Let me share with you something dear readers.
This is not something I aim to brag about, nor to talk about how great I was. In fact, these are written so that you will understand something.
I have been through near life and death situations. I have been through an operation which I had to stay awake the whole duration and suffer the immense pain. I have been through an ambush where people holding long 'parangs' which are blades which could have chopped right through me. I have been through situations where I really feel as if it was pointless to continue to live on. During that night where my friends and I were attacked by 'Mat Rempits' which are deadly merciless people, I wondered why was I the one who was not caught by them. Why did my friend had to be caught and get slashes on so many parts of his body. He had to go through all the stitching and I was just unhurt at all. And there it goes, I had another chance to live. During my operation, I could have been literally dead. I almost died, but yet I didn't. The doctors could have messed up during the operation because I was screaming and crying and trying to make my body get away from the operation bed. But there I was enduring the critical pain, as they use sharp tools to cut into my flesh and inserted a tube to extract my blood out. And there it goes, I had another chance to live.
Often at times, I ask myself, why did I had so many chances to live. I could have just died years ago, but I'm still here living. As I adjusted the angle of my view from the worldly things to God, I realized why. It ain't about how great I was, it ain't about how tough my body was at enduring all the hard conditions in my life. It wasn't even about accidents that gave me chances to live. No, it wasn't all that. It was this SPECIAL SOMEONE who told me that He will be by my side during all seasons which was GOD!!! He was there as I was on the surgery bed getting operated, He was looking at me and crying too and telling me "I've got good plans for you Kheng, I am gonna have to teach you something now, I hope you will learn it well and use it for your testimony." And here I am giving my testimonies for the world to read and believe that this God that I worship ain't fake, but instead it is FOR REAL! During the night when the 2 motorbikes arrived in front of my friends and I, they caught my friend but they pushed me to the ground and allowed me to fled away. It wasn't about the courage I had that made them left me, it wasn't about me being so powerful that they left me and slashed my friend. But, it was God's AMAZING GRACE that protected me from them.
Time to time I ask myself, what else is there left for me to do now? Why is He still keeping me here? What is the goal in my life after going through these traumatic experiences? And the Bible lets me know, it's doing HIS WORK! Not just studying and working and doing the things of this world. Everybody can do that of course, and many people have put their future into jeopardy because they have cared too much about the worldly things. My goodness, imagine if we could transform all our time that we invested into worldly things and make use of them to do HIS WORK!! That would be having the greatest point to live for in life, which is LIVING FOR GOD!! Jesus has died for us, He has completed the work and saved us from eternal destruction. During the JUDGEMENT DAY, many books will be opened and all of us, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US FROM THE LIVING TO THE DEAD WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO EVERY ACTIONS WE HAVE DONE DOWN BELOW EARTH!! Thinking of this, it makes me scared to know I have done many mistakes in my life and initiated many wrong actions in my life. I have messed up many things and I am a real dirty criminal. But I know at the end of the day, SOMEONE SPECIAL is waiting at the end of the road calling to me. The voice is saying "Hey you, get up and start walking again! You might have fallen down, and you probably fell hard in doing so. But just know one thing my child, you are very special to me, so don't give up on me as I have never and will never give up on you! I will be at the end of the road waiting for you! If you don't know which path to take in life to reach me at the end of the road, ask the Holy Spirit for He will guide you! Just allow me to come into your heart, let me heal you, I am gonna make you a great person from the inside out! Despite all the disadvantages and weaknessess and regardless of the mistakes you have made in life, I will accept you wherever you are! Come my child, walk the path of life and never regret a day as I will be by your side, keep walking to me! Wait as long as you can with the strength you have, I will return very soon =)" And this encourages me that no matter how bad life can be, yes life can just go away and your life can be gone in a flash. But if you're walking in the path of light, there is nothing to worry because HOPE is there for us my brothers and sisters!!
I encourage you to continue walk in the path of light! Keep fighting the good fight of the faith!!! HOLD ON THERE!!! Life is precious, and ETERNAL LIFE IS EVEN MORE PRECIOUS!! So stay strong and keep praying! Rely on the LORD in everything!! Even when it comes to work, studies, business or even family, let GOD be the head!! It's not a 100% easy road, but it's definitely the best road to take in a world of ours!! Heads up, chin up, and walk directly towards God's paths! You can do it with the help of Christ who strengthens you which is the help of the Holy Spirit!! =)
Good night dear readers, have a nice day and remember to PRAY ALWAYS =)
