well, it started on the road...

my diary entry:

I listen to Christian songs endlessly (of course, until battery went off). And I was touched by one song: Indescribable by Avalon.

That song helped me see how amazing is God - indescribable, and of course, bigger than my imagination. The song has a line that touched me so much more:

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

I don't have to meditate much to realize that God knows me so much more than I do know myself. If He knows the zillions of stars by name, what about us? He knows us more than we know ourselves. We are God's special creation. We are given life, breath, abilities, skills.

The stars definitely have different names, like us do.

We are THAT special.

I combined that with Max Lucado's book "The Cure for The Common Life".

Yeah!

We are so special! God has given us things to give that others cannot give.

I joined Max in asking myself a question: What drives me? And when I lift my head up, I know one thing that drives me. It's simply

To Give.

Nothing more than that. I want to give what I can to the world. I want to give my all to Jesus. I want to glorify His Name by any means!

...

As God's Word stated,

"Give it from the best that you receive"

[Numbers 18:29]

"Give to others, and God will give you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands - all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you."

[Luke 6:38]

"When you give to the poor, it is like lending to the Lord, and the Lord will pay you back."

[Proverbs 19:17]

and currently, i'm working on a project. i want to ask my reverend and my brothers and sisters in the church whether it's alright first or not. it's an act of giving.

i looked back on my life and i realised that i have been a so much more of a giver than a receiver. truthfully, i ask for God to give me brokenness, not blessings. because there's so much more blessings in brokenness than in blessings itself.

look at Jesus: He is so broken in His life. but yet, He is so blessed by so many people now.
now i truly understand what pastor tim goh has always said: the world system sucks! the system only wants the best for himself. for Christian, it's humility that's important.

so, share and give. for blessing others will receive blessings from the Lord Himself.
