Do you love the world?

My friends, are you not tired of this world? Do you enjoy living in this world? Do you really love this fallen and wicked world? If you are not enjoying living in this world, let's shake hand, I feel the same too.

All things here is meaningless, chasing after the wind. When you slow down your pace, start looking around and thinking about what this life is all about, you will be surprise when you realize that you are going nowhere.

• Some of us just wasting our time being idled or busibodied without progress at all. My friends, you should differenciate between hardworking and diligently hitting your head on the wall. Maybe people see you as hardworker, but inside you, you have no idea what you are doing, where you are goind, etc. You have no purpose of living, no direction of going. You just follow the crowd and they also have the same problem like you. It is just like Israelites of olds, walking round and round in the desert for 40 years and they thought that they were becoming closer and closer to their goal which in fact, they went nowhere and just waited for death to come. Follow the crowd till death.

• Some of us think that we use time efficiently, we work without rest, 7x24 hours a week is not enough. We labor so much, we save a lot of money, we chose to abandon our eyes' pleasure, we just want to store and store our wealth, but we never realized that we will leave this world naked, bring nothing to eternity and we will leave all those we have toiled for to the one who come after us, and who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool. You worked hard for it, but he is the one who enjoy your labor.
• Some of us think that we are wise enough, we study hard, we have good grade, some of us put our eggs on different baskets, we invest in many sectors. But when economic crisis hit, great depression come, banks collapsed, future trading collapsed, your degree means nothing, nobody is able to hire you, you are too expensive for them. And if you are an investor, your money will just become like toilet tissue, all of your labor will just run waste. Are you not chasing after the wind?
• Some of us are pursuiting our heart desires, but what are they? Today we want A, then we work hard for that and finally we are able to buy it, but in short future we start feeling bored with A, then we start wanting B, bored, want another one again and again, until it reaches Z then come back to A again. We never get satisfied enough, all this life is just chasing after the wind.
• Some of us are trying to have more pleasure. But you just find that all of them just momentary. Cigarette is good only for 3 minutes, alcohol, drugs and sex are good only for quite some time, what else? Being on the top only give you satisfication for a while, just until somebody replace you. Your pride, your joy never last forever. Look at the cups that you have worked for, that you were so proud of them, they are now covered with dust and mean nothing.

Having all your eyes want is just chasing after wind, for if you see your cupboard, how many clothes that you have but you never wear them? if you see your storeroom, how many junks are there? You saw an advertisement about clothing, you go to the shop, though the cloth didn't suit you, but 10 of 10 of your friends said "good and it suits you", so you bought it, but in your heart you have no confident to wear it, and now that cloth hang in your cupboard untouched. It becomes waste of money, does it not?

You are trying to be someone else by having dual personalities, you just want the world to notice that you are alive. Many people are like that, they are wearing mask all days long. Their appearance looks good, looks strong, looks nice, but in their heart full of sorrow, pain, hatred, jealousy, they are so weak, but they don't want to show their weakness to anybody else, they think they should behave like the world, "no place for the second", they thought. Pride and hypocrisy surrounded you.

Are not all things wearysome, more than one can say? The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:8-9).

It seems that all the people in the world are exaltly running like mouse in the wheel. We thought we running fast, but in fact, we just make ourselves exhausted without any progress at all. People work for food, food for health, health for work and it goes round and round until we die. People finished their problem today, tomorrow they will face another problems, problems solved and problems come again and again. All this life is just full of problems and troubles. Born, grow up, go to school, go to university, look for job, build a family, try to be comfy, get old, and die. That's the phases that most of the people in the world do, and each phase has their own problems and troubles. Are you not tired of this life, my friends? Why you keep trying to figure out this life by your own strength? How long can you still carry your own burden without any help from others? What is your purpose of living?

Can't you see that people around us are so funny and foolish? They are glad in doing evil, they behaving like beast, not human being. They cheat people, oppress people, harm people. They are just selfish, ruthless, senseless, heartless and faithless. No love, no mercy, no justice, no forgiveness. We can see all of bad stuffs around us. We see people living in poverty when some other live in palace, just because they are born like that. But this is our world, our fallen and wicked world. I wonder if somebody can love this world so much?

If you think that I am trying to make you hopeless, honestly speaking, that's my intention. I want you to see and start thinking, what are you doing in this world? I have asked this question to lot of people, and most of them seem even don't know what they are doing. They life for today, they are short-sighted, they don't know what to do, just follow the crowd. No ambition, no confident, no faith, no hope, and just trying to be like the world.

My friends, if your age right now 25 years old, the same like me, and assume that you will live until 75 years old, what will you do for the rest of 50 years? Life is already difficult and it would be more and more difficult. Until when you will continue wearing mask, my friends? Are you not tired doing that? You really need help, my friends. You are not as strong as your appearance.

Why don't you start asking for help? Do you know that God loves you and want to help you? If you trust and put your faith in Him, if you surrender all to Him and allow Him to have free course in your life, your life will never be the same again, heaven will come down to this fallen and wicked world, you will see things differently. Your heart are fully satisfied. Your life will be full of noise. You will be just different person.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made by Him. In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble (2 Timothy 2:20). You have your own purpose, either for noble or ignoble. Or if you see your body, eyes to see, ear to hear, mouth to speak, etc, we also have different role and nobody can do better than us for we are specially designed by God for His work. Each of us has divine purpose of living from God. The fact that we don't know what it is, is because we never ask Him, we don't even know Him, but He is our Creator.

As human put wisdom in making chair for its purpose to be able to hold people who sit on it, God also put His wisdom in making us, there is no one in this world who has the same thumb-print like us, genes, DNA, even between twins. It would be stupid if you don't appreciate what He has done in making you, plastic surgery or botox, etc is just another wearing mask. Are you not tired of this deception? Why don't you ask God to show you what He wants you to do? Why you are here?

He is our Father in heaven, hit our knee, start asking questions to Him with all of our heart and He will answer, seek, ask and knock and you will be satisfied. Some of us can't feel God's Presence because we have mountain of sins, we are sinner but God is holy. God hide His face from us, we need to repent and ask His forgiveness, believe in His Word who became flesh, Jesus Christ or you will be looking for answer that can only be found in Him. He is the way, the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father, except through Him. Go and ask His help, He has waited for so long and very much willing to help you.

"The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved (Romans 10:8-10).

If you are tired of this world and hate this world, you are most likely love by God, He will do something and use you greatly. For the Bible said, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever (1 John 2:15-17).

I just want to tell you that life without God is meaningless and the more you hate the world, the more you will be loved by God. What you need to do is this: Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up (James 4:7-10).

Ephesians 5:15-17

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

God bless you
