erm... no. this is not the song by rihanna. ok it is lame. =.=
so it was raining, and i had to go out of the house. i hate rain. it makes the floor wet and slippery. it makes going out difficult. it makes me wet. it makes my stuffs wet. and if i am wearing shoes and socks, my feet get wet. and everything goes so slowly. people walk so slowly. the traffic moves so slowly. it is to me, very irritating and frustrating.
i hate to use an umbrella. it is troublesome. so whenever possible, unless absolutely neccessary, i will not use an umbrella. but wherever i go, i will carry one with me. i am a firm believer of: i would have something i don't need rather than need something and don't have it. now isn't that familiar? yea. the girl from AVP said it. hahax. sue me for plagarism.
riddle: what am i going to say in this post?
answer: another civics and moral education lesson.
flame me for being one who keep preaching what i don't do. just don't do it on my blog. free speech is prohibited.
ok. i sidetracked enough. randomed enough.
sometimes we treat God like an umbrella instead of our Lord. as christians, we should always treat God as our Lord. well, technically if you are not a christian you should do that too. but many christians treat God as an umbrella instead. why do i say that?
when everything goes well, ie the sun is shining and there is no rain, we put God behind us, like an umbrella inside our bag, and forgot all about Him. why? because He is not needed, well, that was what we think. or that was at least how we acted. but when there is rain, ie when there is trouble, we pray and ask for help, just like how we remember we have an umbrella.
in actual fact we are supposed to put God as priority. even when there is no rain, we should not forget about Him. there are times when i too wished that i do not need to follow rules, and do what i want. and of course many times i did what i wanted instead of doing the right thing. i guess that is like treating Him as an umbrella. because when things go wrong, we suddenly remember there is a God who can control all things. that, in a way, is treating Him like a genie.
of course, i have no right to scold people or something like that, because i am guilty myself. but it does not mean i cannot say what i think, and try to let those who read this have a new perspective. i have said what i wanted to say. God is our Lord, not our umbrella. whether there is rain or shine, the top place should always be for Him. talk is easy, because everyone knows how to talk. but it doesn't mean you cannot try. of course sometimes we pass sometimes we fail. but at least, it is better than not bothering to try. i failed many times too.
i guess, if you really need a reason, i shall give you one. you have 2 options: enjoy now on earth and burn in hell for all eternity or suffer now and enjoy in heaven for all eternity. when you die, the game is set. and you either smile forever or scream forever. at least, if you suffer here now, you won't need to scream.
