Enjoy the Journey



I just started reading this book that i've bought few months back (when joel was still working at BBS) and God gave me another revelation. This book is an account of jars of clay and Brother andrew going vietnam and china for mission work. Though i've been to indonesia twice for mission work myself, i wasn't as impacted as reading just the first chapter of this book!

I began to think about the suffering children in the third world countries and all who are facing life's greatest battle. How small are my problems as compared to theirs? We count down every minute we spend in lecture halls and tutorials and hoping for holidays to arrive asap. Them? Every single minute for them is battling moment. Can they live past yet another minute? Will they be at the Heaven's door in a minute's time? We have the privilege to make decisions like what to eat for lunch, where to go after work, should i join this club...where they can only decide between persevering to keep that last breath and surrendering to death. Aren't we so much more fortunate?

Oh Lord, have mercy on these suffering children. We claim your promise, that suffering children are ALL safe in your arms. May your grace and love covers them, day and night. Lift their pain, their burden, their worries and grant them your very peace and happiness. Oh Lord...have mercy.

Enjoy the Journey, that God has set for you. Let Him unfold His wonderful plans in our life, with that trust and confidence. Many crossroads He'll bring us to. But be assured that no matter what decisions we make in life, whether big or small, He'll be there for you. He's always there for you...

Girly are u tired? Don't grow weary!
God, our God will make you strong.
He'll take care of you, 
He'll give you a better tomorrow. 
Don't give up, hang in there,
for God has promised good to you.
He'll surely make you soar on eagles' wings.
Love from above, love from your sides.
My dear friend, jia you ah...
With you, with love.
