Dreams, eternity and now.
Hello Everybody, don’t mind me but I’m here to blog again! As Sam-body puts it, my blogs are quite cheem. Haha. Buy hey, it’s good for you all. If u’ve been reading the posts on Mr LT and think it’s cheem, Let me introduce you to Ms Cecilia Perh. ( Yah, remember me inviting you for her session?) She’s a powerful speaker with a lot of conviction and confidence in the word of God (not to mention knowledge too).
The session in a nutshell (conversation style btw JT and Ms C.P.)
Ms C.P.: What are your dreams? How do you want to live your life to the fullest?
JT: To travel the world.
Ms C.P.: Only the world? What about the galaxy? I want to swim with the sharks and explore the depths of the sea you know…
JT: erm, just this earth will do lah
Ms C.P.: okie (writes on board: JT wants to travel everywhere on this earth)
(pause)
Ms C.P.: So what do you think you need to achieve this dream?
JT: erm… time… money…
Ms C.P.: So how much money do you think you need?
JT: erm… 10 million?
Ms C.P.: okie. Anything else?
JT: erm… determination…
Ms C.P.: yes! You definitely need discipline and perseverance. You need character more than anything else. Actually, you need character to fulfill any dream. So do you think you can fulfill your dreams now?
JT: erm… If I want to travel everywhere… cannot leh. I old already…
Ms C.P.: That’s right! Even if we have all the resources, we are limited by time, mortality and DEATH!
JT: okie…
Ms C.P.: What happens after DEATH?
JT: live in eternity…
Ms C.P.: what about your dreams? Can you fulfill all of them in eternity?
JT: erm…
Ms C.P.: Yes! You can! In heaven you have eternity to live and all the resources and a new wonderful body and a new wonderful place to explore in the presence of GOD!
JT: whoa…
Ms C.P.: So can you postpone your dream to eternity?
JT: Yah… haha.
Ms C.P.: So what must you do now? Things you cannot do in eternity right? True or not?
(JT nods)
Ms C.P.: So what can’t you do?
JT: sharing gospel to non-Christians…
Ms C.P.: That’s right… some more?
JT: erm
Ms C.P.: Look, to know what you need to do now and what you can do in eternity, you need to know your Bible!
JT: oh…
Ms C.P.: you cannot neglect Bible study in this life! A lot of people don’t realize this and go on to pursue their dreams, forgetting that there’s eternity to fulfill them! That’s why so many people spend ALL their time on education and career to earn the money to fulfill the dreams and neglect Bible study! Do you know where you all are heading? Are you all living life to the fullest now? Are you studying the Bible?!
(JT feels blown away. Much to think about. What about you? Drop a line!)
