I am unique.

I am Joey Lam Zheng Yi.
I have yet to find another person with the exact same name.
I am from Innova Junior college.
I am a christian.
I have not found anyone living within those few exact conditions.
Therefore...

I am unique.
I am special.
And my existence is a proof of how awesome our God is.

It all goes back in the box - John Ortberg

The world portrays the ideal lifestyle as one that earns millions, live in a big house, drive a nice car...climb up to the top of the ladder.
But Jesus climbed down the ladder.
All the way down.
From God of the universe.
To a human being.
To a human being falsely accused of sin when he never sinned.
Hung on a cross.

He lived without a house.
He had no car.
He was definitely poor.
Was he contented?
Absolutely.

How many millionaires living across this world is contented?
Very few.
Think about it.
Their mind will be robbed by insecurities.
'How am i going to keep all the money to myself?'

Remember...its all stuff.
You come to this earth naked.
You will leave this earth naked.
Its utter stupidity to chase after things that is not eternal.
That will all be left behind one day.
Invest your time in people, in God, in your character.

Dont carve your name on marble, carve your name on people's hearts.

Climb down the ladder, and contentment is so much easier to gain.

In utopia, people measure your wealth not by the number of possessions you have, but by the number of friends you have.

Ever struck you, we, those living in the first world nation are the ones deprived?
Ever wonder why those living in a third world country, sleeping on the streets can smile, and we are always wearing a frown on our forehead?
They have nothing to lose.
They are contented.
Are we?

Aren't we just deprived?

Here s a trap of consumerism.
Prevent yourself from spending unnecessarily.
You will never bring along your possessions to heaven.
Keep that in mind.

Your life is limited, it is finite, it will end one day.
Every day is a gift from God.
Imagine, everyday God records your score down on a board.
Every time you make Him smile, the score goes up.
One day when you die, you reach heaven, God will say either one of the two following lines,
"Why is your score so low?"
or
"Well done, good and faithful servant."

One life,
Live it WELL!

If the devil cant make you do evil, he will make you busy.
Either way you would not lead the life God has intended for you.
Are you too busy for God?

I really pray you will never tell God you are too busy for Him.
I think you rather find an exit sign from heaven than say something like that to God.

Dont wait for things to settle down before you spend time with God.
One whole day with God.
Plan ahead, make that day free.

I do it by bus hopping.
Its when you are not restricted to reach a destination.
A sense of freedom will course through your veins.
When was the last time you felt freedom in your life?

We are called to live free. Not to be tied down by Have To Do things in our lives.

Its all a choice.
Freedom,
One of the greatest gifts God gave.

Today i let an old man sit my seat.
My score board number went up by one.
I implore you, make God smile.
Make yourself smile.

Live a life of significance.

One life, Live it Well!
