Christmas Gift Part Three

So this is Christmas, and what have you done ?

This question keeps in my mind every Christmas. Remind me that I will be older for one year more. And my time is shortened one year less. So what is the purpose of my life ?


May be all of us know about Rick Warren, the author of the famous book, Purpose of Driven Life. If you have never read it, I suggest you to go to the store and look for this book. 

But even I read a good book, it was nothing if I did not do something. As John Lennon sang about Happy Christmas, in my personal opinion, if he had just sang a legendary song, it was nothing. 

So, all of motivators, priests, many wise men, say that the end of the year is the right time to evaluate what we have done. And to make a better plan for the future. A plan is only a good plan if we do nothing. 

I remember my  idealistic dream, when I was a Christian baby at 1998. By God's grace, I was called as His child, as the first of family member. I pray for my sisters, my parents, my friends, did some evangelistic movements as a student. When I saw nothing happened, I felt hopeless. My prayer soon became flat and daily routinity only. But God has never slept.

My twin sisters, then my youngest sister became God's servant when they went to college. And God at least answered the most impossible part, my parent's repentance.

At Christmas 2006, my father take a surprising but pleasant action. He went to the church. And soon, he accepted Jesus Christ as his own Savior. Through away all the darkness things from my house. 

If yesterday I told some stories about sick parents, now I want to tell my self something very important.

God is good is really an undeniable fact. But to experience it, you must stand persistant in God's way of life. 

And trust me, it is not always as easy as it said.
