God... u there?

what happens when u become too comfortable living in your perfect life as a christian? i believe all of us have experienced comfortable living and tend to take God's grace in our lives for granted... at least for me, i experienced it

was overwhelmed by this awesome God 5 years back and devoted my life to him.. but after attending services and even taking up commitment to join Sing Shen, his presence drifted from me... i was still attending church.. still having fun in Glowing, still singing for church services... but when i put myself at ground zero and looked down at myself, it was clear that i drifted from God... the motive and passion to burn for him was missing.. why??? 

it's human nature to feel that God left us... and den grumble about how God "forgot about us" or, "is not listening to me"... but hey... it's the other way around!!!

there's this inspiring story i read during my devotion...

imagine u're a little boy holding mummy's hand and is at the escalator... when mummy steps up the escalator, the little boy decides to see what will happen if he just stay put at the bottom of the escalator... watching mummy on the escalator going higher, he watches and laugh.. until mummy was too far, fear sits in and the boy cries in loneliness.. a kind stranger walks pass and helped the escalator up... up there, the boy realised mummy's still at the top of the escalator!!!!

sometimes... it's us that make decisions that make us look away from God and walk in the other direction... although we might not see it initially, but we must know that it's us that walk away from God, and not him forsaking us! this is v v v v impt! cos he'll always be there at the top of the escalator waiting for us to go back! all u need to do is realise that crying at the bottom of the escalator is pointless and step up! he's waiting!

wishing all a spark in their spiritual passion!!!! let it burn!
