You're a carousel, a wishing well.

"Everytime we look back to the moment we signed this document it is for us a moment of anguish... We are connected by geography, the economy and ties of kinship. It broke everything we stood for."

This quote from Lee Kuan Yew suddenly came into my mind suddenly. He said it right after the separation from Malaysia.

Will there be a separation happening in my life?

I was really lazy this morning, and was seriously not in the mood to go for service. Especially since I was the pianist, and yes, I screwed it up. Secondly, I didn't want to face a certain two people, and was not super interested in today's topic for sermon. Thankfully, I didn't regret going service today, it was filled with meaning, fun, joy and laughter.

The sermon was meaningful, and I learnt quite a bit today. Thank God!

God's loving, and He sure is justice. You may ask why is there hell, when God's supposed to love everyone that He created! However, God detests sins, you cannot possibly make Him put up with sin, because He's the perfect, the exact opposite of sins. He gives people the chance to believe in Him, but once the chance is lost, you have no choice but to go to hell. So God actually gives people chance, so don't say that he's mean by sending people down to hell, and only select people to go to heaven. He loves EVERYONE, and he wants EVERYONE to go to heaven to join him of course!

What is hell exactly you may ask. It isn't like what some may say, with nine levels, and monster looking people, with tongues as long as idkwhat, touching the ground? Sorry if I offend anyone, I don't mean to. Everyone has what they believe in, and you may believe in that, while I don't. Hell is a dark burning fire-ish pit. A place where you are all alone, in darkness. You have no one to talk to, no one to complain to. No one, AT ALL. you're all alone, with insects biting you, and you can't scratch, you can't stop the pain. FOREVER. You might say that God is so cruel to actually create such a place for people to go to. But seriously, he gives people the chance already. What else can he do? Oh you may say, since he created everything, he could have created us to all listen to him. But think about it, he might as well just create robots right!!

If you doubt about His love, you can sure tell from how He sent Jesus down to earth, to save us. Say it this way. God is pure, God is perfect, and you want Him to come to earth, where it is a place of sin and dirtiness? That's such a big sacrifice for him isn't it? For you people, who manage to view this, it sure means that you have internet at home and it means that you are rich enough to afford internet. Yes, at least you're able to have a place to eat well and rest uh? Well, think about yourself doing to Africa for a month, or just only 10 days. No Nike shoes, only spoilt sandals or even bare-footed. No F21 tops, just a plain shirt when many holes. No Gucci or Puma bags, only plastic bags with no handles or even hand-carry only. No Silkpro or dove bathing stuffs, only water, and yellow water yes. No Crystal Jade, no KFC, no Macs, no rice. Just live off by leaves or the most, flour biscuits. No PSP, no DS lite, no gameboy, no Dota, no Audition, no anything. Play with grass, play with wild animals, and play catching in the juggles. No insect repellents, no perfumes. Only your own bare hands to hit away whatever insects there are. Could you survive there? For ten days? For 1 month? Yes? I doubt so. Even if you manage to survive, how many complaints will there be from your heart/mouth?

Jesus had to come down to Earth, where he was humiliated, spit at, mocked at, for thirty three years he lived on earth, and spent three years plus to preach. He was laughed at, and people wanted to kill him, people scolded him. Some welcomed him with open hands, and others slammed their doors at him. He could barely stop to find things to eat, he just kept walking and walking in those uncomfortable shoes of his. Always wearing the same few clothes, I doubt he could stop by the laundry and wash uh. In the end, people wanted to kill him, and he was nailed on the cross, having a crown made thorns pushed down on his head. He was even stripped down and was questioned about his identity. If anyone just pinch you really hard and bash you in the stomach or face, how would you feel? Ouch, pain? You would just scream in pain, and just cry out loud, or even faint. But Jesus just held on and put up with the pain. For what, such a stupid person! you may say. But it's all for us, he did it all for us, for the sake of saving us, and forgiving our sins. Isn't that such a great thing, such a magnificent thing, such a sacrifice for him? ALL BECAUSE, GOD LOVES US, He did all for us. What what do we do? Question him about his existent, is that right? Do you still question God? Do you still doubt his love for us? Think about it.

Certainly, I don't wish to argue with people about beliefs, cause it is your own choice. So if I offended anyone in this post, I sincerely apologise. But think about it, just think about it yourself. If you really want to be a Christian, but something's stopping, pray. If it's because of your family or your parents, "follow your heart". If you truly believe in God, nothing can stop you. God's love for us is strong. It is because God loves us, that is why we love. Take care and God bless to you, whoever that is viewing this:)

FYI, I'm so not advertising for people to be Chrisitians. But seirously think about it. I'm just sharing whatever that is on my mind tonight.

"For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that him should not perish, but have ever lasting life." John 3:16

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1st John 1:9

"Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." Jermemiah 32:19


PS. Tag if you have anything to say about this uh, I don't mind constructive comments.
