Last Sunday, a girl wept in front of me.
“Are you ok?”
She remained silent for a long period.
Touching her head, and encouraging her,
“Girl, you will be fine, ok?”
“I don’t think I can be able to finish my final project. It is very important. I am much stressed..”
After saying that, I felt her heart was full of pressure. I can understand why she felt that. That is her last year of college study. No matter what, she needs to get her degree by the end of this year.
“Well, tell me what you are stuck in project. Perhaps I can guide you and give you some advice. I used to study in college before. At least I know how to do a project.”
“I also don’t know. I just can’t do it. I am scared.”
“Don’t think like that. Ok? We still can pray. God will not leave you forsaken. Ask God to give you wisdom. Well, if you need me to help you, just give me a call. I will show you the way.”
She nodded her head, tears kept rolling down her cheek.
Last Monday, I SMS her, “So how is your assignment going on?”
“I am glad that the teacher is willing to give me some comments on how to do the project.”
“GREAT! So you know where you are going now? You started your project already?”
“Ya! Thanks for encouraging and praying for me. Now I know where to start. I will finish it!”
Readers, this is the life which we are facing all the times. Human beings are weird. Before we start to do anything, we always doubt. We always give lots of stupid excuses “What if..? What if…?” We always say “This is hard!” or “I guess this is risky.” We even suspect our own strength whether we can do it or not. Many people love to say, “I don’t know. I don’t know.” so that they can avoid themselves from facing their life issues. Not only ridiculous, This is STUPIDITY too.
Hello! There are many of our things which are left undone. Many people choose to leave it and never dare to face it. All they know is stuck there and doing nothing. People always love to give reasons which will hinder them from reaching their own goal. In the end, when the matter is over, they will start to say something stupid.
However, take a look at this girl. After prayer and encouragement, she woke up from chaos. What did she do? Of course, God is with her, helping her. But she also ACTS! She went to find her lecturer. And now she is very happy. She even gains confidence in what she needs to do. The joyous thing is...
she said, “I will finish it!”
As for me, will I leave God’s vision which is given to me undone? Will I abandon my goal and my desire which bring greater glory of God? Will I choose to give excuses and run away from it? Will I say, "I don't know what to do. I feel like I wanna give up."?
Absolutely NO!
I tell you this, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I will conquer my dream.
Psalms 37:5
"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:"
“Transformers 2” is really a good movie. I am a person who loves to see the animated actions. I believe it is because I am also a kind of “multimedia” guy. I kept wondering how the video editor managed to make the animation so wonderfully. It is very impressive.
I watched it with a group of Christians. Some said it was very boring; some say it was terrific. Well, different people, different taste.
To me, 5 stars for this movie.
Readers, we can learn one thing from this movie – Pursue of vision. Optimus Prime chose his path to protect the humans. That was his vision. When Sam made a wrong decision, it, in fact, turned the whole situation into the worst scenario. Optimus Prime was destroyed just because he wanted to save Sam. Did he know he will be destroyed? Did he know he will be revived again? Did he know that he will rise and the enemy falls?
All he knew is that he pursued his own vision. Even when the human leader asked the Autobots to leave the earth, Optimus Prime still chose to stay; he did not listen to the human leader. Though he was rejected and discouraged, he still stayed strong in his own vision. “What if you are wrong, when we leave?” Frankly speaking, many people will easily give up on their goals when some people started to say something and decide on their future.
This is very true. After our decision was final, we do not know what kind of consequence we will face. We cannot see our future. However, we must believe in faith that we made a right decision, and there is no turning back. People always choose our life path for us. People will say, “This is good for you," or "That is good for you.”
Is that what you want? I was thinking,
“Aren’t we supposed to decide our path by ourselves, instead of others choosing for us?”
Readers, our life is in God’s hand. However, it is also in our hands. We always say, “Let God guide us.” and live dully after that. In fact, we did not let God handle our life. It is the people around us who make the decisions for us. God wants us to plan for our future. He has given us a vision. And this vision is God’s plan for us. Not everyone will agree with your vision, only you yourself and God will understand. When we are ready to claim His vision, He will promise to fulfill what He has given us. But,
do you dare to step out the challenge and claim His promise? Or you would follow what the people choose for you?
I believe those who read this post will understand what I am trying to say. I am not promoting LAWLESSNESS. Do not do anything which sins against God. That’s never God’s vision for you. Pray to Holy Spirit and God will reveal His ultimate purpose for you in your life. Your vision should not contradict the Scriptures. Jesus Christ teaches us that whatever the Father told Him to do, He will do.
God has given me a vision. And I have promised God that I will do it. I wanna claim my vision from God. I wanna be successful. I wanna be famous. I do not want to be ordinary person. I do not wanna to be a guy who does his same task daily. This is meaningless to me. I am ready to face the world. I know people will not understand and they will think I choose my path wrongly. However, they will understand me one day. One day, they will see the Glory of God.
No doubt, this is my goal.
God will lift me up. Raise me up, God.
Acts 2:17
" 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."
