Hello again... its quite amazing how time flies... well, i must say that this week been most exciting... ok... maybe exciting isn't quite the word since i don't exactly feel chipper about it... but its been kind of like a rollercoaster ride... ups and downs a plenty... not to mention a few twists...
But God is the only constant we have y'know? And that's how we can ride the rollercoaster and not derail! Heard the song that goes - "Life is a Rollercoaster- you just gotta ride it..." what assurance do you have that in the wild ride life takes you on, you won't derail?
Well, u need a safety device that won't fail... His name is Jesus. So many times we ride rollercoasters and other park rides without really considering the risks...but something as simple as a car key or coin fallen out of a pocket into a delicate part of the machinery and you have a tragedy waiting to happen.
So it is with life... Many times we ride on this rollercoaster but we don't think about safety. and often times, it is the small things that trip us up... we may not steal from a shop but we tell a lie... we don't murder someone but we gossip... and these things come back to haunt us. something small that falls out of our pockets can lead to disaster.
We need to have our Life checked by the best maintenance guy around... Jesus Christ. Coz He wrote the book... Your particular ride was designed by Him. He knows your tracks better than you do.
Often our problem is, we don't let Him do maintenance on our lives. We just keep right on living the way we have and sweating the near derailings and thank whatever lucky stars or gods for the near miss. Other times we get derailed and hurt badly and we curse at the heavens...
Why do we have to suffer like that? All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer...
God can and will do a check up on our lives. If we will let Him. Sometimes maintenance can be difficult and painful... loose screws have to be tightened... =) parts have to be removed and changed... sometimes it feels like we are being ripped apart.... but know this - When the Master is done with you, you be running better than you did before. That is a promise.
So to all you out there who are going thru a tough time... make a pit stop... Look for the maintenance guy... His name is Jesus. Call out His name and ask Him to do a check up and tune up on you. He will. And it'll be the best decision you would have made...
----------------------
Ok, I finished reading this book "the five people you meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom... It's really quite inspiring... its a story of this maintenance guy... haha, so you see where the idea came from... BUT... Jesus is not like Eddie Maintenance of course... still, Eddie's story is good food for thought. The book is a very light read really... I finished it in one night... couldn't put it down... =P
Anyway, i don't own the copy. It was lent to me by a new friend, Stanley. Well, he mentioned that he might wanna come check out our youth ministry and main service... so i'm praying for him...
alright... Cheers, reader!
