Problems,problems,problems...
Recently a young member of mine church have a lot of problems. Problem with guys, problems with her christian life,problems with church. She just wanted to put down everything she is doing and want to lead the life that she wants.
What is the life that i want? To tell u the truth,i dunnoe. All i know is if i forsake the church and the things i am doing now, i will regret it later in life. Life should be without regrets, i regretted too much and ended up running circles in life.
We tried our best to talk to her, understand her, give her advice blah blah blah.As the new PM of Singapore said in his national day rally, the government can give you financial assistance and aid to poor Singaporeans but the only solution to get out of these problems is through Growth. I think her main root of the problem is the lack of faith and the only solution to this is through Growth.Of course it does not only applies to her, it applies to every living christian. Cos faith is the fuel of ur christian life, just like the car can't run without fuel, a runner can't run without energy.
In my life i have always walked around the mountain. Although the mountain is just right in front of me, i just choose to walked around it. I have always feared to go up because i know it will be a strenous and ardous journey. The darkness, the lack of air, sometimes a step is a torture. But then to have a spectacular view of the world and see God's works in life, the only way is up. The night before Martin Luther King's assassination, he said "Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord"
I am now trying to climb the mountain and see the promised land for myself. Many christians have climbed it and stuck halfway, not through the treacherous weather but due to their lack of faith. A mountain-climber worst nightmare is that they are neither up nor down, not due to the weather but due to their losing of will-power. As for the that member in my church, she is neither up nor down and we are trying to tell her to press on too to see the promised land.
As for me i am trying to get out of my dark and sad past, a dungeon that keeps me enslaved to the world. i want to defy the laws of the world and gravity to get on that mountain and climb to the mountaintop. As for my past, maybe i will divulge more on my nxt posting. So keep your eyes peeled for my blog haha.
