EXTRA MILE


Christianity is not just religion or a form of faith. It is all about way of life. Christ came to earth not to create religion. He came all the way down to earth was to show the way of life, the true path that will lead humanity into total freedom, into the real life.

Today I’ll share a part of His teachings that you may apply to our life no matter are you believers or are you not believers.

"And if someone wants to sue you and to take your tunic, give him your coat also.
And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two." --Jesus Christ

In doing something to help others, He teaches us to give extra mile. Whenever somebody asks you to do something for them we are required to give more then they asked. If your mom asks you to wash your own dishes, you will wash your own dishes. However, 'extra mile' requires us to do more than just wash our own dishes. We wash all the dishes. Whenever your boss asks you to give report on the end of the day, excellent workers will give the report on the mid-day.

All is done without expecting something in return. Extra mile is done sincerely. Simply it is the ethos of Excellency. Giving the best to everyone no matter who they are, and doing so without expecting something in return.

Let's give more than ask more. It is better to give than to receive.

You Are Equipped

Cheetah is natural born predator. They has everything they need to hunt and to kill. God is the perfect creator! He thinks far beyond any man's could ever think off. He equips each of his creation for the destiny He designated. He equips the gecko with the feet to climb wall. He equips the fly with wings to fly. These wings seem too small, yet it is enough to carry on their destiny.
We born for a reason. Every cells and every parts of our life are meant to fulfill our purpose, to fulfill our destiny. No one is less equipped. We are equipped. However some times these resources are hidden deep within us. They require digging. They need to be found. Whenever you feel unable to do task He gives, don't you be worry. Be a warrior! take time to find the weapon that He already gave on the day you born on this earth.
YOU ARE EQUIPPED!

Worship


My daughter is three months old. She can’t speak a word yet. However she can produce various voice tones. We call it blabbering. Each voice doesn’t stand for any meaning. Yet it seems she enjoys it either do I. These voices are the sounds that I yearn to hear. With these un-meaningful blabber words, she tries to communicate with me. It is not the words we exchange, nor the sentence. I don’t understand her codes of communication just as she might not understand my words. However, each time we ‘talk’, it seems we understand each other. The bond between us is getting deeper.

As we worship God, He doesn’t measure our worship through His standard of perfection. Our voice might just out of tones. Or whatever you do for Him fails His standard. But He is God the Father. It is not absolute state that we have to perfectly worship Him. He already has the angels who always worship Him in heaven. As Father, He wants to bond us in relationship. Each time a song sings through our heart and lifts up for him, He is pleased. It is not a matter of how good you sing, or how you perfectly done His calling. Every single time we do these ‘blabbering’, God understands your heart. As my eyes and my daughter’s ayes collide. We see each other and sometimes without word or her blabbering. And yet we smile together.

Worship is a matter connecting our hearts to His heart beyond songs and beyond things we done for Him.
