A girl was lamenting her examination results. She could have done better if only she had started her revision earlier, but it was all too late now. The results were set in stone for this round. Hopefully, she learnt her lesson and start preparing for the next examination early.
Interestingly her lamenting including things like blaming herself for spending too much time on her social media and watching useless videos on her phone. Well, is that not something that we already know?
Actually, there are many good things that we know within ourselves and they are not that difficult to do. It merely takes discipline for us to do it and become successful. Also, we know, and probably been warned of all the temptations along the sides, of the way to do everything correct. But more people seem to do everything that they are warned not to do instead of what they should not be doing. Weakness of the flesh.
It is important for those who want to succeed in what they are doing to start doing at the earliest possible moment, mainly NOW. Just like NIKE would say it, ‘Just Do It.’ There is not a moment to lose. Tomorrow is too late already.
If you want to start to have a good spiritual life, start changing. Read the bible and pray everyday already. Don’t start tomorrow, as tomorrow never
comes. If you want to have faith, then start believing. Do not wait for an event to have faith, start believing today. Create the future is the best way to know it. The future starts today, not tomorrow.
So! Whether we want to succeed in the physical or spiritual, we have to start now. We do not want to knock on heaven’s door when it is too late. We may not have a chance then. Believe in Jesus while he can still be found. When the door is shut, it will be useless to cry.
Brothers and sisters, it’s now or never; spread the gospel to all your loved one. Do not lose any of them to procrastination. Live eternal life now.
God bless,

有一位女生正在为自己的考试成绩哀伤。如果她可以提早开始复习,应该能作得更好,但是现在一切都已经迟了。这一轮的成绩已成定局。希望她吸取教训并为下一次的考试提早作准备。
有趣的是,她的哀伤中也包括了埋怨自己花费太多时间在她的社交媒介,以及用手机观赏无用的视频。确实,这些我们在之前不是已经知道的吗?
其实,在我们之内还有很多有益的事物是不难去做的。主要是需要有纪律的去作以取得成功。另外,我们知道,也可能曾经被警告,在通往正途的这一路上会出现所有的试探。但大部份的人似乎会作所有他们被警告不可行的事,甚于他们不应当作的事。肉体的软弱。
对于那些想要在自己所作的事上取得成功的人来说,在可行的时段越早开始是重要的,主要就是现在。就如耐克(NIKE)所说的‘Just Do It’。没有时间败下阵来。明天就已经太迟了。
如果你要拥有一个美好的属灵生命,就开始改变。应该每天查阅圣经和祷告了。不要等到明天才开始,因为这样的明天不会来到。如果你要有信心,那么就开始相信。不要等待任何事件以建立信心。今天就开始相信。
所以!无论我们是要在身体上或属灵上成功,我们都需要现在就开始。我们不要在敲打天堂大门的时候才发现太迟了。到时我们可能就没有机会了。在耶稣还可以被寻见的时候就相信祂,当大门被关上,哀哭也于事无补了。
弟兄姐妹,就是现在抑或永无机会;向所有你爱的人传福音。不要因为耽延而失去任何一位。现在就活出永恒的生命。
上帝赐福,
主里同工的,
