Not of This World

the computer's been down for quite some time, the RAM has frazzled out; finally it works proper today, and amidst the exam stress, this time is for encouragement, online encouragement. and a fitting reminder. yes rather than post on my rather sad orange-clad blog, i chose today to divert the (much-needed) attention to this FireAC powerhouse, this blog of testimony and of encouragement (:

we are aliens in this world. somewhere in the bible, in the first sentence of Peter's letters, he writes that this place isn't our home. and yet so often, how often, we get attached to it, and we start to rely on it for joy and for strength and for sustenance. we get carried away with life, with the pursuits of life, with (horrors of horrors) work; why?

how often, do we take tomorrow for granted? plenty (have a look):

"let's meet up tomorrow to study at ______!"

"not free? it's ok, we'll adjourn the meeting to this saturday..."

"see you tomorrow! (:"

"biology (or whatever worries you), aiya, can be left for next week. no matter"

and what if tomorrow never came? wonder, what would God find us doing when He returns?

indeed. always set our minds on things above. as Term 3 comes around, let's remember our mission here on earth - to be envoys, tarrying with this message of blessing - this MESSAGE OF LIFE! there's so much to do before with leave, with so many more who may believe. and get this, our final mission will never fail, because Jesus has already overcome the world. (:

there will be (hopefully be (: ) opposition, but be encouraged. and people always tell me that tim you're rather condescending the way you talk - you think you're so great, so whatever, perfect life, perfect grades, perfect everything, go away, you wouldn't understand, think you can help 'fix' me? go away - but you know, that's never true, and all at FireAC, every one of us, are ever so weak, there's no perfection in humanness, it's all God's work

behind every seemingly perfect person, there's a story of sin, and a story of grace (: grace my dear friends (:

so be encouraged. and do well for the exams to glorify Him! Term 3 beckons. Now Flame On! *punches fists in the air with glee* (this i learned from a certain someone (: )



In the Faith of Jesus Christ,
