A Car Park Story


This is very simple story but have deep message for me.
Car parks in my block has top 10 favourite spots ("VIP") which is located near our lift lobby and many residents including me like to eyeing this spots because for the convenience sake. As usual yesterday after we came back from dinner, we got "VIP" spot because we came back early. But I knew that one hour later I needed to pick TR up meaning I might not be able to get in to this favourite spot again.

True enough, just after I stepped out from the lift lobby, I saw a shadow of light in the carpark, there's car was looking for the available "VIP" spots and seem that all are occupied, they were just about to go. On that moment, I had an intention to wait after the car has gone then I got into my car but on the second thought, I told myself that it's public car park anyway, every one pays the same rate and we have no right to keep it for ourselves so I just got into the car and that car turned back and waited for me to leave and occupied this spot.

After coming back from picking him up, I thought that the chance would be very slim to get into favourite spot since it's weekday and it's almost late, but I told myself, never mind, I just tried my luck.
In my surprise, there's a car that's going to leave from one of the favourite spots even tough it's not the same spot. I was amazed and exclaimed, God provides back !

From this incident, God is like speaking to me that sometimes we love ourselves to be attached into something that we don't really own. Our materials, children, job, power, fame are not ours. But we love to hold it tightly and don't want to let them go.
If we learn to understand that everything in this world is temporary and learning to let go and share with others, God will surely provide back whatever we need.
Sometimes God speaks in unexpected way in our daily life.
And it's just coincidence with yesterday's words of God from 1 Cor 7 : 30 - 31

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
