believer

I've been wanting to share this last week, but too many things happened in a week, too brain consuming, therefore, hardly have the inspiration and mood to pendown something here :)

Anyway, it's a message that i heard from church invited speaker the other day. This pastor is a chinese, i believe he also understands very much what a chinese will think, how's the mentality and all in this community.

He shared with us this message. It's said that people only choose christianity, choose to believe God when things happen. Disastrous thing to be exact. Previously, I also heard from others that, christians comes to you when you're at your weakest point of life. When you're super sick, you seek for god(s). When you're poor, you pray for wealth stuff like that.

I always wonder, why we, chinese can be that selfish? It's nth about religion here, but it's the culture that we've brought into. Why are we so selfish? When do we wanna give ourselves a change? My mum used to tell me we need to 还神 when we receive good thing. It's just like how a pastor will tell u to praise God in prayer for all the blessings that you've received. I could agree no more. We seriously need to learn how to praise Lord. He protects us when our lives are at stake. He plans for us to go through difficulties with strength. If we can go through all these, we should thank Him for all these. Not only to think about our own welfare, we gotta think of His words too. When we receive thing, we shld say thank you. That's very common and that will be common when it comes to spirituality too.

I'm grateful that i choose to be a believer at this period of time when i am ready. It's not a period whereby i NEED him, but it's a period i WANT to be with Him. I hope i can continue to uphold this spirit :)
