Do you know ____ ?

During this birthday I've been thinking over quite a number of things, about academically, 5 year plan, getting attached, relationships, and growth. One of the things that hit me about getting attached is about knowing G. As I grew up as a youth, one of the things that seemed to me back then was that I had to be a super good christian in order to get attached. Most of you newer people wouldnt understand that because things have opened up so much. I must admit as a 16,17 year old back even back then, I couldnt comprehend why it was that way.

Even till now I think to myself, is it really that difficult to get attached? Is it really that difficult to come face to face with relationship issues with the opposite sex? Most people would 'um.. I dunno' and adopt an evasive attitude towards it. But I doubt that should be the way. As much as you are comfortable with it, it should be shared with the people you are comfortable with. I guess one of the reasons why I am quite reluctant to do so is because of the gossip that people carry around. I recall sharing about who I have had quite a good impression of, who is pretty, etc. Eventually I dont know how it got misinterpreted as 'Kenneth likes ____.' And best of all, it spreads faster than the winds blowing across the earth.

Many have told me I am very eligible. Yet some ask me, 'why you havent get attached yet?' Well, maybe its because I havent got to know her yet. Maybe its because I need to go out and meet people? I think the important thing is to strike a balance between knowing people, and knowing G. I could be the ultimate socialite, but yet when it comes to knowing G, cant say much. Just know the blood of Christ washed your sins, attend cell group, service, bible study, full stop.

Who is this G that we religiously/faithfully worship and serve?

I am sure even in the olden times, the people wondered, Who is this invisible G? They probably also asked realistic questions like how do I know G is speaking to me? How is it possible to speak in tongues? Amongst the 12 disciples, only 3 of them could be said that they knew J. Yes, the other disciples were serving, powerful ministers..yet they were not intimate enough. I'm sure that when the multitudes came and the thousands were added to the church,

they didnt care if this G was a person or not.
nor did they didnt care if the church had imperfect people.
nor did they care about the problems they had before they stepped in.

All it took was a step of faith and a single experience.

And it got them hooked for the rest of their lives.

On my 17th/18th birthday, I wished for wisdom. Wisdom not only to place value on the right things at the right time, but what is right AND important. So it would be my honour, to spend the rest of my life knowing G, rather than spending all my life searching for a partner and lose my soul.
