「 bouncing away 2:13 PM 」
Went for FOP yesterday. I felt like something was missing. Honestly, I was really looking forward to a renewing and an experiencing service. But hmm.. nothing of that sort happened. It might be the speaker, it might be the worship, it might even be myself. I really don't know. But something that I'm sure of, is that my heart is still searching. Searching very hard for something precious that is lost. And that is the fire and passion that I had for God. I really wanna renew that passion.

Oh. But I like one example which Dr Phil Pringle (a pastor from Christian City Church Australia) gave.

Imagine with me -

You are a parent and you have a little one. He/she grows up to a year old and starts to bug you with their squeeky little voice, pulling your dress or pants. You are the clever Singaporean and decide to give birth to another child.

Now, you have 2 kids and they're seated at the back seat of your car while you're driving. You decide to shut them up by droping by the Macdonalds' round the corner. You bought them a meal. The next thing you know, you find french fries on the younger one, with coke spilling from the cup. Again, you are the clever Singaporean and decides to give birth to yet another child.

This time, you have 3 children. They grow up and are seated at the back seat of the car with the youngest in the center. Once again, you drop by Macdonalds' and buy them a meal. There's silence in the car and you thought everything is going on well. But, when you looked into the rear view mirror, you see fries stuffed into the ear of your youngest child, hamburger smeared on his face, ketchup on his neck and shirt and coke dripping from the car seat.

Now, let's pause for a moment there. Let's see. The world has about 6.5 billion people.

We are all God's children, right? Yes, we are.

So let's imagine.

God is driving the car and the 6.5 billion children are seated at the back of his car, whining, pulling His pants and toying around. What does God do?


Learning points:
1) Always put yourselves in God's shoes and ask how or what He would do should something like this happen.
2) Don't complain/whine over small matters because God doesn't.
3) Treat others like how Jesus would.
4) Do to others what you want others to do to you.
