it takes -

a spark to start a fire.
a second difference to decide winner.
a misunderstanding to breakup a relationship.
a step of faith to venture into the unknown.
a hello to start a conversion.
a bye to end a conversion.
a blink of an eye to miss miracles.
a finger to point the direction.
a step to move on.

a simple act of faith for a Man to stay on the cross.

our journey with Christ can be like this. all it takes is just something we need to do and God will do the rest. if we want fire, we get the gas and the matchsticks. do you lay hands on your stove and say, "in Jesus' name, i command you to burn!" ?

if no one were to step out and lead, everyone would be like lost sheeps, bleching and panicking. in times like this, things may happen and if we're not prepared, we might just lose something precious to us.

i've my fairshare of gaining and losing. but as much as i gain, i do not want to lose them. losing something precious is very painful. do you want to wait till you lose something, then regret it? if i'm given the choice, i would gladly turn back time and explain things clearly. i would prevent more people from being hurt, be it emotionally or physically.

but i do not have the power for that to happen. all these things happen for a reason. God has placed experiences in us for a reason, and thats to share. God gives us choices everyday in our lives, choices that we have to make that will determine the next choice we make.

screw up the first choice, the rest of the day would be tough. but it doesn't mean that there's no turning back. God is able to restore and we continue from where we stopped. from here, choices have to be made.

if i've made a choice to do something, do i give up halfway because its tough? no! its almost like breaking your promise to God! whatever things we do, we do it for Jesus and if we were to do it half heartedly or halfway, it doesn't bring glory to His name.

our life is determined by the choices we make. make the right choice everyday; listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
