Breathe
Yesterday I really had a fun-filled day. Went rollerblading with KL and his 2 other church mates at East Coast. As I haven't been blading for a long long time, I struggled to keep myself from falling...while others were gliding ever so gracefully and enjoying the breeze & scenery. Fell lotsa times...crossing the bumps, going up & down the slopes, crossing uneven paths and dodging cyclists/pedestrians. As I was blading quite slow, the rest had to wait for me and looking out for me...in case you know... I fall. I felt quite bad as I delayed everybody's time, almost wanted to give up after so many falls. KL said something that kinda spurred me on...he said this:" hiyah, we are not competing with each other, moreover who doesn't fall?" It applies to my spiritual life, I fell so many times and it is because of the "Barnabases" and the "Onesiphoruses" in my life that encourages me, pick me up and continue on the journey. This is how God shows His love towards me. Throughout the whole journey...all of them were blading on par with me and ready to be my 'clutch' when I'm about to fall.
I realised that after so many falls, I begin to get the flow of rollerblading...I got better and better. Falls either make you or break you. The worst fall of day was when a pro roller-blader glide so fast and almost collide into me from behind. KL grab my hands and we turned 360 degrees before I landed on my bum. But thank God lah... it could have been worse.
Recently, I learned how to do plucking on this song "Breathe". One night, just me, God and my guitar...I played this song. I see myself living in a very polluted enviroment, struggling to breathe. Desperate for a breath of fresh air. It's really a struggle everyday for me...struggle to be efficient in work, struggle to wake up early, struggle not to conform to the world's standards, struggle to stay awake while reading His Word, struggle to read His Word, struggle to be a testimony to the world, I even had to struggle in church! I felt that I've uproot myself from church...I struggle to serve...I struggle to flow with God's family. All those struggles really choke me. Thank God that by His grace and mercy I am able to breathe in His Spirit and partake His daily bread. I'm not at Home yet, there bound to be struggles. But His Spirit and His Word sustains my sanity living in this polluted world. God is as essential to us as the fresh air we take in each day. If not more...
This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me
And I, I'm desperate for You
And I, I'm lost without You.

Just yield to the Holy Spirit all the time. Practise, practise and practise and you will also rollerblade gracefully in the Spirit, and lees and less struggles.
