It is really amazing how the simplest verses which you hear over and over again can suddenly dawn on you and give you ENLIGHTENMENT (oooooo MuFaSAAAA)!
VERSE 1. Christ came so that you can live life and live life abundant
VERSE 2. Phil 1:21 To live is to live like Christ
VERSE 3. Eph 6:2-3 “Honor your father and mother”-which is the first commandment with a promise-“that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth”
(Repeated in Ex 20:12, Dt 5:16, Mt 15:4)
Lee Nian Ning passed away. Never knew her. But she was a great person, everyone said so. Could’ve easily been me or you, her. Life is so fragile. Lets eat, drink and be merry and bungee jump and sky dive and power boat and snake hunt and the 10398273498713 must dos before we die.
Dudes, we’d probably shorten our lives instead and end up paupers. Not a way to live a fulfilled life eh? So how? Stop complaining.
P never liked C and showed it. Realized he was being an ass so apologized and was happy after that. C never really noticed or bothered actually but was happy after that.
By apologizing, P has impacted C’s life, has made his life and C’s more abundant. He has become more Christ-like. Because to live is to live like Christ and Christ lived and wanted us to live abundantly.
Pissed of with D for quite a while, told mum about it. Mums words of wisdom made so much sense and negative feelings that have accumulated are gone.
I have honored my mum- I will live long long.
Equation/ Formula/Revelation:
The thought that life could be taken away any moment is just shit. If I died like tomorrow, I’d want to leave a good vibe/atmosphere/feeling thing behind. Because, lets face it, not everyone can go to the people they love in dreams and tell them they are sorry for something they did and that they love them.
So I will leave that good vibe/atmosphere/feeling thing behind. I will stop complaining. I will be slow to anger. I will say sorry and by doing so impact lives making it more abundant-creating a chain reaction. I will listen to my parents.
And that way I will LIVE. And live LONG. Long not in years, but in ABUNDANCE and quality.
I have become CHRIST LIKE***.
Do you see? Do you see? Do you see what I’m saying? Or what im trying to say? Do you see the equation? Do you understand the formula? Because, if you don’t, I WILL MAKE YOU SEE. Call me! Take me out to lunch! I want to make you see my revelation.
And no, I wasn’t sitting under a tree, no, I wasn’t hiding out in a cave keeping the bats company and god, NO, I wasn’t fasting for 40 days and 40 nights for crying out loud (dudesss, I couldn’t possibly survive that long without bak eu poh) when I came up with this.
*** for the longest time I thought that to be Christ like was to be all holy and oh-so-good. I guess I was wrong. JJ
Living abundantly,
PS

I know what you mean. I get it. I wanna leave my 2 cents ^.^
I dono...but this "AHHHH! REVELATION!" feeling tends to come and go for me. Some experiences/thoughts leaves an impact after that, of course, but the intensity dies down... I (we?) gradually just go back into the "trance" - if that makes sense.
Miss ya pei!
