Relationship preceeds....

Its been a long time since i came in here to write sth. So much so that i almost forgot my own password! :)

Anyway, i realised that i have been thinking a lot a lot a lot for the whole of 2007 (3rd quarter of the yr) til now... Probably its part of everyone's growing up period bah... Thinking abt my life, abt my ministry, abt my family, work, etc....

I loved what Pst Abraham Ku said before (in chinese, but i will translate into Eng) " Some people are good in makijng things work, but they arent good in making friends." I think its TRUE. To me, its good that one is capable, in fact that is what God wants us to do, to use the talents He has given and out of it come forth sth that is productive. This is to work and be capable in working. But to Him, relationship preceeds many areas too. Whats the use of working so hard and achieving so much success, when at the end of it, you dont have time to make frends, no time to spend with your loved ones, etc... You will grow to be lonely and die lonely too.

I dont want to be like this. I want to work the best that i can, but yet at the same time, sowing into r/s that i know will work out and are worthy to invest my time and effort in.

Thru out the yrs, i have learnt to be sensitive to ppls' needs, to try to help as much as me and Mk can. Even if no one knows, that is totally fine. As long as God knows, we are satisfied alrdy. :)

To family : i used to go out really a lot and thus neglecting my own family. But now i want a balance. To spend time with family, and also diff gp of frens.

To friends : there will always be ppl that arent appreciative to you at all. So for me, i just do my best to help them. Once i feel that i have helped to the best that i can, i will allow God to come in to do the rest!. :) No need to always expect exactly the same level of effort ppl will sow back into your life, becos this world is not fair and there will always be ppl that dont treat you FAIR. Smile my fren.. just smile... :)

To God : Being a Christian for almost 15 yrs, i must not let myself be so comfy with where i am. Its no good. I should keep on moving up in God. And i realised that there were too many times i listened to myself, but yet thinking that its from God. I should and want to learn to really discern and listen to Him. Only when Daddy said "ok", then i will do. If not, i better stay put! :) I want to move in greater intimacy with God in 2009. It will not just be praying for sake of praying, but rather, talking to Him and listening to Him wherever i am, whatever i am doing! :)Walking to MRT, poo-ing in toilet (GRIN), replying emails, ordering new stocks for PL, etc....I wanna talk to Him. I wanna listen to Him talk too! :)

So if God wants to fellowship with us, this shows that r/s is BERI impt, thus why should we think that we have succeeded just becos we think we are capable?? In the 1st place, your ability isnt from yourself, its from Abba Father, so stop thinking that you very capable, stop thinking that you are very talented by your own strength. Relationship precceds many...........

Its time to build on this... Trust me lah.. :)
