God's gift to all mankind

Sometime ago, I read somewhere that life is God's test for us. For God so love us, He give us different gifts. That makes everybody different, special and unique. If you are reading this and think you are not achieving much in life, think again. Is there anything you can do so well, others can't? My friend, that is your gift from God. Use it well.

One of the greatest gift God give to all mankind is the ability to have our own thoughts. Personally, I believe this is also one of God's test for us. He wants to see how we use this gift. To think of the good of others or the bad... To choose to love or hate... To believe & trust or to deny & reject... and so much more.

I have been feeling very guilty about last Sunday. I was suppose to go for dragon boat training but I didn't as I was afraid I will fall sick after being in the rain. On Tuesday, I received an email from a teammate addressing the issue of training in wet weather. It is said that training will continue whether rain or shine. I felt ashamed of myself for being weak. I failed God's test for me. I didn't trust Him enough.

The very same day, at night, I was on facebook and I saw a negative comment by my player regarding their game the next day. Honestly, I felt disappointed. I always consider myself as a very positive coach and I expect my players to be so too. Yet, I fail to educate my players. Then it suddenly stucked me that I wasn't all very positive afterall since I decided not to attend dragon boat training due to wet weather. At that instant, I know I am my greatest setback.

Now, I am determine to pass God's test for me. I believe I can do all things in Christ who give me strength. No matter what happened, good or bad, I will accept it for I know it is not my will but His to be done.
