Day 403
Finally, a decent blogpost with rightful indents and spacings.
My title for today is : My Fight with the world!
What does it literally means by my title? We have to understand that we live in a world filled with grieve, hatrate, selfishness, unforgiveness, bitterness, resendment and many many more negative things that witheld our true blessings.
Through the cycles of my life, I come to see in light off the darkness. I come to be slow to anger and not to be quick to judge.
It is absolutely normal that good people receive craps in life, hurts that they do no deserve and pain they thought that a good man like someone should not deserve?
What has it got to do with my battle against the world and towards God's kingdom. The world operates in a hopeless manner, just give a few examples in my daily life.
1. A rich kid offering a Sentosa Cove house on my birthday
The world response: Incredible and amazingly awesome. Marry him and live a good Taitai life, you deserve it.
My response: I do not love this man, life cant be incredible without love. I do not want to make a step of selfishness and murder my moral values.
2. A friend highly recommended his best friend to me for a date, well to do, permanant head damage scholar with an apartment above orchard ION.
World response: Marry him and live a fruitful life without worries
My response: For what? God gave me a man to love, my chou chou to father my children one day, why take a short cut just because it seems lesser hassle?
Friends, in life, there is no shortcuts, you might just end up detouring when you accept the world's offer.
3. Friend A, come to work for my company and you will make good money. My excutives make 15 to 20 grand a month easily. Dont sell insurances anymore, they dont bring you far.
The world response: Yeah go! climb higher and take the money so you can save more poors.
My response: I can save and make more money certainly, but this insurance job is my passion, I make a decent living caring and loving people, I have my flexibility, I can run my ministry, why look at that miserable money which just come and go?
Many people accept the world's offer and lose their life. I am not talking about someone dying but something in a greater sense and light. Because you took up the world's offer and loses time with your love ones. A child needs more of your hugs than the money you can show him. A wife needs more of your love than the whatever massage/spa/facial package you can pay for her.
Because of taking up a world's offer, you may end up compromising your health, your happiness, your church, your friends, your family and your own soul.
Like my cellmate des, he didnt compromise to a world's offer. 3X more his current salary, but he rejected the world's offer. He is a great man of God, he knows God didnt want us to use friends and love ones in exchange for a world's offer that will take away time with love ones. He made a choice. A good godly choice.
I fight the world through all these daily battles.
1. World says, get angry, this fellow did wrong to you. God says: its ok, peace be with you. I am slow to anger.
2. World says, horn and point your current, he almost bang your car. God's say, bless the driver, he might be facing difficulties in his life.
3. World says , sell the highest commission plan even when he do not needs it. God says, plan according to his finances abilities.
4. World says, hate him, he hurt you, dont forgive him, he deserve his karma. God says, love him even more, pray for him and forgive.
5. World says, your dad scold you so unreasonably, walk away and sulk your face, best is to answer him back. God says, Give him a hug and tell him that you really loves him.
6. World says, come on, love this man, he is rich, good looking and he can support you entire life without worries. God says, Dont let selfishness rule over you.
7. World says, hey, you are so broke, worry and be unhappy, hard sell your insurance. God says, money is not your lord, I am. Be happy and be hardworking, I will provide.
8. World says, you are already so busy, still go and give bible studies. God says: when you take care of my people's well being, I take care of yours.
9. World says, be calculative and be selfish, count every single cents you treat people with and expect their returns. God says: I have bless you enough to bless others.
10. World says, stop waiting for an unfaithful man's return, he dont deserve you. God says, I remained faithful to my children even they worship other idols. God remained faithful when I was so unfaithful to him for the past 25 years.
This list can go on and on and on . . . .
My last take for my day post. Dont compromise your moral values to the world, dont compromise your love to the world's advertisment of selfish love. Dont take advantage of others just because the ball is in your court. Because one day, you will end up losing more than whatever you thought you have gained.
Dont give in to the world.
P.S: Many times I told my arvin boyboy things in which I really see a great potential in. One thing to remind, truly, dont give in to the world just because others are doing it for they do not know what they want. Keep your moral values high, and you will end up conquoring the world and winning battles over battles because you didnt compromise.
My hubhub, he has a very weak faith. He is constantly giving in to the world, he ended up losing his own identity in constant lies to himself. I love him and even more knowing his inner self. A true weak self, he do not dare to face. Now I am strong, if only he will allow me to hold his hands and we fight this battle of the world together. He do not even have the slightlest strength now to lift his hands to reach out. My heart breaks for him. Because his selfishness is hurting himself more than he is hurting others. My love for my hubhub is far more than you guys can imagine. I just live in him, which is why I can experience all his fear and fighten child in him, like how God lives in me.
Father, please be by the side of my hubhub and walk with him. He is a fragile child, my love, and beloved. Let your love touch him and give him strength like how you touches me everyday.
Amen.
