I believe, there's always at least one reason behind everything. And over all of my seasons, the reason is constant - Jesus' love sustains me through whatever that happens.
Apparently, my conditions of life have been so good, or should I say, they are getting better and more glorious. Praise the Lord ;) Lord You are very faithful, Your faithfulness... I can't even fathom.
Some inspirational thought came across my mind today, hmm must be the prompting of the Spirit.
Today, as you breath, as you live, as you are alive, what do you live for?
For fame that doesn't last eternally;
for materials that you can't bring to heaven;
or for toils that worth nothing at all (only when you realize)
?
Not here to criticize, not here to condemn, just here to claim that:
I have found my purpose of living. And ahah, you are so right. I live for the One who died to save me and redeem me from all evils and curses.
I live to live, to live a living life with a living God and my dear living Holy Spirit.
Yes I definitely don't deny that studies is essential but it is never my priority, as in I don't strive for my success in that area. Well, just like what I told my dera : We may look busy outwardly, but in fact we are restful inwardly. This means victory; restful increase.
I won't feel sorry for saying so because I am speaking the Truth. Even the Bible says
"For whom am I toiling," he asked,
"and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?"
This too is meaningless -
a miserable business!
-Ecclesiastes 4:8
Instead of striving all day long for nothing, I might as well celebrate my life and make merry! ;D For I am Daddy God's highly favored one!
Go, eat your food with gladness,
and drink your wine with a joyful heart,
for it is now that God favors what you do.
-Ecclesiastes 9:7
For Abba's favor will lead me to my path of prosperity and success *yhay* Now it doesn't matter if I am pandai or bodoh, a drop of His favor is all that I need. God's wisdom > Human's brain
His biased grace is for me ;) Qarah - right place; right time!
(Okay... actually you can claim your portion too, everyone is eligible to be a child of God, Jesus' sacrifice has justified your qualification, all you have to do is to believe)
The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
-Ecclesiastes 9:11
And lastly, to those who don't like to study, I have a gift for you :
Of making many books there is no end,
and much study wearies the body.
-Ecclesiastes 12:12
For sure you still have to study what you are supposed to study, nonetheless, please remember although there's a time to study, but there's a time to rest.
=)
