Hey..Guys(including girls who are reading).. i sure 'MOST' of us attented the Youth service today.. right? Anyway, i sure at least 70% of you all hate school.. why? Some may ask.. the reason why >>I<< think we school is because of HOMEWORK, PROJECTS, EXAMS, TEACHERS, WAKING UP IN THE MORNING and EVEN FRIENDS as well. Just want to share my personal testimony, i used to hate school because of ALL that reasons above ^^^^^^
Ya.. and for the past 2 years in secondary school(having that perspective of thinking) i really suffered. And all these burdens i have, even caused pains and hurts to everyone around me, well in church i ALWAYS tell Matthew how much i hate school life when i see him. And in school the attitude was way worst then i could describe, and i really suffered in such a way that people started hating me. And the way they treated me was really really painful..
So during the holidays(2004), many people had been telling me from time to time again that i should change my prospective of thinking.. Well.. as most of those who REALLY REALLY know me well, will know i am super stubborn against studies. But just through a song and a verse it really changed my thinkings.
Before i review what happen, how many of us love God? Truely? It talks about us laying down our lives to God.. then followed by someone saying that, "If you are going to hate studies, you are actually hating your life, and if you are hate your life, it means you HATE GOD!"..i asked myself at that point of time, "Do i love God, Lord, JESUS?" Should i continue to hate studies and HATE JESUS, after all He has done on the Cross for me. And if God has place you and me here in Singapore, this means that we (yes you!) have a mission that has to be accomplished!
And we are so fortunated to have studies in Singapore and with many advanced technology in Singapore, countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and even China..these countries only allow a few children to study only! So let's give thanks for our lives in Singapore. And set a Christ-like example in school and let it be NOW! YES NOW! LETS NOT WAIT NOW ITS THE TIME!!! Also remember do your best and God will do the rest and also pray for yourselves to persevere and to give all your HOPES to Him and HIM ALONE!!! AMEN!!!
