Patience my best friend in life

Patience? Do you seriously have the patience to bear with me the way I act? or the way I do things? Do you truly have the desire to wait and listen to the things that are about to happen? Or just want to get it done and off? What's next then?

Patience is something we need to have in us in regardless of age and gender, because it take great patience and endurance to get what want if we want it to grow in the long run. Whether its a particular event, person, business or relationships. Being patient truly makes the difference. Its always easy to say why don't I take this short cut? Wont it be easier and faster for me to gain what I want? Sometimes having the short cut does benefit us in the short run but in the long run NO. We will suffer the consequences one day. Its simple, when you don't really take the time to understand something and jump into conclusions, we under or  over estimate the situation and we would have missed out something greater.
No matter how well we think we are prepared for the situation without first any understanding of the situation, we will eventually fail. Because we didn't take the time to learn, to make the hard work into discovering the ways that can be taken. We thought it would be easy.

Really with patience comes wisdom, there is where we tackle our problem of falling down blind. When we are patient sometimes we can avoid trivial things which we fall into if we were hasty. When we have patience that's when faith kicks in. Faith to trust that God is in control and we are not to rush into things.

 Being patience do pay off when the timing is right, because God have provided this way for you.

Sometimes when we rush into a plan or an idea,without proper understanding we end up being frustrated and drained because we are striving for things we aren't really prepared for. In the end we burn out. When we have patience we draw a big picture for ourselves, we take time to place each piece of the puzzle. Yes time can be a factor but once you have grasp the understand and build the foundation its worth it. Because you know that you have given a good fight.

So being patience does pay off, we know nothing can mess with us because we have the knowledge and the faith in what we are doing whether it would be work skill or relationship. Naturally we will be confident because the foundation is already there.

 Having the passion is not enough when we don't have the heart to learn or the patience to learn, we feel troubled as we see the clock ticking, we see our friends ahead of us and where are we? We are always striving to achieve something in this life time.
What's better to have the wisdom of the life time gained or just a moment of fame that will last a few years then vanish in time.


Honestly, sometimes its not easy to see others over take us being better then us, making us feel left behind but when we are truly prepared and have passed through a certain time period of patience and having the understand what is need to be done, in the end those who we thought were ahead of us is now behind us because we took time to listen, to understand, to learn, to detail, and to gain the experiences. Imagine if we just rush into it, we already lost the battle before even it had began. The half of the war is only won by those who truly take the time to understand and plan.

Burning the Lost passion.

What is a passion? I believe all of us start that particular fire in our life due to a small spark or inspiration that ignites the dry torch in our heart. We get inspired because of something we heard or see people doing, in general it begins with an interest towards the world problems or a particular skill. From the beginning we seek and search the necessary resources, we build our passion with the knowledge and skill that is applicable to our passion. Passion sometimes means to suffer for something we believe in. That is one way we keep the fire burning.

Origin of  passion :Middle English: from Old French, from late Latin passio(n-) (chiefly a term in Christian theology), from Latin pati 'suffer'.

The passion that was once in our lives does take time to develop and grow but if left neglected that passion, that we once have in our lives can simply dies, because it wasn't developed or it was dampened by the waters of discourage. People around us pulls us down make fun of us or even preventing us to further this goal and dream, they even scorn us for thinking such a way.

Telling us we should follow that way, this way, the way that seems logical and more secure instead of what we want and dream of, not daring to see a change. They crush the very fabric of our passion. With all this we drown our passion because we want to please people more then ourselves, we pull down our confidence because we just want to fit in the community, we bury the passion in the mud of self-pity and self-loath, thinking we aren't good enough to be like that person. We start comparing ourselves to others and never achieving what we want because we aren't better than those around us or we lack of guidance and encouragement.

Yet again we go with the flow doing the things we don't really want to do. Thinking 'hey its a sacrifice I have to  make because money is the main goal, acceptance of others are more important to me, I am doing it for the better of my future.' then we live a long miserable life. A dream of another person and not ours. An idea of another instead ours.
End up we become more depress and purposeless because we strive for things which we weren't passionate about. We just do it for the sake of doing it.

But not every thing is lost just yet, because God has a plan for us, at the time we are at the weakest and hopeless, when we cry out for help and sees none. When we see there is no hope to life and our strength is all sap away. By His grace He sends His angel. We may not know who is it or when will it happen but when the time is right, suddenly someone comes up to you and knocks you on your head and tells you 'What the hell are you doing? Wasting your life away?' Then hands you a helping hand to pull you up from the steam of disappointment and the mud of meaningless. Then suddenly our eyes are opened the world we see today is different from the one we saw yesterday. Everything seems so a fresh and new.

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.

When we stand up and walk, we began to see the clear picture of our purpose in life. God continues to add on to us the people who will guide us to the direction.to cheer us on. The purpose and passion we once had and the damped torch that was once burning with fire, reignites, we eventually ignite a path for others being a light for others if we share the fire and passion that God had reignite in us. We have become someone different. As we grow further the light becomes brighter and brighter as  the fire in us burns more. When we see people suffering the same thing as we do. Do we put out their flame? Or help add the burning oil to their torch and  reignite the small flame into something big?

Pleasing man or God?

Mistakes... Some people cant accept our mistakes and some do... Are we all not human? Are we all not perfect? What is there to judge? Who are we when we judge others?

We may at times do better then others in a certain area. But does it give us the right over proud of ourselves or look down on others. No! We can be proud of our achievement but we must be humble to teach, and receive feedback. I too have been over proud of my own achievements that I forgot to give thanks to the one who gave me the ability to do it, and thinking it was my own works. I was humbled by God, He reminded me through my recent job experience.






James 4:6
New International Version (NIV) 

6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”


God made me realise my mistake and my response is to repent from having such proud thoughts of myself. It was an humbling experience for me. BECAUSE almost everything I do turns out wrong. I just did what I thought it was right. End up I was digging my own grave. Because all the things I did, I did not glorify God but instead glorified man.. This experience taught me a lot about setting expectations for yourself and others at the same time remember who to glorify in the end.

We aren't prefect but people expect us to be prefect. I did crossed the line between pleasing God and pleasing man... As the recent job goes, I discover my DARK side. God literary spoke to me through the scriptures in the bible! More of a website bible, which I stumble upon while searching for scriptures.








Galatians 1:10
English Standard Version (ESV)
10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.



This verse spoke to me.. Who am I trying to please? Man or God? God used my wife to tell me this as well. As I tell her my working day she would feel that I was treated unfairly.. And she realise that I was trying to meet my their expectations instead of God's. We can never please man, the fact is man will not always appreciate the works you do or even recognize your works! They do not understand you for who you are.

Romans 12:1-2
English Standard Version (ESV)
A Living Sacrifice
12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Our God is a God that knows our limit and he knows our capabilities. Which makes him the most understanding friend and father to us, because he made us! So maybe God's expectation is high and almost impossible to achieve due to the fact we are imperfect but the thing is he wont punish us when we fail because we have Jesus Christ on our side and he loves us too. When we fall he knows how to pick us up, encourage us, reminds us, and guide us, what our response should be is trusting in him! Jesus Christ was crucified and died for our sins, whose blood wasted away our sins and made us prefect in God's eyes. I pray that as you read you will be touched by God. Knowing that he is the only one that can provide peace and joy. He is my God, my redeemer and saviour Jesus Christ! Amen...


Philippians 4:13

New King James Version (NKJV)
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

What I realise

This few days i realise something that is i have been unappreciative towards my sis. And once u find out that she lost it you will soon see that its too late. But i praise God for his provision even thought we argued, and see was mad at me for being a jerk and also its because of the sin that was entangled in my life. Which is very destructive in nature. Sin can really take away everything from dignity to the form of relationships and even life its so potent that it would cause man to fall.

Realising this I have made a decision to give it up. its for the benefit of myself and also the benefit of my family. for God said in His word he cant tolerant sin so if i were to give it up God would be able to bless me more and is able to use me further for his kingdom. I believe he has a plan for me to take care of the young people i always have a passion for the youth.

He also showed me a vision that is a bean stalk that is growing in me a see he has planted is growing again. so it means i have to grow again
