it's ALL about HIM!

heyy :))

chari jus finished one set of econs notes. so here she is taking a break! HAHA. :P

chari wants to share a story with u.

They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strength that gave them victory. It was by YOUR mighty power that they succeeded; it was because YOU favoured them and smiled on them (ps 44:3)

i guess the story i'm abt to share, some of u may hear it before, but i tink its jus another reminder frm GOD. :)) enjoy!

I know a frog who needed those verses. He had a real problem. His home pond was drying up. If he didnt find water soon, he would do the same. Word reached him of a vibrant stream over the adjacent hill. If only he could live there. But how could he? The short legs of a frog were not made for long journeys.

But then he had an idea. Convincing two birds to carry either end of a stick, he bit the center and held on as they flew. As they winged toward the new water, his jaws were clamped tightly. It was quite a sight! Two birds, one stick, and a frog in the middle. Down below, a cow in a pasture saw them passing overhead.

Impressed, he wondered aloud, "Now, who came up with that idea?" The frog overheard his question and couldn't resist a reply. "I diiiiii...."

well, obviously the frog fell. because he opened his mouth! here it is, DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE! "Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall" (proverbs 16:18). why are u good at what u do? for your comfort? for your self-esteem? NO. Deem these as bonuses, not as the reason. WHY you're good at what you do? BECAUSE, its all for GOD's sake. HE made u this way, HE gave u all these BONUSES. your success is not about what you do. It's ALL about HIM - His present and future glory. it's not about me, but ALL about YOU, JESUS!

i just wanted to remind you not to let pride rule over ur life. Do not be afraid to do something that show u love JESUS too, DONT let PRIDE be ur stumbling block!

in HIS love.
