SHINING LIKE STARS

yes i spelled it correctly and not shinning!!!

"Do everything withoout complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe" [Phil 2 : 14 - 15]

Our shared vision (mine and Mr. Bay's) where we want our devotions to be practical, where we can draw lessons from the Bible and apply it to our daily lives. We hopes all these devotions will also help us grow in character and that all of us have right value systems so that when we grown up, we can make a firm stand on issues.

Think that this is a really simple lesson : where not complaining makes us stand out from among the crowd and be different. I think all of us live in an atmosphere where everyone around us is unhappy and complaining about something, their homework, their teachers, their CCAs etc. Let us all be different and stand out todae and NOT complain. Even though it is simple, it sure is hard.

Practical areas for us to NOT complain :
- our parents
- our seniors / our juniors
- our teachers / officers
- BB programmes and school

So what should we do? We should really give thanks in everything. Give thanks even in "shitty" circumstances that at least we have people around us who are encouraging us and helping us up. Give thanks that we have a God that loves and cares for us and that He will never fail.

cheers ;)
