“.. to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. ” – Eph 3:19

 How are you to live to the fullness of God? Does it mean having lots of money? Gaining power? Fame? Joyful family? Having no problems at all in life?

I always thought about this. How am I to live to its fullness. Then my leader preached one day and he asked us one question: “Is it possible for a man to never get sick and have problems?”

What’s your answer?

As a faithful man, who believes the unbelievable (Heb 11:1), that is shown through my interest in magic, okay I’m getting off topic here.. but of course my immediate answer at that time was “Yes!” and I have not hestitation in saying that.

But the fact is: I still get sick, I’m still not the richest man, I still have problems.

Then, my friend shared something I should’ve realised ages ago. He said it’s possible if we have a positive attitude. Well, how are you to have a positive attitude and not get sick, be rich and have no problems? The answer is

STOP COMPLAINING!!

• Imagine this, getting ill, and you see it as a blessing. A time to rest, which means our body are getting over its limit and we need to give it a rest. Or however you want to look at it as a positive thing.
• Seeing yourself as the richest man! Even though you don’t have the materials/money you need, but you with your life is already what it’s meant to be. You get what you really need, you’re still alive, and the fact that you are not on the side of the road begging for money.
• Seeing problems as a training centre. I see it as an energy drink. It boost my spirit and gets me closer to God and surely it makes me stronger.

I lost my iPod the other day.. and instead of complaining, I tried to see this as the opportunity to trust God. He will provide me with a better blessing. He is not too poor not to bless me because He already said it that He desires us to live life to its fullness.
