The other day, I met S and J for lunch at our favourite
Yakinikuteh (Japanese hot plate) place. Work's been so busy,
hardly any time to meet up the usual suspects.
None of us had much sleep to begin with. I dont know if that
is sufficient to explain the following pictures.
and we came to talk about what they would want to achieve
before turning 30. And I thought to myself, "Phew, that's still
quite far away."
Teehee
And of course, they mentioned the normal things that I've
heard what most guys/girls would say; to own a house,
earn 5 figures, settle down, get married, own a BMW, but
amongst it all, there was the desire to be walking in the plans
that God had for them.
Then it triggered me.
"What if God's plan was never for all of us to achieve
what WE want before 30?"
What made us think that Blessing us equates to earning 5 figures?
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after
me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
25For whoever wants to save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever
loses his life for me will find it. 26What good will it be for a man
if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a
man give in exchange for his soul? 27For the Son of Man is going
to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will
reward each person according to what he has done.
(Matthew 16:24-27 NIV)
Just a thought. Perhaps another turning point in my life. Maybe
it'll help you get an extra fuzzy feeling this Christmas.
