Getting to know the Bible: Day 2

''I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.''
John 6 v 35




satisfaction.
where do you get it from?
I guess we spend our whole life trying to find that thing thats suposed to make you happy.
for some people its marriage, children, friends, money, work. material things.
many people would say that winning the lottery would solve all their problems.
what did the people in Jesus' time want?

why is life so complicated now? there is so much technology. we spend all our time in front of a screen, whether it's the TV, computer or mobile. i see technology slowly seeping into our everyday life and taking over our relationships and time. i have a better relationship with my computer than with the people that i live with. i have even started to realise this with the people who i regularly visit. a couple of years ago, i used to visit them and things were simple. we would just sit and chat. despite the language barrier. now, i help them with facebook. we spend our time staring at the laptop screen.

who am i? i am once again finding myself in a lost state of mind.
i actually feel lonely.
i have never really felt like this before.
not until now.

however, funny things do happen. i went out with hui and her boyfriend for dinner. prayed that i would get some chance to share the gospel with them. not that i knew what to say. ended up that they brought the subject of religion up and we chatted freely. thank you God that i know so many muslims that i understand a bit. her bf said that he was interested in visiting a church! haha...even Hui hasnt been to our proper church service before. may be there is chance that we can go to church together, and it wasn't even my suggestion.....doesn't God work in miraculous ways, in the ways that we least expect.
