What Matters Most

Life is all about LOVE 

Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. This is because by nature we a selfish.As Christians, we are told to live a life of love, which is my on going mission now. God wants his family to be known for its love more than anything else. Jesus said our love for each other- not our doctrinal beliefs- is our greatest witness to the world.
The Bible says " let love be your greatest aim" . That is why in my earlier blogs I stated that relationships must have priority in your life above everything else. Life without love is really worthless.
 Often we act as if relationships are something to be squeezed into our schedule. We talk about finding time for our family or making time for people in our lives. That gives the impression that our relationships are just a part of our lives along with many other task.God says relationships are what life is all about. 
All the Ten Commandments are about relationships. After learning to love God, which is worship, learning to love others should be your second purpose in life. Relationships, not achievements or the acquisitions of things, are what matters most in life.

Busyness is a great enemy of relationships. We become preoccupied with making a living, paying our bills, work, and accomplishing goals as if these are the point of life.They are not. The point of life is learning to love. God and people.

Love will last forever. The greatest is love

My Testimony(My Grandmother)

So lately I haven't been updating my blog. I'll tell you why now. After my finals, I had to go to Penang, to visit my ill grandmother. My mother was pestering me and my brother to hurry back afraid she would not make it. My friends could see it in my face that I was troubled. So I did go to Penang with my friends on one Sunday morning. BTW, my grandmother suffered from cancer of the pancreas. Seeing my grandmother... I was in shock, she was so frail and thin. I ask her how was she and she replied " What do you think?" . I said " You look, very thin grandma" and she nodded. She was really weak. The next day she could not speak at all. She had no energy to open her eyes or even utter a word, just moan. My mother was taking care of her for the pass three weeks. I came and helped her out. My mum was teaching me how to take care of her and asked me to do it. Amazingly my grandmother was recovering. The next day she could talk. After that she could read the new...

Relationships are worth restoring

Just to be clear, when I said relationships I did not limit myself to just boyfriend/girlfriend but to every kind of possible relationships in this world. Relationships are always worth restoring. They are what matters most in life. Relationship with God,friends, siblings, with your boss, parents, soul mate, wife, children, etc. They build bridges between each other. If your live as a hermit, live within the shadows, think your are better off alone, then you wont grow. We can only grow in a community where we learn from our mistakes, humble ourselves,....wait getting off point here. Life is all about love. Love is the most powerful thing. We should learn how to love . For me, I would like to be in the ministry of restoring relationships. For those who do not know what ministry means, it means some kind of governing body or main focus in a job. For this case, governing body for restoring relationships. They are worth restoring because every relationship hold opportunities in greatness...

Be silent, and listen

What does it mean to wait, be silent , and listen?   Before I begin, I also be silent and think, whether this would bore you readers .....and then I continue XP  The words silent and listen are usually used in a parallel manner if you noticed. Doing these three things needs patience. There is always a time to be silent and a time to speak . One cannot listen if they are not silent. Sometimes, wisdom does not come from telling people what you know, showing them you are right, proving them wrong, later on to feel all high and mighty. Sometimes wisdom also means to be silent, hear them out, listen to all their wrongs and rights and taking it in. The right time will come to say the right words. Ever heard of.. ." It was the right thing to say, but wrong time to do it"? Yeah it is as you have read it. One can cause unfavourable damage if they keep speaking but on the other hand, one can lose opportunities when they become silent at times when they are needed to be heard. ...
