Coincidence? Or something Beyond.

Math, Science, History

Physic, mother all science. Suggested everything happened were all based on the balancing of the equations.

Even you won a lottery are all  math or a hit on the rare chances. They name it coincidence.

But will you call it being lucky or God's blessing?

I used to believe in luck or with better feng shui I will be able to attain better luck. But this is not consistent with every feng shui arrangement i made. 

I've been a Christian for 6 years plus, and this Luck had been with me almost every time. Every prayer I made, I got it right away. So are they still coincidence or luck? No!

It been years and my God have been with me, pouring His blessing into my already full Cup. Prayer are crucial in my life not only secure my heart but bring peace to me. A way of communication to a person that is beyond science.

Pray for what you wanted to pray. You may not know what may come your way.

Rejected Light: Light that constant pursue YOU

As I walking in i-City during the night of Christmas, the colorful lights around are so beautiful to gaze on and continue to look forward to see more.

It gave me a good illustration about a teaching i read not long ago. People around me may keep ask why I'm always wanted to share teaching or philosophy around? Well I love to share things that I see as Golden. I'm always on duty and sharing is my job. I will not stop to bless.

            Imagine that this light are thing around us, thing that we been chasing, we even wanna own this light in our house. 

We keep continue to look for different light: Chasing after brand,awaiting for new arrival, fun activities.

We desired to see more beautiful light: Desiring for more wealth, fame, romance.

We even wanted to own some of the light : Obsessing  or addicted to please ourselves.

Can these light shine away the darkness around us? These lights are hot but do they really warm us from inside out? More important, will this light stay constant and never perish?

          If i were to tell you there is this light that sometime we love and sometime we curse have a lot of benefits to us, will you follow this light from now on? We know this light, its scientific proof of existence and we just take this light for granted,  doesn't appreciate its full beauty and even complain it as a nuisance. 

Sunlight 

-Light that has been around way before our ancestor's births

-Light and source that warm the Earth

-Light we been waiting when it set and rise

-Light that we complains too hot and appreciate when it is gone

-Light that constant there and be around to shine off the dark

Who will this Light representing?

Yes, Jesus Christ was what I wanted to illustrate.

We know a person name Jesus Christ, people that follow His behavior are called Christian. We know His history but to some of us we do not accept the work He done for us. Not appreciated and even doubt His act, decision and even is He a Messiah?

He is the son of the Alpha and Omega

He is always ahead of us, knowing us before we were born

He warm every heart that accept Him and continue to lead them

He was rejected, Condemned, forsaken, died on the Cross but He rises again getting Freedom from us.

His act and decision were always unknown to our logic but we never complain once He's away

Most important one is, He is the one and only to Pursue you instead of you chasing after other.

Christmas was never about Santa and boxes of present, is about a birth of a Man and his gift to us. His birth to grant us a second birth. Drawing us closer to God. Buying freedom , redeem us who were under the law.

Christmas is not about remembering how many reindeer there is or how many cookies you need to offer, is about Appreciating the events and work He had done for us and what we have to offer Him for his Unending love.

Born to die for me, who caused His Pain.

For me, that lead His blood shed on the Cross.

A heavenly King who reach out to us,

Amazing Love! Paying His Life to bring Life to us.

Merry Christmas Everyone^^

Find a TIME & Stop!!!

Fast foods, Faster services, Speeding production, Fastest Car. We are primed to make everything fast and get to see the result within a short time period. 

We learn how to use time efficiently so that we do not waste time. We filled up our schedule with lots of activities, workload, and etc.

A lot of time we stuck at time when we got no choice but to wait for the result. Book never teach us what to do while we wait, or i would say no teaching tell you what to do while you wait for result. Most people spend it to worry about the result. Pointless right?

Why not STOP?! Stop and start enjoy/appreciate everything around you. Stop and notice what you have instead of fast moving. Constant focusing on things you doesn't have will result you to miss things out. Worst we focus on doing thing that does not yield any result.

As Christmas is approaching, we celebrate the birth of our Savior- despite the dark night of the soul we may experience-All is Well because of Christ. We are not alone in our pain as we going through the feeling of losing a loved one, illness and depression that will not go away. We shouldn't complain nothing is well, FML. 

God is right beside us and His promises never to leave. Always seek God as His peace pillows the head  when God's promises calm the heart. He will provide us what we need.

Temptations& 2nd Chance: Hope in Christ &Christmas

There are millions to billion ways to tempt a person to sin, hard to resist and finally yield to temptation.
We were blessed and came with a fine,healthy body yet for the "fun" we damage our body. Sometimes, we hurt not only ourselves but also hurting those concern or around us.
But is it really our fault? If sin were not deceitful, it wouldn't seem delightful to us.

People like us that had already sin many times, are like a rich man's prodigal son. A son that spend most of his own money on "fun" he wanted, running a life and do whatever he desired. Resulting himself starved with pig's meal.
How are we, a unworthy and weak minded going to be forgiven by our Father in Heaven. No worry, He is a merciful and kind God that will receive you back and welcomed you with his warm arm, even start a FEAST with you as long as you repent your way.

But what make this statement true? Think again. God send forth His son, Jesus to earth He created wasn't just to observe or give us a clearer teaching but also to bear the burden of our guilt, sin, sorrow, worries all together with himself.
We celebrate Christmas is to remember a Person that born in this night many  years ago. To appreciate efforts He made and Love that He gave.
We went through feeling where we were ignored, unappreciated, mistreated, cold shouldered and even rejected. It feel terrible wasn't it? We treated them nice, accepted them and we should deserve more right but we only been hurt by just few of them.

Imagine with your mind, Jesus agreed to travel a long way from His place, heaven to earth. Accepted our humanity, born in a weak human flesh and appearance that do not attract anything to him. A man of sorrow, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turn our back on him and looked other way instead of Him. He was despised and rejected yet we do not care.
It was our weaknesses He carried, our sorrow that weighed Him down. Wounded and crushed for our sins. Forsaken so we could be forgiven, Condemned so we could be accepted. He does not complain but continue to support us. Even until the day He was stretched and die on the Cross, His journey to save us did not end there. For His name, Immanuel "God with us" He will always be with us like wind that we can feel but not see. Light and warmth in the darkness.

He come to us, bringing Hope. Christmas is just one day in a year but we remember Him everyday in remembrance of what He had done for us.

Galatians 4:1-7

Addiction

Many among us have addiction. I'm one of them too. As human, once we addicted to something we can only change what we addicted to and not stopping addiction. It is a nature to our human body and mind.

For me, I'm addicted to a person and His way. Jesus Christ and Christianity. I don't deny the fact that I'm crazy with His work of miracles and His mercy.

People may argue with me about existence of Hell, Heaven, Miracle and Reward/Punishment. Those are things that we can't see. No solid evidence of the presence of God.

But what I can say is based on the Bible "
-The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit- John 3:8


We can prove the presence of heat but we can never measure the cold. We can predict the light but we can never test the depth of dark. That's why to my addiction, I will stand strong to my belief that God is real and He is always been with me with or without any proof.


On top of that i will never change my addiction to other since my addiction is half accepted by society half rejected by society. Where other addiction is always rejected the most by of the society.
Smoking- rejected by non smokers,health patient,
Football- one party of a relationship and other non foot ball fan
Pc game- people with LIFE would reject it.
Money- people around you would hate you straight away

I'm treating other good as myself- acceptable?
I'm helping and always agree to help- acceptable?
I'm willing to offer without been ask- acceptable?
I'm willing to share if I'm able- acceptable?
I pray for divine Blessing to who I love, hate and neutral- acceptable?
I forgive and be patient for those who hurt me- Acceptable?

People speak evil and expect other to accept their bad self. Not to me, I speak of love toward other and expect other to hate my bad self. Like Christ, do only goods and not by just thinking of it. Avoid thought of evil.

I may be oppressed, screwed, displeased. But I always find refuge in His presence. I seen quite enough to feel that im over blessed as compared with the blessing i gave to other.

Addiction to a King who willing to Die for me. A Father that willing to sacrifice his Son for me. Love, Grace, Mercy, to me, family and friend. Tell me what other addiction can better than this.

" When I walk on the sand beach, I see 2 pair of foot steps;
walking side by side with me. That I know God is with me.
That is when I'm having nice time enjoying the scenery.
When I meet difficulties, as I walk i realised that there is only 1 pair of foot step;
I asked God why? Why had he left me alone when I'm facing hardship? You said you will carry the yoke whenever and where ever it would be.
God: Simon, look carefully.
Your feet is smaller than the footsteps, and the steps are way heavier than your weight.
For I carry you on top of Me throughout the way."
