THE CRAPPER SPEAKS

Call me silly or what you wish. wahahahaha, I'm a testimony of foolish joy.I used to wonder how come people can keep a smile on their faces inspite and despite everything they go through. Well, I haven't exactly found their reason why, but I've found my own reason why; I don't want to be a wasteful person. 60 secs to scowl, frown, pout, rail, simmer, then turn around and smile. There are way too many things to worry or be sad about. We only have 24 hours each day, how many are we going to spend without any profit? Give thanks to up our feel-good factor, then devote the rest of the time to building a reason to be happy.
I am an extremely egoistic person. When someone shouts at me, I start to get angry at the abuse. When circumstances turn darker, I start to despair. When I don't get the response I seek, I become discouraged. And when I think back, why am I the centre of my attention?
Way back I used to look at peoples' discouraged MSN nicks and feel for them, but it didn't get anywhere. Then I found Jesus and started to wonder why they didn't find Him. A few months later I started to encourage these people. I realised after a while it didn't work out; I ain't ultraman or something; I couldn't encourage all of them. Now I just feel like living my life as best as I can; with Jesus, so that I can show them that encouragement comes from Him.
But this is different from putting a false front. People can sense a pretense. Rather, be happy because you truly
get it, and don't hide it within when you do.
I guess some practical pointers to start with would be to:
1. Give up your grudges
2. Desire to desire to have
3. Envision a positive goal
4. If you want to do it, do it to the best!
There's something mysterious about Jacob. I'm going to study him. :D
