Lessons from the egg and pan of the day:P

I've been reading Clayton King's blog for the pass few days. He is an evangelist if i am not mistaken and preached to many many many people on earth. I am really impressed sometimes that God can actually use such a young kid and groom him to be such a fine man of God. Anyways, a part of it inspires me to begin to look all around me every moment, and to think what is God trying to tell me through it.. So this morning i prayed that God would show me something. I pray that God would give me the right discernment to put in things i should and give me grace to do His will.

When i reach back home today, after getting settled down. I was asked to prepare my own lunch. Usually i do not fry omelet especially if i am just eating sandwiches. but i guess i just can't help it but to give in to my stomach and my desires. so i heat up this tinny little special frying pan. This frying pan is my favorite pan because it always gives me a perfect egg in a perfect circle shape. lol sounds kiddy but it is true.

So i heat the pan up and put in some oil, break the egg and as i try to put the egg onto the pan, i didn't know that it was too hot that i couldn't help it but to drop the whole egg on to the pan. I was like "OH NO!!" i hate it because i lost my perfect egg in a perfect shape and the yolk burst. I became so dissatisfied with it that as soon as i am done frying it, i decided to fry another one just because i am not satisfied not getting that perfect omelet that i was suppose to get by using this pan.

So i did the same thing again and make sure it wasn't too hot. so i break the egg again and put it into a bowl so i won't drop it. I was so sure that it will come out nicely this time. But guesss what? the pan drop from the stove this time and the whole egg spilled because the pan was too small to stable itself on the stand. I became so angry at that pan that i even just turn off the gas and throw the remaining egg on my plate and just throw the pan into the basin with my chopsticks angrily. Back of my mind thinking that, the frying pan is just so stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid and STUPID!(not a good attitude at all).. although everything should be blamed on me, but i was just very dissatisfied because it failed to fulfill it's purpose.. IT FAILED TO FULFILL IT'S PURPOSE..

And it was then, that I came to my own sense and asked myself. Did i fulfill my purpose here on earth?.. I was at school telling my friend that we should not just think about the "not-to-do list" but also the "to-do list"..now that as i think back..hmm..i wonder is it just my tummy or is it God that made me fry that omelet to make me realise or to remind me of something bigger.. How many times had we fail? How many times had we not fulfill our purpose? We are created for a purpose, and how many times we had failed fulfilling that purpose i wonder.. and most importantly.. How would God feel?

I couldn't help it but to feel broken-hearted because of who i am. Not just that i didn't fulfill my purpose here on earth, to do what God wants me to do. There are so many times where i lost my battles. I couldn't even keep myself from doing things God doesn't want me to do. So many time I do not dare to even lift my eyes to God, because i know that, I am failure, I failed to live a life that fulfills my whole purpose here on earth.

But thank God again and again. For His Grace, His Mercy, and HIS LOVE! HIS LOVE! Being a just God He can't just let sin slip away from His eyes. But YES THANK GOD that Jesus LOVE us so much that He WILLINGLY.. HE WILLINGLY came down to bring us hope. No greater love has there ever been. And through that sacrifice He made, we are made right with God. WE are forGIVEn.. And through Jesus, only am i able to live a life that He wants me to live..

We are created for a purpose, We are ALL created for a PURPOSE. Just as that frying pan was suppose to give me a perfect omelet. Just as the keyboard is suppose to let me type in these words. All things are created by Him and FOR Him. We are all created to fulfill a purpose, and i know that purpose is to glorify God. And we are not making God any bigger than He is when we say we glorify God. Who are we to make God any bigger anyways? We are like a telescope trying to see how big God is though we could never fully comprehend His beauty and majesty and glory. We are all CREATED for a PURPOSE. Let us strive to fulfill it. I thank God for His grace and mercy, I pray that we will all able to live a life that is worth the calling, I know that there will be times that we fall, but let us not stop ourselves from getting up again and again and fighting each of our battles even harder.

Lord Jesus, I just pray that You will forgive us when we fail You,.. Truly truly we thank You Lord, for your great love for us. And your grace and mercy too.. I pray that You will give us strength to do Your will.. I pray that we will start fulfilling our purpose here on earth even more as we grow closer to You.. Lord, Here we are, Made by You and FOR You and You alone.. Thank YOu Lord Jesus, In the name of Jesus that we pray.. AMEN
