title: Day 16: 'Cooling-down' Period... Nerve-wreaking
I'm loaded. Even though I was broke. But by God's grace... my mum remembered to replenish my empty wallet. (Phew...)
Yesterday was crazy... I woke up slightly earlier than the usual Sunday, but i took my own sweet time to pack up for church. In the end, I took ANOTHER TAXI AGAIN... (Argx!!), but still late by 5 minutes lor...
Late for Ministry will be fined for 10 bucks for first 20 minutes (2x Argx!!)... Gosh! I should have taken MRT instead... waste my money.
The thought of money, made me remember 'Full Monty'... As usual, my spelling was once troubling me for my perfection in English language. I always pronounced it as 'Full Money'...
My stupidity has prevailed. Oh yes... there is a campfire cheer that i spelled stupid. as 'S-T-P-I-E, stood-pie that's what you are.' ( that's bad.. very bad.)
Forget it!!! Never to be mention again. FULLSTOP!!
Genesis 1:26 says,
' Then God said, "Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life - the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals, and small animals." '
This verse has been troubling me from the time I stepped into SPCA to help out. I thought of what people are doing to animals that are once classified as 'pets' or 'human's best friend', which many were born of a certain species that were stereotyped as pedigree, the best of the best.
I wouldn't blame God for creating domestic animal to be sexually-raged creatures that reproduce so frequently to maintain their existence. Animals are made to let humans to feel superior and have regards for our special identity.
Having deep concern about the animals in SPCA, many have divided issues on their own on the treatment of animals, that made 'euthanased humanely' to be seen as a horrible act of protecting animals and their resources. But, how many know the authority we possessed determine the destiny of the animals, that majority of us abused it?
Mankind history has been shaped by the acts of human corruption and influence. Some were inspired by the Spirit of God, other inspired by the Spirit of Death. If we ourselves could even bear the madness to manslaughter one another, due to disunity in thoughts. What rights do we even have, to put these lovely creatures into eternal rest? Just becos to save resources or otherwise?
We have selfish ambitions... we are conquers of our own desires that meeting the mark is insufficient, we want more and more and more...
Stewardship is just a cliché.
But one thing's for sure, what is made in the world will never be comparable to what is made for eternity. Earthly rewards is the preliminary to the heavenly rewards, thus what happens on earth will determine what happens too in the spiritual realm.
If on earth, you are already a conquer for God and always working for his righteousness, den in heaven, you will be like an archangel that fights in the spiritual realm endlessly.
Are you ready to be a conquer or a AWOL steward on earth? it's time to make a decision..
