Life after O levels has been great.
So free and happy, however though only one week
Has passed.
It seemed like a looongg time already
Haha ><
Anyway my struggles didn’t just end after O levels
There have been other forms of testing
Upon my life,
More on the physical aspects of my life.
And struggling to have the right attitude to circumstances
One thing I learnt is about illness
Illness/sickness is NOT God’s will,
I’m adopting this from Selwyn Hugh’s EDWJ
Devotional material:
If we do not have good health it is possible that
Some law has been broken somewhere by our ancestors,
Ourselves, by society or by environmental factors.
But the important thing is that if I’m sick,
I should endeavour to discover whether my illness is from
A structural breakdown or from incorrect or functional
Attitudes.
I realized that my attitude towards life
AFFECT my health!
AMAZING!
And it’s been proven personally in my life.
On Wednesday, I had a little runny nose,
So I prayed and believed He will heal me
And indeed He made me better.
However in the afternoon, I had an eye check-up
At SNEC, at Singapore General Hospital there
My conditions didn’t seem positive,
My eyesight is more or less the same
But my squint did not improve,
In fact there has been signs that it’s getting worse
I was offered the choice to take a surgery to improve
The situation, but not solve condition fully
There are chances that my condition would drift back
After the surgery.
So I decided not to have the surgery yet
But to put it on hold
Unless there’s an urgent need to.
So after hearing what the doc said,
I had to stay for more eye tests
And had to put eye drops next year during
My birthday which would blur my vision.
These made me pissed especially after waiting so long
For ‘good’ news.
Furthermore I had a chalet to rush to after the appointment
All these made me angry and I kept on complaining
To God.
And low and behold, I felt my physical health getting bad
My running nose came back and I had a sore throat!
It seems like God was punishing me
Or telling me to change my attitude
And that EDWJ entry, woke me up and
Taught me a valuable lesson.
I should approach matters positively and also
Ask God to heal me.
Pastors have been preaching saying God has infinite resources
So I should tap upon the gifts of the Holy Spirit!
I need to build myself upon God’s Word
And trust in Him.
He might sometimes delay healing a sickness and
use it to develop in us qualities He desires for us.
So either way it’s a win-win situation
All glory to God!
This song here by 33 Miles is very powerful
And I hope it would touch your life (:
33 Miles – Jesus Calling
What do you see when you look at your world today
Is it so full of clutter that you feel like you’re going insane
And you can’t fight back cause you’re just too afraid
And it seems like the clouds in your sky don’t wanna change
You see there’s always another story,
Another side to every coin
And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice
When you see the rushing wind
Feel the pouring rain
Hear the thunder now
As the clouds roll in
You’re blinded by the lightning
Do you also hear that still small voice saying
It’s okay, you’re not alone
You may be scared to death
But I won’t let you go
You may think the sky above is falling
But can you hear Jesus calling
What do you see when you look at your world today
Do you see a glimmer of hope, or has it all turned to gray
Well start by counting your blessings one by one
Oh and I’m sure right there, you’ll start to see the sun
You see there’s always another story,
Another side to every coin
And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice
Because the darker the night
The brighter He (Jesus) can shine!
God bless! (:
