I went for church service with my aunt this morning. She went to the adult session whilst I went to the youth session. It was awesome even though I couldn't understand parts of the chim chinese language spoken throughout the whole service. Dayeem! The last time I attended such long chinese lecture-like sessions was like what..2-3 years back? All the way back to my secondary school days? Aye aye, that pretty much explained how often I converse in chinese ever since I graduated from high school.

Nevertheless, the service was meaningful and I've learnt quite a few things! :)
In fact, throughout the service today, I've learnt something rather important. And, yet the thing that amused me most, was that the something I've learnt was in a spiritual book which I've started reading over the past week named "A New Earth - Awakening to Your Life's Purpose". That previous post of mine regarding "Passion of Christ" might be a coincidence. But, what, a 2nd coincidence? Within a couple of weeks? Woah! That's definitely something!

Here's a little summary of what I've learnt from today's service.

Have you ever thought about this; "who am I?" You might say that you are a student, studying in (whatever) school. But, no, that's what you are doing. Leave out everything else, be it your school, your riches, or whatever regarding identification, and ask yourself "who am I?"

Yes, you might find this question a little silly and dumb. But, think about this, if you don't even know who you are and don't even know yourself well..what makes you think that you are able to know others well? You gotta know your partner well enough in order to be together with him/her, no? Likewise, if you don't even know and understand yourself well enough, what makes you think that you are capable of knowing your partner well? Thus, what makes you think that the relationship between you and your partner will last, even without knowing yourself well enough in the first place?

People all over the world are busy with their own stuffs daily; from business works to housekeepings. So busy they are, that people tend to lose their consciousness and eventually don't even know who they are. The recent news regarding the Hongkong tourists killed by the sacked Phillipine policeman. That news alone explains everything.

So, now, try asking yourself this question.."Who am I?" No worries, if you have trouble answering that. Take some time out alone, reach deep inside you and understand yourself.
The pastor then added: God has always been separating things out for us and giving us time alone, it is just the matter of how you use those precious moments.
