Aid

Seeking rescue from Someone and others
In spiritual and physical needs
During our difficult times

Do we have such experience from God and others? Are we thankful?
I do experience it and my heart is filled with gratitude
To my Lord and the people who have helped me during my difficult times
Even now also experience it in reality and in blogging.

“Lonely in the dark” suddenly came to me when I was going to shower. As I rephrase it, “Aid in the Dark” acronym is more suitable. This is because we need help in our darkest moment phase of life.

My dad explained and comforted my toddler who is fearful of thunder whenever it occurs during the middle of the night. He shrieked in fear, begged to sleep on my bed with his dad. After the thunder had died down, either my husband or I will put him back to his cot. I shared this experience to my dad.

Upon returning home from a night class, my toddler said to me, “不害怕gong gong. Gong gong放屁”. Through his words, a poem is birthed and later on I tried to revised it and translate to English.

How many times God comforts us not to be fearful of our circumstances? Just trust in Him and go to Him in prayer. We can see God’s mighty hand in the Old Testament and in the book of the Gospel where Jesus comforts His disciples upon calming the storm (Mark 4:35-41).

To Or Not To

To spend or not to spend
To have or not to have
To think or not to think
To fight or not to fight
To overcome or not to overcome
To fly or not to fly
To jump or not to jump
To believe or not to believe my eyes and ears.

To spend our money or to save it
To have children or not to have
To think about our problems or not to think about it
To fight back to keep marriage intact or let it broken
To overcome our own darkest moments or not to do so
To board an airplane or not fearful of accident
To jump out of the wrecked ship or remain in it
To believe or not to believe the words we hear and the events we see with our eyes.

These are the questions and doubts
Which keep us in a dilemma?

No matter what happens
Let us overcome our obstacles in life
Praying to our Abba Father for wisdom and guidance
And to do what is right in His sight.
In His Son’s most beloved Name above all names.

The above inspiration came as I was considering to buy USB fan at Challenger due to my fan was moved away by my husband for my toddler’s safety sake. As I pondered about this, many people are going through times

1. Whether to spend their money
2. Whether to have children
3. Whether to solve their problems
4. Whether to keep their marriage successful

This is because we are living in an imperfect world. So we can only seek God and seek His help.

Merry Go Round

Round and Round
Merry Go Round
Stopping By
Passing By

From sofa
Passing by television.
Then back to sofa

Stop to observe for a while
Observe what
Observing television
But returned to sofa
Make a lot of Merry Go Round trips.
Just wanting to touch it.
Touch what?
Touching the dangerous electrical appliances.
Touching that consumes his curiosity.
Knowing he isn’t allowed to do so.

Pointing his finger somewhere else.
Diverting your attention
Then he abruptly touched the television
Smiling and laughing upon successful attempt.
Not even a second, he wailed,
Upon pulled him away.

How many times, are we like the baby who wails when God doesn’t allow us to go and do dangerous things that might hurt us?

Since the Scripture mentions God’s statutes and commandments, God know what is best for us.

Just like the Apostle Paul told in his letter to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 10:23 (NIV 1984), ” “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is constructive.“

Japanese Movie “Nada Sô Sô” (2006)

Yotaro lived sacrificially for his sister’s sake in order to keep his promise to his beloved mum before her deathbed, but he also work hard to earn income to fulfil his dream to open a restaurant.

On the day to open his dream restaurant, suddenly the real land owner appeared. Then he realized that Mr. Kameoka was a swindler. This ended him with a big debt to settle. His dream was dashed.

This shows he is a gentleman, responsible, honours his words, respectful, honest, and a hardworking man.

For the sake of paying his debts, he worked hard day and night until he lost his health. Despite his fever, for the sake of protecting his sister during typhoon, he ignored it and went to her rescue and lose his life at the age of 25.

This is indeed a love in action.

Suddenly, James Chapter 2 verse 17 to 20 came to my mind, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”

The first book of Corinthians Chapter 13 verse 4 to 7 speaks about love, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

My mind starts to wonder,
Is this what a disciple of Christ supposed to do?

James 2:17-20 “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”

So the moral of the story is love in action.

A Picky Husband

A wife seldom cooks food with oil due to her concern to eat healthily. So also seldom cook fried food. A dish of steamed tofu, steamed fish, and even baked prawn without greasing oil. Everyday, she drinks a cup of low-fat with high-calcium milk.

She is quite an opposite of her husband who loves to eat tasty food without considering whether the ingredients will affect his well-being. He hates milk and refuses to take vitamin pills. Her son states that her mum cooking deteriorates. All day, he comments the food’s taste is not salty enough and even not sour enough. Finally, he participates in the kitchen preparation. He remarks that in order to make a tasteful and refined dish, there is no need to bother whether the consumed food is harmful for the body. He even laughs her for always drinking milk, but his body is stronger than her though he smokes.

One day, his sore throat worsens a lot until he is scared causing him to stop smoking. Around one month later, he doesn’t feel well and decides to take a full body medical check up. He brings his wife along to do the same as him. One week later, the report shows his bone calcium is lacking and mild high blood pressure. It is quite a contrast with his wife whose bone calcium is high and her hereditary diabetes is under control. Ultimately, he forces himself to gulp vitamins and sometimes milk.

The moral of the story is

Stop criticising people.

Listen to advises.

Reflect your own words and actions before criticising others.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

                                                                                                                  (James 1:19 KJV)

Words by Dimple Shahri

Nothing is too much for me to bear compare to what Jesus had to bear for me.

As I give to others, I give God space to bless me.

If God can start something in your life, He really knows how to end it!

Jesus gave all so we can receive all.

When life seems hard and we feel like giving up, at least live for the One who died for you so u might live!

Jesus alway see us as winners not quitters!

Jesus believes in you when you don’t even believe in yourself.

One bird has a whole big massive field to eat from. Everywhere it goes, it sees abundance. What more us who are more precious than those birds. So open your eyes and see the abundance the Father has for you.

Sometimes we feel the enemy is running after us, maybe he is but we have to know where he is running… On a threadmill my friend. He can’t catch you or hold you. He will always remain a loser. God is good.

The days of my life is in the hands of God, so why should I be afraid! Jesus is with me.

God hears, sees and knows. Remember He gave those eyes, ears, and mind to you.

Devil.. don’t you dare mess around with me or you will be messy!
