Matthew 7:14
"Because NARROW is the gate and DIFFICULT is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it"
was pondering about this just now when i was jogging.. it is so tough to walk in the path of righteousness.. no wonder the bible warns us that it is going to be narrow and difficult.. but everything is difficult until u find joy in it.. loving is a choice so loving God is a choice.. when u love, u do crazy things and nothing is impossible.. i remember in Jurong west days.. things were so simple.. love coming to church.. love taking train from tamp to boon lay.. love going overnight prayer meeting and cell group.. love serving.. love God.. knowledge and information has two faces.. one side makes people wise and effective.. another makes things complicated.. maybe that is why God ask Adam not to eat of the Tree of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil.. perhaps it was to protect Adam because he knows that when we know too much it might do us even more harm.. similarly when u know too much in church u become arrogant and complacent.. u think u have been there done that and u dont need anyone to tell you what to do.. PRIDE they call it.. i need to find back my first love.. simple first love for Jesus Christ.. where Jesus alone is enough..
