27th July 2006

Wow, for today's offering message, it is definitely amazing. It is such a coincidence with today's sermon. The topic is about the dark valleys of life. And I am going to talk about the struggles we are facing through. God is amazing. He really fills me with awe.

Today's offering message:

Tonight, I would like to begin with a story. A story of a boy who is struggling with the issues of life. Since young, he has been feeling emotionally insecure. He had many relationships. However, his relationships tended to be short-lived. Friends joked that he is a cassanova. ( a play-boy). But they din know that each comment that they made hurt him more n more. He has a very good female friend and usually asked her why he always suffer. Are relationships not for him? Each time, this friend would reply that there is a time for everything. Soon after, he is a Christian now. Is he struggling with emotions? Still very. But how is he coping with them? It is better. Before, he contemplated about suicide and wondered whether anyone likes him. Now, he knows that that God loves him and his friends around him loved him.

Friends, this offering is about struggle. Everyone of us all struggle with life. To give or not to give. To love or not to love. To forgive or not to forgive. To forget or not to forget. You might struggle to give the best offering you have ever had. Last week, you might give five dollars. This wk, let me challenge you to give six dollars. Week after week, you are depending more and more on God. And that is what struggle in life is all about. Fulfill your destiny in life by overcoming the struggles.

Before I end off, I would like to say that attitude towards giving is all in the mind, not by circumstances.
