This Easter, I don't want to forget what I came into this kingdom for. Faith as a foundation where everything else - qualities, virtues, morality - are built upon. Notice that faith is different from the faithfulness among the fruits of the spirit. It is through faith that all these things can be achieved. I came here because my life will be directed in only one direction, and this direction is made perfect in every circumstance. Distractions may come by once in a while, but with prudence, my ground is fortified.

Some people pray for things to change, for circumstances to work for their good. "Oh God please make the bus come earlier." , "...make the GP paper easy!!!" , "...bless us with plenty of harvest." They won't come. The GP paper won't change. The sky won't rain upon you and flood your neighbours. When we want change, we need to change for the better. The bus may come earlier this time round, the GP paper may seem easier, the harvest may come. But are we gonna be stuck in the same situation all the time? Pray for the change in our hearts, our ways of life, and for the qualities and virtues to be strong in us. Because we are vessels for these changes, and the kingdom cannot move on without us making the first step. Pray for patience and time management, so that the wait for the bus seems shorter. Pray for focus during the test, so that our minds can think clearly. Pray for courage, so that we will bring in the harvest!

That is the way of progress, of self and of mankind.
