. When things got better, we rarely give thanks. If you're in the journey with God, we'll soon realise the struggles that we pull through with strong determination, it's a process of growing. I agreed with what pastor said "wilderness will derive our character". Character is always seen when we tend to solve an issue. Don't take wilderness as the judgment from God, it is actually the will of God for us to go through something in order to grow internally, and i believe it's also a way for us to grow spiritually with Him as our guide.
Struggles are good, although most of the time it's hard. Nobody will love struggles. Everyone yearns to live a simple problem-free life. To me, i can guarantee that, it's through difficulties, we find victory. Just like how we always practise badminton, we won the medal and we feel the victorious touch! :) Whatever it is, we ought to give thanks to God.
Sometimes, we always aim for big picture, or even bigger picture. We are being taught to think far, to think further! As huge as a dream, as beautiful as it is. We forget about HOW we achieve that. We bypass lots of mini steps of achievement. As much as we want that, we'll still forget that it;s the lil lil steps that we pave to reach the point of excellence! It's good that we always strive for a good result, it's even better to strive for excellence, but it's a no-no to strive for perfection. We are not perfectionist, neither you nor me. If we get to strive till excellence, we're considered a good man. Continue with the excellence. None of us can fulfill anyone's "perfection".
