Souled Purpose

hi all...i am starting my 1st blog...from pahang! (yea...don think this place no internet la..jungle la...monkeys etc etc.. my coll got wifi ok....) haha... so yeah.... hope that this blog can be an encouragement.. especially to my fellow brothers and sisters out there...

Why souled purpose? well...its not because i couldn't get names like solepurpose, uniquepurpose, beautifulpurpose and all those..(though i did try....=P) and...it has nothing to do with Souled-out....haha.. yeah...but why? I sort of believe that our lives are centered around a purpose.. and if u have heard of the term soulful before...u will kinda understand what i am trying to mean here.... haha...go figure... a purpose driven life...a life full of soul and vigor.. a purpose that is full of soul and meaning... sincere...packaged with a unique destiny...

Each of our lives are unique...each with its own God given purpose... I sometimes wonder to myself... y did God place me in Pahang... to do matriculation...y didn't He give me a scholarship to go somewhere else... or somewhere more "comfortable"... After many nights of praying and thinking i finally realized why God took me out... the verse 2nd Cor 5:20...we are all Christ's Ambassadors hit me.. I realized that God not only wanted to help me further my studies... but He wanted to take me away...out of my comfort zone to reach young people here... to become His representative here.. to fulfill the great commission.. To be honest with u...i have never considered ever ever leaving...when i got this offer...this calling...i never gave 2nd thoughts bout it.. but when He who wants His will to be accomplished will pave the way and open doors... and make sure u walk in His will... i have only been here for 2 weeks plus... but i can see the potential of a revival here.. besides all these, there are other reasons which i can see why God placed me here... but the important one is that of the above.. and this should not only be applied to those who are away... we must be constantly aware, constantly alert... He is coming soon.. make every moment count..

Its always like a daily line in church when we say that "God take me out of my comfort zone". I used to pray that God will do that...and He did...but trust me..its not like what i expected it to be.. Sometimes its so easy to say things, its so easy to make promises but the doing part is where we fail at times... But when God takes u out of your comfort zone, your relationship with Him will be more intimate...One will be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit.. I have experienced so much more of God's presence here.. I have to admit i have been too comfortable back there at home..with friends and family and all the familiar people around me.. to the extent of neglecting a lot of things...including spiritual food.. But ever since i came here, I had lots of quiet times when i spend alone...and God has never stopped prompting me to pray for others, to seek His word daily, to desire for more of Him... to walk in His will..to change for the better... the adjusting part will definitely take quite sometime... i dare say until today i still miss home.. but i am excited and looking forward to what God is gonna accomplish here.. So young people out there.. If U sense God is calling u to some place whether to study or something else, do consider it.. its a great experience to grow... and train yourself to reach out to be the salt and the light.. let every moment of your life be purposeful... desire a newness in Christ.. ask God to mould u and shape u and watch a new you, another phase, another chapter of your life unfold in front of ure very eyes..

My final thought tonight is why do we sometimes say that "God...why did U allow this to happen??" and we usually say this when bad things happen to us...we feel depressed and everything...Surprisingly we never ask that question when good things happen to us..sometimes we don't even thank God for it...its not for us to question and prompt into God's work.. What comes from God is always for the better... God only allows Satan to do certain things to test our faith...to grow stronger in Him.. all the bad stuff and evil comes from Satan.. never from God.. in fact like Job, we shud never complain...in fact be thankful.. God blesses and gives... Satan takes away and destroys.. Don't ever blame God for the bad things that happen to u... be content... its just a trial.. if u choose to mull in it...dwell in it.. u will never move on... Be still and know that He is God...(Psalms 46:10) cast all your cares and burdens upon Him..but NEVER EVER blame Him... He loved us so much that He gave His one and only son for us... thats the ultimate price.. what more our problems..which are so small as compared to the things that God can do... and yet He cares.. continue to love Him and don't stop holding on to Him though u are at a low... stand strong on your faith and u will rise on eagle's wings.. He will lift u... comfort u...restore u...

yep... I will just leave that much for u to digest.. haha...my first post...so i don't really know how to end this.. erm... thats all for now la...haha... hope u will be greatly encouraged by what has been shared here.. more to come in the future..=D ... till then God bless all of u....=)

Agape..
