What's Your Life Story About?


I received my Daily Bread copy a few days ago and thought that the letter attached for Friends of RBC is well written.:). It was related to the sermon which Ps Melvin talked about last Sunday..hahha...honestly speaking,i dint copy down anything and i can only remember one of the points about " we are not the owners, but we can be good managers".

A quick recap was: The parable told by Jesus in Matthew 25:14-30 basically was about how a wealthy man entrusted his servants with his property and finally only two of the servants put them into good use while the other one was just waiting for his return.
In today's context, basically, we are to ask ourselves whether the things that the Lord has given to us (e.g talents, time, treasures) are well invested for His glory? Or,are we still waiting ...and.....waiting (silently or selfishly) for Him to perfect our lives before we dare to do our part?

i remember this is a common story told which also leads to a common challenge given to us... Somehow, everybody knows in their mind how to response to such common story.But i was captivated by the RBC letter which put it this way.

Imagine the Lord says,
"Each of those stories u read in the Bible told you something about ME and something about yourself.....THAT'S AS MUCH AS I WANTED YOU TO KNOW! I didnt give u the Bible to answer all your questions so that you can stop searching me....I was more interested in telling you stories that would help you to "discover Me"......in your own unique way...."

Father, forgive me for taking stories in the Bible for granted. Please grant me Your word of knowledge so that i can discover You, as well as, myself on each new day...You have told us enough through Your Word; teach me how to respond now.
