wake up call.

'Even if this world is corrupted. i shall die alone, holding on to what i know is right.
keep me with You, i dont want to drift away.'

This was posted on nov 09. 4 months have just passed. are you still holding on to what you know is right? have you drifted away ?

Here are somethings that i told myself i would never do.
i would say:

• i would never be bribed, even if a million dollars is right infront of my face
• i would never cheat on my bf/gf/spouse.
• i would never smoke cause i hate smoking
• i would never kill for revenge
• premarital sex would never happen to me
• drugs would never get into my life
  

i thought i was invulnerable. i thought these things wont ever happen to me. but i have come to a conclusion:

dont tell yourself that things would never happen to you if you were never in their shoes. even solomon, david and saul fell to temptation. what are you compared to them ?

do you think that you are the only soul out there that is able to withstand the temptations of the world? or do you think that you are the sharpest tool in the shed that is waiting to be discovered ?

please. do not be so full of yourself just yet. we might fall into any of the temptations above if careless. there is no definite good guys or bad guys. good guys placed in the bad guy's shoes might turn into a bad guy. vice versa. therefore, if you are put into an ex convict's shoes, you might commit the sins that you once said you would never do. humans are sinful by nature. if adam and eve cannot hold themselves from eating the apple, neither can you.

'even if this world is corrupted. i shall die alone, holding on to what i know is right. keep me with You, i dont want to drift away.'

it isn't as easy as i thought it was. wake up call clarice. press on! mingkang chuan dao once said in a sermon, "dont try! sure die!". most awesome statement made. now i fully understand. do not give satan any chance to pull you away from God. don't risk it. cause you will SURE DIE.

do not judge people's sins, because only God is capable of doing so as he is perfect. our knowledge is partial therefore our judgement is partial too. do not look down on people cause you might be one of them. do not hate anyone for their mistakes because their mistakes could be yours too.

life's lessons indeed. but am i able to do what i just typed above? no i can't. because i am nothing without God. but with Him, i can do everything.
