From A Puppy..

Few weeks ago, there's this little puppy that was wandering around the condominium that is near my church. The Puppy is really really cute and it's golden brown in colour with "white socks". Some of us being so kind-hearted(or couldn't resist the puppy's charm) took him and put him under the wings of the youth group. We named the puppy Matty in remembrance of a youth intern that came for a year called Matthew McGee.

All of us loves that puppy a lot although some might deny that fact. Matty is just TOOO CUTTEEE! but it is really really a tough job taking care of it, it poops and pees in church and we have to clean it up. Besides that, we need to walk the dog quite frequently too. That's why we even have a "Matty Foundation" as a way to ease the pain of those taking care of Matty. However, I thank God for bringing Matty into our lives. I sincerely believe that there is always a purpose that God let things like that to happen.

I've been walking the dog quite some time, and i can tell you that Matty is one naughty dog. He doesn't follow where you go, he goes to dirty places and the worse is that it actually BITES AND EATS DEAD RAT! It sickens me to see him do that, there was once i got so angry that i pulled so hard that it actually did a somersault in the air. it breaks my heart to see Matty doing things that it shouldn't be doing because i know it isn't good for him. Everytime i drag him away from things that he isn't suppose to touch i know that he won't be happy with me, but everytime i let him go wherever he wants to go he'll end up in trouble. it's just a long long sigghhh..

I really wonder is that how God felt..sometimes.. He created us human beings and we are just like Matty. God knows what is good and bad for us, He is God, He knows it best. we have our own desires. Though God created these desires within us, but often we perverted all these desires. Satan tempts us, yes it is true.. but we are the ones that turn these cannons to the throne God is having and shoot at Him, rejecting God.. We are the ones that keep on rejecting God and eating all the dead rats on the road..

How good it is if we can realize what we are doing sometimes.. How good it is if Matty could understand what i say sometimes.. How good it is that we will follow God all the way and never follow our own lustful desires.. How good it is if Matty just keeps follow me and never runs away to eat rubbish.. God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. ALL things were created by Him and for Him.. God also promised us that all things works for good for those who loves Him and are called according to His purposes.. So don't follow your own desires if we know that it isn't for God's glory. For whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, we must do it for the glory of God.

For me, I would shout to Matty: "MATTY! NO NO NO! COME AND FOLLOW ME.. OBEY ME FOR I KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU.. DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO EAT RUBBISH AND EAT DEAD RATS?? THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS BETTER FOR YOU? I HAVE FOOD FOR YOU AND CLEAN WATER TOO.. COME MATTY.. FOLLOW ME AND LISTEN TO ME.."

SO WHAT WOULD GOD SHOUT TO US? LET US THINK AND REFLECT ON IT OURSELVES...
