choices

Actually i wasn't really planning to go online today..
But God placed a word in my heart and i want to share it with you!
I was travelling home on 970 bus today from like queenstown library! Was like studying and colouring while waiting for leng shan!! then we went for dinner, talk and talk and talk=)
Ya! as i was saying, i was on the 970 bus...then right, i was reading the bible...then i saw this guy, he had short hair and wore the ear phone like to the back of the head...it looked like short hair and had a long strand of hair at the back (the ear phone wire)...
The more i look, the more i feel that it looks more and more like as if he was a robot and the wire is a power supply to the back of the head! it really really looked like that!! cause the wire was like so tightly stuck to the back of the head!!

Then i thought about what if the whole world is made of robots?
What if i am a robot and all other human beings are robots, being controlled and created by God?
Wah...as i thought about it, i think it will be real cool! but i would rather not have it that way..
Cause right, if we are robots, we cannot think for ourselves, love others using our heart like very sincerely, to have emotions...etc..there are so many so many things we cannot do...what we will be able to do is just to do the things that we are "programmed" to do.
Don't you think that will be like super sad?!!

I started to think about the reason why God did not want to create us as robots and to fix it like only one way and one direction in doing things..
Also, about the reason why God wants us to choose and gave us choices!
There was a talk held in CJC on tues for the j2s...and the speaker asked us.."Do you know what is soo different between human beings and animals?"
The answer is "human beings are able to make choices while animals cannot" Animals do not have the brains that we have...they do things mostly without thinking...but we do..thats why, we have the ability to make choices and God made us different in that way!

It is only through choices whereby true love can be found...
If you choose to accept God just because you are programmed to, it is not true love anymore...don't you think so?
God is a loving God and He really really wants to fellowship with us and to have a relationship with us!! Thats why alot of the things that He wants us to do..eg. to pray, is to really spend time and to bond with Him!!
Just think about it, He is God! He can like do all things by himself...and we know that His will will confirm be done on earth...there is no need for us to help him...
So right, the reason why we need to pray is because, God is holding back some of His power and things to wait for us to pray and interceed!!
In simple words, He just wants us to talk to him and have a relationship with him every single day! (i learn all these from like prayer and power night (pnp) last fri...hahaha=)

Anws, my uncle, non-christian, (studys the bible for like 25 years and then gave up cause he found no point in going on..), believes in any God that provides peace and the things that anyone needs..., once ask me "since you say your God is such a loving and compassionate God, how can He condemn those who made a mistake by not choosing Him? How can He condemn those whoes family background disallow one to believe, eg. my grandma, being in a buddist family all her life! Under the influence of buddism for her entire life and recieved healings, happiness and peace from it....
At that point of time i cannot really answer...but, now i can, because i finally found the answer that i wanted from Grace!!
She say that it is true that our God is a loving and compassionate God...but, He is also a just God! He is like a judge, although He may love us alot and aches to see us burning in Hell, but He have to do the right thing..He cannot go against his nature of being Just...

I dunno why but God kept on reminding me of something that rachel said during street evangelism last sun..
She said, " If you see a car coming. And it is like going to hit your friend or anyone else, you can only warn them, shout and ask them to move away...but, the choice is on whether the person want to move annot.."
It really encourages me alot as to the fact that i can do my very best and put in all my effort and strength to share the gospel and try to save someone...but, it all boils down to the choice of the person...

Tmr the prayer group is going to do campass evangelism already!! for all those who read this pls pls pray for God to touch their hearts and to interceed for the lost souls in school k!
Love you guys!!

God loves you!!
