We are the Body? Where is the head?!

I guess it has been such a long time ever since school started that i havent blogged already..i guess its because i didn't think anyone will actually read them. But i didn't know that actually people DO read them. And i was quite amazed that my simple minded posts can actually touch lives. I guess whoever that read this, i hope that it will also serve as an encouragement for you to continue praying, continue seeking, continue reaching, continue doing what you have been doing in the past but may have lost the fire because you thought no one reads or listens. I guess it is the same as prayers. Why pray if no one is listening? Why speak to anyone if you assume they just don't listen or day dream? I guess we will never know who listens, who is not and stuff. We just got to continue doing what we are supposed to do and hold with a hope and believe that the things that we write and say can actually impact lives. If we don't do so, we lose the opportunity to even touch anyone's life or help anyone in any way.

This whole week as Tiffany Tay (my roommate in hall), play a song on her ipod into the speakers named as "If we are the body" by casting crowns. It serves as an encouragement for me as the song kept on playing in my head reminding me about our task and purpose on earth. My mother was sharing with me about what her pastor said once, "when we are young, we work to earn money and enjoy life, when we are old, we use the money to try out best to extend our life."
Isn't it true?
But i guess at the end of the day reality will still strike every single one.
No one is an exception.
No matter how well you live your life, how much money you earn, how many As and how you have impacted your company, every one will need to face one thing. Death.

My mother continued sharing with me about the 5 things that people would want in their life.
1) life
2) wealth
3) health
4) dying peacefully
5) i forgot.

But i believe there is one more thing that should be included into it. That is eternal life. As the chinese temple quotes once said....i translate it into english ah, "heaven's gates got road you don't wanna walk, hell's gates are forbidden and yet you wanna push your way through."
Sometimes i just don't understand as to why people don't wanna believe in Jesus Christ when he is the only one that guarantees a ticket to heaven. I mean, why don't people want to get to heaven after death but choose to go to hell instead.

And i was reading the Bible and it states in romans that how will people have faith to believe in Jesus Christ as the way and the solution for people to be saved is through others. It must be shared through others if not how will people know of this God? And who is going to share it if YOU don't share it?
I guess many will have the mindset that "ai ya, someone else will go and share about it to him/her de. or, he/she heard it before ler..there is no need for me to repeat and share again."
As the song, "if we are the body" states very clearly that we are the body of Christ. And Christ is the head. He is the one that directs and we are the ones that do the work. We are the ones that use our hand to pray, use our feet to travel and kneel, use our mouth to speak, use our heart to show our sincerity and surrender our heart to Jesus, use our body to dance..etc. Before you even talk about "other people will do the work", look at yourself first. Are you doing what you are supposed to do? Are you trying your best? Or are you just too lazy to do it.

God should be our head.
Our head means, the brain, the one who does the thinking, and we just obey and follow. Who are we to question a God who creates the heavens, the galaxies and everything around us whether what he is doing is right or wrong? Who are we to doubt his works? In the Bible it states that nothing can ever resemble Him, not even the skies or animals can describe and represent God.
Think about a pail and a droplet of water in it. Guess what, we are the drop of water. Something like that. Thats our size!
The problem lies as to whether we are willing to obey? whether we are willing to listen? Or we think that our functions as other body parts like the hands and legs can actually replace the functions of the brain?
If a body chooses to move around and do whatever it wants, won't it be disastrous?

Always rmb that we are the body and God is the head.
Where are we placing ourselves again?
Can we replace God?
If your ans is no, what are we doing about it? Stonning?
What are you waiting for?
Go and reach out, touch lives, share testimonies, be a good influence to the people out there. Live your life like Jesus's.
Jia you!

God loves you
