Here today, gone tmr

Do you rmb the "who am i song" that i was sharing like a few post before?
Today i was singing it when i am bathing..
And i felt a sense sadness and it was kind of depressing..

I would like to focus on the first 2 lines of the song chorus, "I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow."

I am reminded again of how fragile life really is and how many are focusing on what can they gain from this earth...
I started to think of my studies...
Sure, many will say, studies is very important! cause you can get a good degree, then go university, then can get a good job, good pay, good life!
But is that what life is really all about?
Yes i agree that studies can help me gain survival and a easier life in future...
But besides wealth riches and all the material stuff, what else can we take or gain?
I can be the cleverest, smartest or even the riches person on the face of the earth, but is there anything beyond this that i can take?
so what if i got all these?
I realised that there is nothing to all these things..at the end of the day, all these things will mean nothing...
Nothing much will come out of it..
Thats why i cannot understand what the people are chasing it for..

Anws, i was also reminded about the story that kenneth (my regional leader) said today..
He told us about his friend's friend.
She committed suicide just recently..
Guess what, she is sec 2 (14 years of age)
She jumped down from the 4th story and didn't die immediately..
It was when she was sent to the hospital, on the way, she died of internal bleeding..

And kenneth's friend had been feeling very guilty about this matter because she didn't tell her about christ at all and she didn't know that she was facing problems.
She really regretted alot..

Someone gave a comment when the story was heard..."Huh? sec 2 only leh...how much suffering she have to go through? why is there a need to end her life?"

I started to think about the comment when i came home..
It is because that person has lost hope...
She has lost purpose in her life...even at such a young age..
She couldn't find anything on this worth on this earth that is worth living for..

you know, i ever felt that way before...
I will wake up in the morn and prepare for school and think about what am i doing all these for..

The reason why i am writing this is that i really want to encourage you all to keep this flame for God burning
Keep the passion of saving and sharing about God's word to the others burning always...
It may be difficult at times, fear may overwealm you and stop you..
Disappointments from all the rejections of your friends and family members may cause you to stumble and lose faith...thinking that it is kind of impossible and you have to wait for a long long time..
You may also think that someone else will do it for you...someone else will share the gospel in your place..

No matter what the reason may be, just remember that you will never know what is going to happen to the people around you..
You will never know when they will die, what they are facing and stuff...
When you share the gospel, you are actually providing hope to the person in despair and helplessness..
Don wait until it is too late...do it today...
But always rmb to pray and ask God to use the holy spirit to say what God wants to say to the people around you..because God always wants to save them more than you want them to be saved...
Lastly, learn to be patient...God has his perfect timing for them..
YOU can be one of the little chains that joins up and save the people around you...

God loves you always

hmmm tats really sad about the sec 2 girl...sigh...anyways ur post really reminded me of this song

"Meant To Live"

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live



hahaha yea xD, i guess we all have/had gone through times like these as well...part and parcel of life =) and at the end, for those hu make it, we will find wad we are really meant to live for =D.
