Why am I here?

29/6/2010

In CF, we touched on the point in where are we heading? and what are the reasons / purpose we come here? Well, it is not because of no choice or anything else but it is because you've made the choice to come to kampar, UTAR. Knowing your purpose in here is significant in how you want to lead your life in this 3 years (degree), 4 years (degree + foundation) or even 1 year (foundation).. Seek for your purpose on why you are here..

But then,  do not forget of what God's purpose in our life.. To abide the law and the greatest commandment which is

 Matthew 22 : 37 - 39

" Jesus replied: ' Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it : ' Love your neighbor as yourself.' "

Matthew 28 : 19 - 20

" Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. "

Remember that this is the greatest commission we are ought to do. This are the main purpose we are to do no matter you are studying, working or serving. Have this Purpose in you and of course have some sub purpose you want to achieve in your life.

Psalms 37 : 4

" Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. "

By doing the great commission faithfully, God will also give you the desires of your heart. Don't give up in working on His greatest commission and seek your purpose in life that you want to achieve here in Kampar =) or anywhere you are.

Don't waste your time and enjoy your life to the fullest of His kingdom.

God Bless!

The Cave People

by Max Lucado

He came to the world that was his own, but his own people did not accept him.
John 1:11

LONG AGO, OR maybe not so long ago, there was a tribe in a dark, cold cavern.

The cave dwellers would huddle together and cry against the chill. Loud and long they wailed. It was all they did. It was all they knew to do. The sounds in the cave were mournful, but the people didn't know it, for they had never known joy. The spirit in the cave was death, but the people didn't know it, for they had never known life.

But then, one day, they heard a different voice. "I have heard your cries," it announced. "I have felt your chill and seen your darkness. I have come to help."

The cave people grew quiet. They had never heard this voice. Hope sounded strange to their ears. "How can we know you have come to help?"

"Trust me," he answered. "I have what you need."

The cave people peered through the darkness at the figure of the stranger. He was stacking something, then stooping and stacking more.

"What are you doing?" one cried, nervous.

The stranger didn't answer.

"What are you making?" one shouted even louder.

Still no response.

"Tell us!" demanded a third.

The visitor stood and spoke in the direction of the voices. "I have what you need." With that he turned to the pile at his feet and lit it. Wood ignited, flames erupted, and light filled the cavern.

The cave people turned away in fear. "Put it out!" they cried. "It hurts to see it."

"Light always hurts before it helps," he answered. "Step closer. The pain will soon pass."

"Not I," declared a voice.

"Nor I," agreed a second.

"Only a fool would risk exposing his eyes to such light."

The stranger stood next to the fire. "Would you prefer the darkness? Would you prefer the cold? Don't consult your fears. Take a step of faith."

For a long time no one spoke. The people hovered in groups covering their eyes. The fire builder stood next to the fire. "It's warm here," he invited.

"He's right," one from behind him announced. "It's warmer." The stranger turned and saw a figure slowly stepping toward the fire. "I can open my eyes now," she proclaimed. "I can see."

"Come closer," invited the fire builder.

She did. She stepped into the ring of light. "It's so warm!" She extended her hands and sighed as her chill began to pass.

"Come, everyone! Feel the warmth," she invited.

"Silence, woman!" cried one of the cave dwellers. "Dare you lead us into your folly? Leave us. Leave us and take your light with you."

She turned to the stranger. "Why won't they come?"

"They choose the chill, for though it's cold, it's what they know. They'd rather be cold than change."

"And live in the dark?"

"And live in the dark."

The now-warm woman stood silent. Looking first at the dark, then at the man.

"Will you leave the fire?" he asked.

She paused, then answered, "I cannot. I cannot bear the cold." Then she spoke again. "But nor can I bear the thought of my people in darkness."

"You don't have to," he responded, reaching into the fire and removing a stick. "Carry this to your people. Tell them the light is here, and the light is warm. Tell them the light is for all who desire it."

And so she took the small flame and stepped into the shadows.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let us be like that woman. Let us not be ashamed to stand up for Him, to shine for Him.

CF meeting + prayer walk

A big welcome to all the oldies whom have stepped back into campus and an even bigger welcome to all you new CF-ers.

I'm sure everyone would have known about the tarts, pies and muffins selling even being carried out this whole week. Besides that, we as a CF will also meet together on this Thursday to worship our God and to pray for UTAR in the form of a prayer walk.

The purpose of a prayer walk is quite simple.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 says that "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intersession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."

So, let us all come together to pray for this university that we study in. Let us pray for UTAR, so that it will get better and better, have the presence of God, and most of all for a spiritual revival!

Meeting location: Dry canteen (Between block D and E)

Time: 5pm - 7pm

Day and date: 3rd June 2010 (Thursday)
