Faith In God

 

While observing the Good Friday occasion this day, we watched a film entitled “David and Goliath” and it tells us the story of the giant and fearless Philistine warrior. He is always at the forefront of the Philistine force then comes the character of the young lad named David who puts all his trust in God and decides later to face the challenges of the former.

David, being a shepherd, is indeed an obedient son to his father yet time comes when he could no longer endures the inhuman and barbaric treatment of Goliath to his fellow brothers and sisters that he entrusts everything to God and decides to fight the giant Goliath.

At the end, due to David’s total trust to God and on himself, he is triumphant in his fight against the ruthless Goliath. Thus, the deed of David who puts all his trust in God to face the gigantic Goliath gives us a concrete example of how faith can do to anybody. Somehow, there are plenty of trials in life that can also be likened to “Goliath”  like difficulties on relationships, financial problems, spiritual struggles, unfair treatment from others etc. but with a faith like that of David then nothing is impossible and everything will be alright.

May we  also possess in our hearts the kind of faith that David displays in his lifetime. Our faith in God can allow us to continue with our journey no matter how challenging the road may be.

Another Day of Opportunity

 

We are almost at the end of the day and as we look back on this day’s events and we then  discover that we are so lucky to have received plenty of blessings today. We should not forget  to count all our blessings each day.

In spite of all the trials and burdens we carry each day, the gains and other positive experiences outweigh them at the end of the day. Though we may not and never be perfect yet we are so blessed by wonderful things being unfolded to us everyday.

On the other hand, we are equip with varying tools (skills, talents, resources etc) to survive each single day. Despite the reality that we are unequal on these resources but somehow, the very positive thing for us to consider is the actuality  that we are lucky enough to receive them in our life.

Finally, may we count each single day as an avenue for us to gain further development on ourselves and on our relationships with others. Never regret any experience that come your way but instead, look back to it afterwards and think on whatever way then it becomes a tool of growth for you.

Learn To Appreciate Each Single Day

 

As we are nearing to the end of this week, perhaps becomes obvious to us that we have plenty of experiences and memories within the week. Some may be unpleasant and others are too excellent that they will always remain in our hearts for they also give us wisdom and growth.

Moreover, this is beneficial for us to learn how to appreciate each day that comes our way. May it be a pleasant one or the other way around BUT somehow, if we reflect on it, there would always be lessons that we can learn from them.

Thus, may we learn to express gratitude to all those memories and pay them forward by doing good things to others so that in our own little way, we could also share sunshine to others.

 

Moving On

One time, while we were at the city trying to strengthen further the bond of love on all of us being a family, I also tried to observe all those people around us. What was evident then is that amidst the uniqueness of each one, there is always that universal bond and similarity among us and that is our ability to withstand all those trials and challenges that come our way.

Indeed, we need to move on from every adversary that comes our way. Just like that I am clueless on what is going on within the selves of those people roaming around the city, regardless of race, colour, background, social standing in the city, but somehow, I know that each one is looking forward to what lies ahead of them.

Move on each day as it also unfolds to us limitless opportunities for growth and for self fulfilment. Share your resources to all and never expect something in return.

 

Who Is Your Guiding Light?

 

As we all know it, life is such a wonderful journey, that oftentimes the road will lead us into the unknown and full of surprises. We have no clues what lies ahead of our road on this trip. As each day unfolds before us, we come along embracing it with full of enthusiasm and vigour.

However, there could be times that darkness fills this road and therefore, could possibly affect us negatively. When the road gets tough and tougher, others tend to succumb to it and lose sight of the incoming bright roads ahead. But does anybody has control over these rough roads of life? I reckon there is no one and when those rough roads strike us, we better be ready so that we can also overcome the weight of their impact on us.

On those bumpy twists and intersections of our ride, it is then that we need a guiding light….a steady light that will lead us into the road….into the right path….allowing us not to lose sight of what is ahead of us. Can you then identify who is your life’s guiding light?

This is the light that continues to shine no matter how tough the road is. A light that gives you sense of direction and teach you the difference between right and wrong. Personally, my guiding light is my family and they will continue to shed harmony on my path regardless to whatever circumstance that awaits me.
