Revival Is Needed

Have you ever wake up one day and feel really tired to go work at times?

(Not to mention school while skipping classes are such a norm to Jon during his time…)

Have you ever get tired of your favorite food at times?

Have you ever get tired of your favorite sport at times?

If you are married/attached, have you ever thought of needing some time to be alone, at times?

Have you ever wake up on Sun, you feel tired to attend church?

You want to work, but realized that there are piles of work undone… more will be coming…

You want to eat your favorite food, but the thought of problems you going to face in life makes you lost all appetite.

You want to play your favorite sport but realized that it will sap up the energy you will need to face the problems in life.

You want to spend time with your love ones but realize that the time spend can be better thinking of solutions for your problems.

You want to attend church, but knowing that after the “inspiring” 2 hours of preaching you will have to face reality again the next day.

If you are feeling this way, then you are not ALONE. Jon is experiencing all the above. It’s been 2 weeks since he missed church now. Lucky for him, there were valid excuses for him. Two weeks ago, Jon went for a break in KL. Last Sun, he had to attend his grandma’s 3rd year death anniversary.

All this happens for a GREATER reason, Jon reckons. Last Sun, while Jon was at his uncle’s house, he noticed a guitar sitting in his nephew’s (Kia Heng) room. Out of curiosity, he asked his Kia Heng when did he pick up guitar… to Jon’s SURPRISE, Kia Heng replied that he is learning from his church’s friend… Yes, Jon heard it right; CHURCH FRIEND!

Kia Heng has been attending church for a few weeks now. For your information, his father (Jon’s uncle) is actually a very stern and no-nonsense man. Used to be Jon’s and all his sibling’s “Discipline Master”. Yes, Jon was always been canned by him for poor results… hehee… He was the man who molded Jon for who he is right now. A very well respected figure. Kia Heng has been very afraid of his dad and a very obedient child. From young, Jon never hears Kia Heng talks back at his father nor would he do things that displease his father. Today, he has decided to be a Christ Follower. That’s a miracle for Jon.

God is doing a revival in Jon’s family. But Jon chooses to be a whiner to God. God is showing Jon He is mighty. But Jon chooses to focus on his problems. Jon needs to sort out his mind…

May all of you who have eyes to see this post and ears to hear Jon whines pray for him.
