never too late.
central service was powerful, bold and above all, inspiring today. daniel himself, was a great example of what he was teaching. by saying those words today, he might just have changed the world in many years to come.
we'll see.
actually, we dont have to wait for God to call on us, to say that we've been chosen. we can start changing the world today.
ive never hesitated to say, its never too late. regardless of the situation and context, not including death of course. i guess thats open to debate, but most of the time when we give up, thinking that what we were thinking of attempting would be fruitless, and sink into that dark abyss of regret. we dont realise that it doesnt do us any good, sitting around, wallowing in self-pity.
ah yes an overused expression but accurate nonetheless.
and for that, i'm encouraged. because its never too late to do something about things.
i remember disliking a certain someone, for her constant tendency to impose her own passion and beliefs on others, expecting them to feel the same and to be as willing to make sacrifices for that same cause as she. i dont respect that, because everyone has different passions, everyone has their own set of beliefs, different degrees of willingness to sacrifice for a certain cause; its not something that should be forced upon anyone. even if it were to be shoved down their throats, it would defeat the entire purpose, wouldnt it? when you do that, youve got the person, but not the person's heart. nor her energy. nor time. nor effort. and i realise how much it applies today. i'm glad i didnt handle things the same way, though i felt inclined to, but i remembered how i felt when i heard of such a thing happening, and i thought it would be wrong for me to do the same. i wont force you. maybe a nudge or two. a reminder here and there. maybe that seems too little. too little effort? i disagree. sometimes pushing someone too hard about something will only result in a complete backfiring of plans. and thats the last thing i want to happen. its alright ! be patient, fongyee. persevere.
"But he said to me,"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
this brings much comfort. and strength for the days that lie ahead.
