Be strong

Feel a bit sad today knowing some of my friends are having problems that seem to affect them badly..I myself am not free of problems.I have lots of them,lots to pray for,lots to work upon.

When I think about it, sometimes I'd like to have a life free of problems. *That is life wif God in heaven I guess*hehehe...No problem wif family, friends, food, clothes, relationship and so on ... But yeah I guess that's not quite what you call a LIFE isn't it? Life will be meaningless if we only have happy times without sad times. It's like a one-sided coin .. Won't be complete..One good illustration is exam/test at school/uni. Even though we don't like having exam, somehow we realize that we need it to prove ourselves to a certain degree of higher level in our education. Once we pass the exam, then we can move to the next level in our grades. So is LIFE. I guess we need exam, we need problems to make us stronger. It is important to pay attention on how we react to problems, how we look at our problems.

I believe that in whatever our circumstances is, no matter how bad it is (can be really bad u know, like what happen to Jews in Nazi camp or what happen in Ambon, Bali bomb, Sept 11), God is in control, and He promised that He will be with us in those times as well in happy times. No matter you feel Him or not HE IS THERE kok. There is God's goodness in every situation we are in.He has a bigger plan that He will accomplish in the end not just for our personal lives but to this world as a whole.

So friends, whatever situations u r in at the moment, be STRONG in the Lord and in His mighty power yaa.

**Lord, teach us to look at our problems NOT as something bigger than You**
