3 Wishes

By -
Last night, I watched "Aladdin" on Disney Channel with my little cousin. (I put "with my little cousin" just to give myself an excuse to watch cartoons, haha!) I guess most of you watched "Aladdin" before. Frankly, I was a big fan of "Aladdin" since I was young. Especially the love songs and the magics that the Genie does.

It was all about the fun watching it when I was young, but it all get so different when I have grown up. You know, as our mental begins to develop to be more mature, somehow fairy tales might give you more values than you get when you were young, no matter good or bad.

I ask you a question, don't talk about Genie, God is more powerful than he is, if you are granted 3 wishes, what will it be?

Most answers are, unlimited riches, hot wives and concubines, world peace, good health, no evil in the world (and three more wishes, haha!). Wishes are wishes, I can't judge whether these wishes are good or bad, only God can.

I asked myself this question a several time, thinking which wishes of mine is the best. Then I said, a place in Heaven. I thought I had a wish, but it wasn't after all. I thought about it a several times, one conclusion: I wasted a wish.

Why would you wish for something given to you for free?! God gave us His Son, had Him died on the cross and raised from the dead, by this way, we are offered a place in Heaven as long as we believe in Jesus, turn to Jesus and surrender ourselves to Jesus.

All these are prepared so you would come and turn to Jesus. I don't even have to risk my life into that mystic cave, grab hold of that magic lamp and take some effort to rub the lamp! All I need to do is just:"Believe in Jesus and say sorry to Him!"

You choose, to risk your life for that "Magic Lamp", which might cost your life, or simply believe in Jesus, who will grant you life for eternity.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 5. Project Kwam Wang - Sabaidee, Laos! I don't think I can ever say this enough: Laos is an unforgettable nation, mainly because of the unforgettable journey that God had taken me through. The initial idea was to paint a school building in Vientiane, but imagine our shock when the team saw a building with 2-walled rooms. Instead of complaining, the team quickly came together to lay bricks and cement. 5 days later, we have classrooms with 4 walls and whole school of happy children. The highlight of the trip came later. To catch our flight in Lua Prabang, we took a 6-hour bus ride into Vang Vien, a magical, spectacular heaven-on-earth. The 2-hour tubing experience to enjoy the peace and scenic view of Vang Vien mountain range, the lovely morning breakfast with a morning sunshine and green mountains. It was a great time of serenity and reflection. Then another 6 hours of bus ride across the mountain into Lua Prabang. Tasted on...

Stand for Judas

By -
You know, there was once my sister told me when I tell her the story of "The Last Supper":"Yer! Why Judas Iscariot so bad one? Betray Jesus ( with a kiss )!" I did not answer her question, I did not know how. I got the answer lately, the thinking somehow struck my mind. Some people might say Judas is bad , taken over by devil. But I think he is quite a brave man actually. If he did not sell Jesus out, Jesus could not carry out His Father's plan. He was actually carrying out his mission that God gave him. And yet, after accomplishing his mission, he hung himself. Think about it, will you kill yourself after accomplishing a mission or successfully completed an important job? Well, even if I throw a knife to you and ask you to cut yourself would need huge courage ( Mrs. Ramani did this experiment before and I had seen it myself, even I would not cut myself ), prove me wrong! Not to say to praise him for selling the Son of Man out, but he deserves our little re...

Heavenly Disconnected

We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt....
