J-O-Y – It’s so hard!

There’s so much meaning in kid’s songs. J-O-Y…J-O-Y…this must surely mean…Jesus first, Yourself last, and Others in between. While it’s easy to sing, it’s extremely hard to do – to give God first place in your life and to place others in front of yourself. To realise that everything is not about you or your happiness. To do things that make others happy although it’s not what you really want.

This is especially hard when it comes to people you love and care about. Sometimes what they want is not always what will make you happy. This applies to even small things like giving them some quiet time or giving them what they like. It’s really hard to do but something we should do. Always think of it this way, if you care about them and love them so much, you would want to make them smile and keep them happy right? So whatever they are asking for is clearly keeping them happy – so just do it no matter how hard it is for you!

This is quite relevant in our Christian walk too. Jesus said, If you love me, you will do what I say (John 14:15). If we really love Him, we want to do everything that would make Him smile and keep Him happy.

Biker for Life

Happiness is seeing little kids expression when they see your bright red motorbike roaring past them. Their cute little eyes sparkle and they smile at you. They think of you like a superman. What you would experience in moments like these is one of the most purest, innocent, and impartial forms of expression.

Their smile has the power to capture the hearts of many. It’s contagious, and it lights up the whole world. Their expression makes everything seem so alive. They truly make my day. So one of my favourite times to ride is when the school bell goes off and its time for kids to go home.

It is well…

Ever sang that song, it is well…it is well with my soul? Sometimes, I feel like the author of that song has written those lyrics when His eyes were fixed upon Jesus. 

Can you say it is well with your soul at this very moment? Fix your eyes upon Jesus. Never let anything distract your attention from Him. 

Keep on praying. Become the man or woman of prayer…constantly ask God for guidance even in the littlest of things. Our heavenly father would love that.

Never take things for granted…

God always has His way of teaching things to us and in my recent lesson, I have learned how important it is not to take things for granted. I run a business, so I have a mobile app that lets me see the sales activities and see transactions as they happen. It’s a subscription-based site, so the amount varies from $35 to well over $1000s. Time to time when I see a three figure transaction, I usually end up thanking God for it. What I haven’t realized until just today was that I never actually took the time to thank God for smaller transactions that I get a notification about.

Recently we pushed an update, and my developer forgot to change the credit card processing from test version to live version, so none of the credit card transactions was taking place. We hadn’t realized that until the 4th day when I realized I had few sales.  That’s when God started speaking to me. He reminded me of my actions – of how I gave thanks for bigger transactions but failed to realize the importance of thanking God for even the smaller transactions.

I just bowed my head down and said, Lord, I am sorry. I am guilty of this. I never realized it, but I have done this many times. From this point forward, I am going to give thanks for the little transactions as well as the bigger transactions because it is you who is giving me. They are not coming because I deserve it or because of my hard work. Often, we enjoy so many benefits in our lives but we fail to thank God for them. We take them for granted.

Have you ever thanked God for having clothes on your body, food to eat when hungry, money to buy what you need, car to drive where you need to go, and for a family that loves you no matter where you are in life?

I know I haven’t taken time off to say Thank you, Lord, as many times as I should have. I decided to make it a habit of giving thanks to God for every little thing in my life. The more we are grateful…, the more humble we start to become…because we start to realize how weak and dependent we are on our heavenly father for everything we enjoy in our lives.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
