'Would you be willing to follow me through the storms, have faith in me, and walk with me in your whole life?'
life has been up and down up and down for me.
if i followed one of my friend's advise to do up a chart on my own happiness and sadness for one whole month, the flactuation would be more greater...
life.
who even know whats life.
sometimes we just live our life blindly that we always know that there is a tomorrow waiting for us.
but what if one day, there isnt tomorrow for us.
what would you feel.
i think i will just feel damn remorseful, filled with regrets and crying my heart out.
but when im alive, its another different story.
life.
you chose either the world or the kingdom.
i heard of this story.
there is this person who died and saw God.
so God said, you have to go heaven and hell for one day, then you chose which one you prefer.
but the man said no, i will chose heaven. let me go heaven.
God said, nope. i'll bring you to hell first. come follow me.
then God brought this man down to hell.
he saw all his friends having parties, his wife and children all calling out for him.
with the big bungalows and big place and wealth that he can have.
and when the time is up to go heaven, he couldnt bear to leave.
then God brought him up to heaven.
he saw angels singing and playing harps, people wandering around happily without worries, beautiful quiet garden and lakes.
so God ask, what is your decision.
the man replied, i think i would like to go to hell.
and God bring him to hell to spend his eternal life there.
when he reached back to hell, all the things have changed.
he looked around.
his friends are doing waste things. his wife and children are crying for help.
no more parties, but only suffering.
people like me, always see things that are visible to my eyes and yet i forget about those that are invisible, intangible.
yet these invisible and intangible things are what we are going to bring along with us when we die.
God says, seek his kingdom first and everything would be added onto us.
and he also say, blessed are those who did not see me yet have believed.
sometimes men has to refocus their mind and thoughts, point it to Jesus.
but things often get harder and people start to fumble and fall and start to doubt Him.
but in the story of the storm, Jesus did not fumble and panic when the big storm was arriving.
instead he continued sleeping in the boat peacefully.
one lesson that will always keep us in mind is that.
we just always have to cling on to God whenever we are facing difficulties or walking through the dark stormy storm.
because i can assure you, that God is always there, and he is always always there.
though i have my fear, i have my doubt, i have my distrust..
but there is no one for me to trust in, except God- the one who has brought me through numourous storms.
