I just heard a piece of very sad news from a friend. My ex-cell member, who was in my cell for a good number of years, went with us to Malacca, invited me to do her house blessing recently when she moved to a new place and who just retired as a school teacher has just passed away. She had 4th stage of colon cancer.
I am sadden & grief-stricken when I reflect about her life .... what have we done in our short time on earth that was impactful and meaningful? Have we committed ourselves to complete devotion and service to God and His people while we still have breath? Have we submitted ourselves to honor leadership - civil leaders, social leaders, domestic leaders or even church leaders? Do we harbour offences and unforgiveness?
In fact, I am reading a book by John Bevere entitled 'Honor' Reward'. It is timely and yet scary because how we value, respect and treat others determines our rewards ... It teaches us how to extend honor to our Creator, family members, authorities and those who fill our world. Do we want a full reward, a partial reward or No reward at the end of our life?
Make my life count for You, Jesus!
