what makes u come alive?

Don't ask what the world needs
rather ask "What makes me come alive?"
cos what the world needs is people who are alive


one worship session at the US conference was led by latin americans n blacks. u noe lah... their worship style is not like what we see in the movies... was kinda hard to follow sometimes cos it's so impromptu... and they follow the worship leader. what caught me was one line which the worship leader sang and we echoed like a zillion times. the truth of it sang deep into my heart. the line was:

"I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive!"

sometimes we Christians live as if we were better of dead. yes we are supposed to live looking forward to heaven, but that doesn't mean we dun enjoy the journey getting there. and the effect of it is that non-Christians look at us n r not impressed by the way we live. we forget that Christ has made us alive. (nonwithstanding answering the question "what does being alive mean?")

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:4,5

Besides that, God has put within each of us a unique set of personality and characteristics, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. what do you enjoy doing? what is that which make u tick? that answer, my friend, need not be "reading the bible", or "telling others about Him"... no 'pharisee-like' model answers pls! if that's really your genuine answer fine. but answers like "drawing", "singing" are just as spiritual. the guy in the "chariots of fire" (whose name i can't recall now in this jet-laggedness!) said that he feels God smile when he runs. running makes him feel alive.

what makes u feel alive?
