My Blog

Have you ever felt sometimes you need to let go of some things? When i was young, the most difficult to let go, is the desire to get the toys i want. I would cry big time at the shopping centre hoping that my parents would buy me that particular toy. Well, many times it did not go my way. Then as we grow up, we realized it more than toys… sometimes it could be things that we treasure and possessed for the longest time. I think the most difficult part being a Christian is learning to submit and allow God to take away my treasured possessions. I was doing my tawg and the Holy Spirit reminded me this verse, where your heart is, there will also lay your treasure. In other words, God was asking me do you trust me enough to give your treasured things and allow me to work at it and allow your heart to be possessed by only God alone.

Many times, i thought i have given up then i realized i have not. Maybe it can get a little tiring. it’s like u know it but then your feeling tells you other wise but i think that is a process of growing and understand God’s bigger plan for my life.

As you read my blog, what are the things you treasuring and you feel God is calling you to give up? Sometimes, it can be as simple as giving up playing certain games that takes away your time in spending God to Friends you love to people who are close to you but knowing that it would be better to watch from afar.

Life is full of surprises, many times things does not last long but one thing for sure, God’s plan and love for you and I is eternal. Got to remind myself everyday as i allow the Master to take my treasures one by one.

Love you all, PGC

Recently i was thinking through about my younger days in my christian faith. As i looked back, one of the most difficult times in my journey with God is sometimes growing without friends. Like it or not, we all go through changes in life. Sometimes due to unexpected changes in church, school that catches us unaware.

Often when we lose our friends, we lose our direction. Now Friends are important in our growing up with God. But sometimes God puts us in a position where we will learn to grow our faith in him alone. The hardest for me was i could not find anyone i could really share. Sure i have friends i could play with, joke with but i just could not find friends to share my problem. Probably, i was not sure they are my type of friends i want to share and sometimes i would think that if i share, would they be gone in a few months time? Afterall, we all our best friends forever right? 

So i went in this wilderness of trying to run my faith. It was really a big struggle. i was trying to make sense of everything. Sometimes, i would think God was bad by trying to ‘trap’ me into putting my faith in Him. But i guess after much struggle, i just told God..ok God… i am tired of keeping asking for friends.. ok.. u tell me what to do!!! Then God in his gentle whisper told me in your best and worst time, i will be there for you.. when you call upon my name, when you fix your eyes on me, i will be there to lift you up.

I begin to realize this truth as i looked back over the years. Ever since God spoke that into my heart, i realized that through the down times, i have learnt to lean on God, fix my eyes on God.

Sometimes we dun understand why God take our friends away but you know what? When that happens, dun react immediately, learn to place it before God and ask Him, what does he want in your life? Be sure He is preparing you for greater things.

So the next question is so does God still give us friends?

Yes… in fact, when we learn to fix our eyes on God, trust in God totally,two things will happen: 1. You will know what type of friends to choose 2. God will lead you to the right friends.

Bible says, Brothers are born in the face of adversity. i am proud to share with you that in my life i know i have some ‘brothers’ when called upon, will be there for me and i am sure you want that too.

So don’t get frustrated, angry but trust God to give you best friends in your life. When you feel alone in the journey of faith, God is waiting to hold your hand to walk with you.

God Bless, Love PGC
