Sunday 4pm is the best time for a person to write. Especially, when it's after a rainy weather. I can hear the insects cooling off, washing machine going on at the back of my house, my sister helping bro with some solutions, mom and dad outside working in the garden. So, I write now.

This morning service at HIS Church was a personal one today. Everyone gave their hearts and lives once again for kingdom work- God's. Encouraged, really, by the response of the congregation. That special moment (well at least, to me), I know that I'm not alone walking on this path. I chose that. So did the lady who sat beside (beside, beside, and more beside :P) me, and those youngsters in front of me.

I've been self centered many times. Always asking God to do this for ME, do that for ME, everything is about me, me and ME; helping me. It's selfish of me not to share with people about how real this God is, the burden of serving Him is light, about His grace and salvation and how big, loving, caring, faithful and so so loving most of all, even when I made mistakes and screwed things up, He does not give up on me. He fixes things! All things are possible with God.

This God is too big for us to fit Him inside a box.

Geddit? :D

If I think about something so impossible, it's possible for Him; If I think that it's a dead end, He'll get me out of there; If I think that this is all I have right now, oh yeah, bet sure that He's gonna give me MORE than enough! He gives abundantly! How do I know about all these things? It happened 2000 years ago, which was recorded in a book. That book contains 66 books in it, divided into two main sections, both awesome and inspiring stories in it. It's a treasure.

I look forward to the day, when He comes back to get me out of here, and bring me along to where He lives, where He has prepared a mansion for me, far more magnificent home than I can imagine with my physical mind. And I stay in a neighbourhood with all my brothers and sisters in Christ who gave their hearts and lives and live for the One in this temporary world. No riches of this world can compare with that of in Heaven. Now, when I hold on to this dream, even when you think that I'm crazily insane with this impossible and non sensible dream, look up in that book, it's real, and holding on to this dream is the ultimate of the ultimate one for me. It's just that we can't see it now, doesn't mean that it's not real. Just like we don't see the wind, doesn't mean that it does not exist.

How incredible it is for the new time to come.

Why did I make up my mind to trust this God, gave Him my heart and life? Was it because He was the God of my family? Was it because I was born in a Christian family? Was it because I had to because my parents said so?

Experiences with Him have changed me. From there, I know that a God SO REAL, loving and true is there looking after me. I can freely depend on Him with my needs, to love and be loved unconditionally.

Why should I trust Him? People robbed my dreams, hopes and eventually trust, and filled me with disappointment along the way, as I grow up. A person is different 10 years ago- His thinking, maturity, behaviour whatever not. Today, he's another person. I bet in 10 years time, he's another man. But God is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever and ever even after I die here. So whyy SHOULDN'T I trust Him? Why shouldn't I believe that He's a great person, a trustworthy friend, a loving father, a Protector, a Provider and all the awesome characters we name and nobody else is like Him, who is faithful and just? He is who He is. Nobody can change Him.

And to think that He has redeemed my soul, of what He did for me, the significant of that cross, totally saved my life, no one can do that but only the Son of God.

Life is never the same again, pointless, aimless and indecisive when I decided to serve and honour Him. I only have ONE time to live (not like fluffy cats with 9 lives :P).

Live not just for myself, but to tell others about my life testimonies, how God guided me, talk to me and love me even when I'm so unworthy. Life will never be the same again because I've found the purpose and meaning of it when I opened up myself to Jesus. There's more to look forward to than here, the temporary riches on Earth. There's more, there's MORE! :D Dig deeper, dig into the right place and there we'll find gold and wealth far more than the weight of it in this world.
