What Are The Odds?

True happiness. Wondering how you can get it? You're at the right blog reading the right post at the right time. Check out the odds. You're probably the 0.001% of the entire world population that is reading this post right now. Feeling happy already?

Many people find happiness in different things, such as, occupying themselves with fun filled activities (watching a movie or hangin' out with friends or going on a window shopping spree or just sleeping) or spending quality time with their love ones, or planning for a tour to the Caribbean islands. Some depend on good luck or good fortune to bring them happiness. Some pick up a hobby, like learning a certain musical instrument or learning how to cook, doing some gardening, and our all time favourite, collecting stamps (as if anyone still does this, but if you do, please contact me, I can give you some of mine). Some go on to simply do what they love doing, such as, eating, going for 'makan trips' (best related to Malaysians), reading a book of a fictional nerd wizard boy turn hero (yeah right), watching a favourite movie (studies show that people enjoy watching things that are not real, that will never happen, or anything related to blood), or the all time most popular pass time, sleeping (again?).

All the above are true. People do get happiness in these various ways and probably many other weird and not so common ways which we will not mention about today. But, mind you, all of these have just a temporary effect in bringing you happiness. Temporary pleasure isn't the same as lasting satisfaction and happiness.

I have learned and found out through the years that TRUE happiness can't be found, it can't be earned by what you do or generated emotionally. TRUE happiness is given. It is receivable as much as it is rejectable. Happiness isn't TRUE happiness but TRUE happiness will bring happiness. TRUE happiness stands the test of earthquakes (shaky times in life and surroundings), it defeats defeat without words, it makes you have inexpressible emotions and it even stands the test of test itself.

'WORDS OF TRUTH'

He saved us not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heir according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:5-7 NASB)

Dear reader, if you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ (TRUE happiness) into your life. You need to do that right now. The happiness of your life will no more depend on the happenings around you or what you do but it will be found in Jesus Christ (TRUE happiness). And when there is TRUE happiness how can there not be happiness that follow? So take a step of faith and receive Him (TRUE happiness) into your heart. He loves you as much as anytime He has ever loved you no matter what you do right now.

If you want to receive TRUE happiness today, read this following statement with all of your heart,

Jesus Christ, come into my life. Even though I don't know much about You, but with all of my heart, I receive You into my life and this gift of eternal life. Jesus, I feel so stupid doing this, its like I'm talking to this brainless computer, but I'm sure You're listening to me somewhere. Thank you for Your love even though I'm not perfect. 谢谢耶稣 ^_^

If you have read this with a believing heart, congratulations, you just prayed and you just got a new life. Your sins are forgiven. Now, you must contact a Christian friend or you can also call me so that we know we have a new brother/sister.

'WORDS OF DESTINY'

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship, recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which he prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible)

The Game of Life - Part 3, Focus On Your Career

my all time favorite football player, David Beckham

In football, a footballers career is around 10-15 years, depending on what position they play and when did they turn pro. They give all that they can, put all their efforts into training, sometimes even jeopardising their relationships (friendship and etc.) just because of their intense passion and commitment to their career. Players want to look back on their careers and know that they have given their best and be remembered by fans for their achievements not only as a football player but as a person who benefited and impacted the sport. On the other hand, players that get caught up in relationships and in the heat of all other things that has nothing to do with even a ball, often are players that are not remembered by fans or even recognize as a player. They are often remembered as losers! A football great has always been measured by their loyalty to the club, their focus on their career and their achievements, which we all know will follow when the first 2 things are accomplished.

So come on people, let us learn from these football players. Know that our time in this world ain't that much. Its much shorter than you think it is. Let us be giving our hearts totally to "football" (God. For those of you that are offended that I've equated football with God, please get angry with the devil, he deserves it more than me) in this short time and reap our rewards in eternity. Let us not be caught up in the things of the world and lose focus of what we are to do for such a time as this. I'm sure you don't wanna look back and regret on wasted opportunities. Trust me, you will regret if you aren't living right baby! I'm not saying that having friendships are wrong, certainly not, I would be a fool if I was meaning that, and my mama raised no fool. I'm saying, don't be caught up in it. Well, only you and God know whether you're caught up in something. So focus on your "career".

P.S. - This is a gentle reminder to all you blind dingbats that have actually already figured out your purpose of life and yet not living it and doing it. You're welcome.

'WORDS OF FAITH'

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:33-34 NKJV)

'FUN FACT'

God looks at the intentions of your heart more than you know it.
