before getting back to my work, i shall blog down my chain of thoughts. today, as i was running 5km along the high way, i learnt an important value of being selfless. God just somehow reminds me that nothing on earth will last. Secular achievements are just temporal trademarks to make us content. but at the end of the day, where can the string of distinctions bring us too? Yes, it may allow us to go to a local university which is everyone’s dream. But so..? after entering the local uni, you’re gonna continue the mugging adventure still. what really counts when you step out into the society is, character.
I once asked myself whether i have that faith to surrender things that i treasure a lot to God. But nah, i doubted myself once or twice. You know, whenever the image of how Jesus died on the cross for us floats in my mind, i feel a sense of guilt. i questioned myself whether i were have the courage to do the same thing as what Jesus did. but nah, i am unable to persuade myself to do such a sacrificial act. After a deeper thought, i concluded that i can never reach Jesus’s standard in how sacrificial and loving He is.
Today, i want to learn to be selfless and surrender whatever things i have to God. it is never about what i want. It’s about what’s beneficial to His kingdom, at the end of the day.
