Born to Stand Out (part II) On a long bus ride again. Part 2 is more on the Christian perspective. The Bible is always encouraging people to stand up and stand out. God especially lovessss to ask the "hopeless", the "least expected" ppl to stand out. Joshua the young chap, David also young lad who nobody took seriously, Joseph as a young boy who only know how to daydream, Paul who is a hopeless antiJesus guy who became an apostle of God, and e list goes on.If anything, the Bible is hope for the hopeless. aint it? We may feel like we r "hopeless cases"...it can be ppl labelling us as that, or we r our own labellers. We think we wont amount to anything good and successful in life. but truly the Bible says if we trust Him to take over, He can make our destinies great. If we believe, there's nothing to it! Today at morning prayer mtg, pst Zhuang ministered to us, reminding us once again how GREAT is our God. In size, in intelligence, in wisdom, in authority and power, in love and righteousness, in justice and wealth. It is human tendency to forget what we do not see. When we r buried by problems and tribulations, we forget that the God we believe in is a God greater than e universe, the entire solar system (or systemS?). Bcos He is not smth our natural mind can conceive, all the more easier to forget that.He holds all power to make things possible. Only if we BELIEVE. And believe *long enough*. tts the keyword. faith in God is like running a marathon. The one who holds that faith and trust in God for the longest wins. Sadly, not everyone completes the race. Most started it thinking its gg to be a 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 2.4km race. But its not. A marathon is much longer. Much, much, much longer. Lets hold out while we can. If we want to live out our purpose (we r made to stand out from birth) 100%, lets go 100% for God! Labels: contemplative 12:17 AM
