Light Of The World!

Last 2 Fridays on the 10th of May 2013,

I experienced yet another near-death experience.

It was a very hot afternoon and I was on my bicycle

making my way back to my office in a residential area right after lunch.

Ahead of me was a right turn, but I had no vision of the other side of the turn.

Without hesitation, I cycled at an average speed and turned right.

Within a glimpse of an eye I see a car speeding directly at my way.

It was moving so quickly that my body froze for a few seconds.

There was only one thing that was going through my mind:

"I'm dead."

Based on both our speed, there was no way I would survive.
Turning right would result in me hitting a car,
And turning left would result in me getting hit by the car sideways.

It was a definite collision and I should be flying sky high with my bike.

But miraculously, he stepped on his brake pedal hard and so did I.

We stopped right on the dot and had a head-to-head collision.

I held on to my bike tightly with my hands as it jumped a little on impact.

My heart was beating so fast I couldn't even say a word.

The driver came down, touched his car, swore at me and drove away.

I didn't respond to him, but just try to get my mind around what just happened.

My bicycle chain was all tangled up and I had to bring it to the workshop.

At the end of the day, a friend of mine fetched me home with my bike in the car.

After a few days, I got over it.

It was just a normal mini-accident where I didn't get hurt.

On the following Sunday, I attended a basketball court to record videos.

When the game was over, I had a conversation with one of the players.

After sharing with him my incident about the accident,
He wanted to know more about me.

So I also shared with him my past near-death experiences that I have gone through.

After listening to my stories, he looked really surprised.

He told me I must have a purpose here in life;

That if I were to survive so many times in life, that's not normal.

People who gone through one near-death experience change a lot.

So I thought hard about my major past experiences:

I was the victim of a robbery,

I went through an operation consciously and awake with no pain-killers,

I almost got hit by a truck on the road once,

And now the bicycle incident that almost costed me my life.

I was sure and concluded: that if my life didn't go away just yet;

God must be holding me and telling me through all these experiences:

That He has something great stored for me in my upcoming future!

I know that regardless of what comes my way,
I can walk ahead confidently; Because He's got my back.

So let this be an encouragement for you:

"To appreciate, cherish and treasure every moment of your life"

And always hold on to God (:
