Ever thought where did life come from, or even how precious, yet fragile life could be?
As a child, I remember, I always wondered how did life come about, as in how amazing a human body can be created with such intricacies. And how did the person who created human knew that the body has to developed in such and such a way. Of course then, I never heard or knew God, and never was I ever able to imagine that the human could be formed with such perfection. And as I write this, I know very well that God has just created us, and He even knows every single hair that we have on our body.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:30-31
That's just very much where life come from, and the very fact that God has created us makes it clear that we belong to God, the creator of life. As He gives, He can take it away as well, of course not in a bad way, but just as how Enoch walked with God, and He walked no more. And I believe in recent events in life it has caused me to continue to ponder upon life, and how urgent it is for us to continue to do the work of God until Christ returns. Despite being a phlegmatic, I am not just wanting to wait till something happens before I respond, but I want to be ready, and prepared when whatever happens, happens. One thing that really struck me
is when our brother Zion, out of his generous and brave heart, lost his life to save another person. And hearing the testimonies of his parents and friends around, made me realise that it is so important to make sure that every person, every life that we are in contact with, it may be that one and only time, that we should try to make a Godly impact and influence upon them that they may remember it. Because you do not know how God can use us in those times to draw people one step closer to Him.
Life is such a miracle and gift from God, and yet at the same time, with it being so fragile, that we should never hold on too tight to it, because there is a greater eternal life that God has promised us. And as well, with it being so precious, we should never waste it away doing things that will not draw us closer to God. And further, to realise that because it is so fragile, let's make every effort that we can to bring the good news of eternal life to others out there that do not know it yet. My prayer to God is that "God, help me to grow in you, and draw closer to you daily, and as that is my desire, may you help me to see deeper into your heart, that I may grow in a greater desire to want to bring your eternal life unto others as well." It is not enough to just be a good testimony, we need to bring the truth, we need to bring God's love even more.
