thoughts for the day

hi fellow BFC!! haha. actually i've been eager to post here for quite awhile even though it is not my turn yet, but i guess it should be okay yeah? if not our cell's blog would be quite dead, and perhaps some regulars may feel quite dull after seeing the same old post everytime they come with certain anticipation for new posts.

hmm, to start off, firstly would like to thank the whole cell, for making effort to come for the cell bonding, also i felt that we are able to get along very well with each other, and with newcomers! i thought that if i was a newcomer, i would feel very comfortable, and would be able to blend in with the cell well!

also, to of course thank God, for giving us different people of different personality type in our cell, yeah and i guess that complimented each other and that definitely spurred each other to become better, to be motivated to self-improve!

i thought our last cell bonding was quite fun, even though i'm having all the body aches. but i thought, maybe we kind of left our God yeah? haha. that's for how i feel. so perhaps the next time we have another bonding, we would try perhaps to include God more, like perhaps to pray more.

so before i end my post, i though i would share the devotion that i wanted to share last sat but i forgotten to do so. hmm.

i read about the methods used by eskimos to trap wolves. so one very interesting method the use, is to coat the blade of a razor-sharp knife with blood. (those of animals) and they would froze the blood everytime they coat it and make several layers. so what they do is to place it somewhere prominent and stick it upwards with the blade in the open, and leave it there.

so eventually the hungry wolves would smell the blood from afar and attempt to lick it. after the first lick, the hungry wolves would lick it faster and faster and they would not realise that actually the layers of blood has melted and they are actually licking on their own blood when the knife slit their tongue. so after a while the wolf will feel weak after it loses alot of blood and eventually die.

so how can this apply in our lives? this story illustrates how sins work into our lives. when we commit a sin, we may just brush it off thinking it is just a small thing. but we dont know that actually that small sinthat we do not feel remorseful, not repent and ask for forgiveness, is the first step that we take towards self-destruction. and that is very true! alot of us may feel that a small lie would not hurt, or cause disastrous consequences, but we do not realise that it is the first step that we take which eventually lead us to big sins, and it would ruin us.

so fellow BFC, maybe it would help to be accountable with each other, and i encourage you all to share your struggles in life, big or small, during cell discussion. and that would help us to be more conscious of what we have been doing, and we can ask for forgiveness from God.

i felt that this story is very true, because i have experienced it before. sins comes in the most subtle way you can imagine, and it can bring you down before you even realise it, even if you do, it would be too late by then. but our God is good, He is graceful to all of us. whether big or small sins, He would forgive us if we repent. and he would RESTORE us to the ORIGINAL positions we were in before we commit our sins. this is taken from a verse that i was told of, but not sure what it is.

hope it helps =)
