THE Cell

i thought i'll write down something that i felt God telling me these past weeks - to be thankful. you might say, but i'm thankful for everything i have. i guess most people can say they are thankful for things, but how many of us ARE actually and genuinely thankful for everything we've have, our family, school, teachers, friends and all? and in life, everything really happens for a purpose, because afterall, our lives are in God's hands. nothing in life happens by chance, and in the end, although you may think the situation's hopeless, feel crushed or even on the verge of giving up your faith because you feel God hasnt been there for you when you needed Him the most, everything works out good for those who love Him. and its in sad times, trying moments where theres pain, hurt, guilt, regret, and all the unhappy emotions associated with it that we have to thank God, praise Him and seek Him all the more. because, how do we ever learn if we dont fail? how do we ever grow if we havent fallen? trying times only serve to make you stronger, and to prepare you for whatever's ahead. being thankful also means treasuring every single thing that you have, big or small. and being contended with the life God's given you and the people and situations that He has placed in your life. "comparison is the root to dissatisfaction" one of my teacher used to remind us way back in secondary school, which looking back, was a rather sound advice. often we compare ourselves with our friends, whos prettier, whos cooler, who has more friends, more tags, more happening life, more smses, whos smarter, whos taller and the list just goes on. but although comparison per se isnt a bad thing, more often that not, it leaves us feeling bitter, unhappy and resentful, against ourselves, the people and God. if you dont get anything i'm trying to say, its fine(: just remember, each and every one of you is special in God's eyes. dont have to compare, and remember to be thankful for everything, because you never know when you might leave this world, or when things you have been taking for granted will get robbed from you in an instant.

just a reminder, be at redhill mrt at 2.15pm this saturday!
have a great week!(:
