Living Like A Pure Gold

Living Like A Refined Gold

God PROCEEDS someone's life as if a gold miner in the river.

He PROCEEDS"black mud" sediment from a river, "be chosen", and "be melted" to become A REFINED GOLD.

For many are taken, but few are chosen.

Those who are CHOSEN,

be cleansed by PATIENCE and ENDURANCE,

until it turns to be shiny,

the condition is much BETTER than before.

But those who are NOT CHOSEN,

Must be FALLEN to rock bottom of  the river, 

DISAPPEAR completely in "messiness."

Next...

Those who are CHOSEN,

Must enter the REFINING PROCESS,

High heat container is ready to melt them.

Whoever GIVE UP,

and cannot survive,

MUST be wrecked by the high-heat refining container.

But whoever SURVIVE,

they are well-qualified...

THOSE WILL BE THE BEST REFINED GOLD

Message:

Suffering that you bear now is a process which God allows,

to separate you from UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and PURIFY your life, 

to become THE BEST REFINED GOLD

Never give up!

Your tears will not drop in vain!

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

(Romans 8:18)

Something GOOD will come to those who BELIEVE.

Something BETTER will come to those who ENDURE.

Something BEST must come to those who NEVER GIVE UP.

God bless you!

Keep Going Son!

Keep Going Son!

A son drove a car with his father.

After few kilometers away, there were dark cloud and gust suddenly.
The sky became dimmed.
Some of cars stopped and stepped aside.

"What should we do father? We stop?" the son asked.
"Kept going son!" his father stated.

The son kept driving the car.
The sky became darker and the gust became stronger. Rain fell. Trees toppled, even flown by wind. It was so scary. Big vehicles stopped and stepped aside.

"Father...!?"
"Kept going son!" the father ensured.

The son kept driving hardly. Heavy rain hindered his sight, only few meters to the forefront.
The son started to be frightened, yet kept driving slowly.

After pass through some kilometers ahead, rain started to stop, wind started to be calm.
After some kilometers ahead, they reached dried place and sun shone brightly.

"You could stop and go out" the father uttered.
"WHY now? the son inquired.
"Look back now and you could see if we stopped in the midst of ongoing storms.

He imagined people trapped there. He just understood to never stop in the midst of storms because you will be snared in uncertainty.

If we are facing storms of life, keep going.

Don't stop and be disappointed!

OR..

you will drown in the frightening condition continually.

Do what you can do, and NEVER STOP even you failed..

Remember! Storms shall pass!

With God, you can pass the storms!

God bless you!

Principle of Respect

Principle of Respect

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21)

A  monk, wore a dirty tunic, solicited alms-giving from a rich merchant. The rich merchant mocked the monk's tunic and rebuked the monk.

A couple days later...

 

A monk came with a luxurious tunic to solicit alms-giving from the rich merchant.

The rich man asked his maid to serve deluxe, plush food to the monk.

The monk wore off his tunic, folded it neatly, and put it on the table.

"Yesterday, I came with dirty tunic and you rebuked me. Today, I came with luxurious tunic and you welcomed me. Obviously, these food were not for me yet for this tunic."

 

After that, the monk left the shocked merchant...

Then, the monk concluded,

"If it is not me, but my tunic which is honored; why do I have to be happy?

and 

If it is not me, but what I wear is insulted; why do I have to be sad?

That shows human beings,

People tend to honor other people from what they possess, such as clothes, wealth, status, not as a  PERSON itself.

If you are honored, do not boast yourself..

If you are not honored, do not be anxious and disheartened.. 

Because YOU ARE PRECIOUS and VALUABLE.

   “Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the Lord is a God who knows,
    and by him deeds are weighed.

1 Samuel 2:3 

Learning From Eagles versus Ravens

Eagles versus Raven

Eagles have several enemies. One of the enemies is raven that shouts and interrupts disgracefully.

In real life, you may have some "ravens". They may be irritating and annoying, if you neglect them.

Did you know?

When an eagle flies out, an raven will follow it. The raven will start to annoy, mock, and disturb the eagle.

To get rid of the raven, the eagle just spreads its eight-feet wings, observes air pressure, and flies higher to a certain point where no other birds, even the raven, can reach this point.

 

The same way...

If you want to get rid of disturbances, you have to "fly higher" not "fly lower".

REMEMBER!

If people pull you down, it means you are above them.

Increase your quality of life to solve your matters.

Never let people pull you into a conflict and disunity.

Be an EAGLE! NOT a raven. No "ravens" can disturb you! None of them!

God bless you :D
