And now the day, where Americans will cast their votes to choose their next leader that will try to bring them across another milestone. i hope they will choose correctly.

It has been a good week. I'd got my new iphone! Made a deal with chaoky. He buy me iphone, i buy him nokia E66 as christmas present... hahaha... good deal...

Anyway, i shared during teen cell on friday on the pursuit of God in our lives. Many times, we pursuit but often on the wrong things. Jesus said in the beatitudes, "Blessed are those who thirst and hunger, for they will be satisfied" Very often, we focus on the thirst and hunger but what is more important here is satisfaction. When we thirst and hunger for the right things, then we will be satisfied. If we are not satisfied when we are thirsty and hungry, then we are on the wrong things. When we pursuit God and the things of God, He satisfy us in His promises.

When we pursuit Him, five different things happens.
1. We are more focus on a specific purpose
2. Pursuit cause us to be diligent
3. Pursuit energizes us with vision and desire
4. Pursuit stir your creative juices and abilities
5. Pursuit makes our live purpose-driven

How we pursuit determine our lives. This means that how our lives are depends on our pursuit. When we pursuit the things of the world, our lives then to be dull, stressful and often land in the bad day mode. But when our pursuit is on the things of God and on Him, then often it's being put in the blessing column. God always bless the people who pursuit Him with everything. When we put our whole life on pursuiting Him, He will make our paths straight and our hearts right. That's not a just a phrase, that is a blessing. God is in the business of blessing people. He's always waiting for us to discover our gifts and talents that He had put in us and when we discover it, He cause it to prosper and uses it for His glory.

Like the old saying... we'll only get God if we want Him.

God, make me all about You. make my pursuit of life be You and You alone...
