today can be said as a day which had a greatest impact on my life. went to church with sabrina and her friends. made a couple of new friends also. i didn't know that going to church is such a fun thing as this is the second time for me going to church.
the first time was when i went to jakarta for a " holiday ". the church people there, none of them i knew and most of them were adults. so i did not get to enjoy and feel the sense of belonging in church. but now, my mindset and thoughts have changed. all thanx to sabrina. A REALLY BIG THANK YOU! =)
the pastor's words really made a very great impact on me.
- the heart is a believing machine.
- listen and believe with your heart.
- do what your heart tells you and not your brain.
these words may seem simple and easy to understand, but they have a certain meaning to it. you love someone with all your heart, and not your brains right?.
the pastor also talked about insecurity. people who feel insecure are competitive and they do not know that they themselves have a value. you shouldn't let people or a particular system put a price tag on you. people like poh heng, those only know how to talk big and compare, are one example of people who are insecure.
cause if you feel secure, you know what's the value in you and you are contented with it. everyone is unique. and this so called value is actually called " intrinsic value ".
Don't let people ; systems or circumstances influence your estimation of your value.
the pastor then took an example of a diver, forgot his name. he won like alot of championships and as you know, diving is a very pressurising sport. just by the power of 1 sec can change the whole situation. then the reporter asked him : " what has made you succeed?. how did you manage to win so many championships?. "
guess how did he reply.. he said : " everytime before i lift myself from the board and taking a jump, i tell myself that, even if i blow my dive, my mother still loves me. "
what does this mean?. it means that even though you may be ugly, stupid, short or even having a pimplish face and everyone avoids you and leaves you in a corner to rot, you still have our parents who loves us the most. our parents gave us life. and God also loves us for who we are.
although there might be times when we screw our lives up and feel like giving up. God is there for us. He is there for us as we take our every step in our lives.
although is might be the second time i'm in church. i have indeed learnt alot.
