Contentment and interconnectedness!

There is no major inspiration that i have..
Today, i will just like to talk about contentment....

When the O lvl results are being released yesterday, there are many tears of joy and sadness..
People cry over the results they get because they worked so hard for it...
As long as they they get a result that is different from their expectations, people will react so greatly on it...
I had once cried so badly for it too...
Being someone who had gone through all these, i stepped back and took a larger glance at the picture...
Year after year, people take PSLE, O lvls and As,
People cry and laugh over it...
People compare results and realise that they didn't do as well or even did very badly even though it may not be the case..

I realised how many of the times when we are really happy, we tend to forget about God and think that we achieved this results is based on our own strength not on God!
We fail to rmb those times whereby God lend us a helping hand for the process...
Also, when we are sad, we blame it on God for letting it happen...
We blame him for not letting and granting us with what we want...

I think that we should really place our trust in God cause he is far sighted and what we see is things that are only right infront of us...
We do not have the ability to find out what is going to happen before it happens...
So, we need to rely on God even more! make sense?

I feel that since we cannot change the score and God gave that particular score to you, one should be contented with what we have..
It is the same as the air that we breathe, the plants that we have, the weather,people who love us..etc.
These are all given by the grace of God!
We cannot change the weather to suit us or change the people around us..etc..
We should really be contented with what we have..
Sometimes i do fail to be contented...
I only am after i lose that particular thing or person...

There are somethings that we cannot change, we can only accept..
So, accept it with joy!
Because no matter how much achievements you get, there is always a way..
And if you are willing to place your trust in God,
God can make the disasters right to do his will on earth!
Besides, studies is not everything that one should focus on...even though it is percieved to be SUPER important in this society...
I feel that studies is important..but it shouldn't come inbetween friends or even family members...
It shouldn't be something that creates conflicts and breaks people up!
Relationships between people are important! More important than paper and ink...
Just wanna tell everyone that no matter where you are or where you are about to go, as long as you are willing to let go and trust in God, you will find success, happiness and joy in whatever you are doing one day!
One day, when you look back at how God has walked you through, you will find out that everything is within God's plan and it is still within his control..
Jia you!

Another thing that i wanna say is that i am really glad to know that there are so many christians all over the world that are looking out for each other!
It is like people uses the internet to communicate and get to know each other, but, christian uses prayer! Cool right?!
Anws, i just recieved a book in an envelope like yesterday...and when i open it i realise it was a christian book on "Revolution in world missions"!
It shocked me cause i remembered that i once chanced upon this website whereby they offer free christian book and i just anyhow type in my address and stuff!
Never knew that they will send the book all the way from America! and even had a letter!
I feel so at home!!
Last sun, our church invited like christians from many countries to come together and sing Christian songs in different languages and stuff, i realised that as long as the people of God come together and sing praises to God, no matter what language and in what country, i feel so at home and real happy! Cause they all speak the same language!

Just type free christian books in yahoo or google and you will find many websites giving free books!
Our God is a really generous God who is willing to reach out even to those who cannot afford the books and to spend money to help people grow spiritually!!

God unconditionally loves you!
