Reason

[wow so long no post, let me revive it =)]

Why do we want certain things so badly? I guess it's mainly these few...

1) self satisfaction
2) recognition
3) comfort
4) for the fun of it

During one of my Economics lesson, my teacher tested us. Why do you study Economics? Then few answers came out... Then later he told us something that really made sense. The more reasons you have to do something, the easier it becomes.

Just like you work hard in your career, because you have a family to support, you want to buy nice stuff for yourself, you want to do charity, you want to keep it in the bank to get interest, you want to use it to invest in shares to earn greater money, whatever.

With all these reasons, we're driven to accomplish something or just attempt it, even though its difficult, tedious, and maybe near impossible. Our reasons become our driving force...

Let's take a look at Jesus... He died for us, died for God's purpose in us... One reason, JUST 1 REASON!!! yet he did something so great, so as to give up his life...

We are the reason
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
With all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

We are the reason
That He gave His life
We are the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

pay attention to the lyrics... we WERE the reason, that jesus gave his life for, and we still ARE =)
though 1 reason of jesus's compared to our many many uncountable reasons to do things may seem pathetic, but its a powerful one. Because, the reason is for God...

Though doing things FOR God is just one reason, but it is a very powerful reason... much more powerful than any reason... Why? Cos besides being our driving force, God also gives us strength, and many other blessings. So in whatever we do, let God be the first reason you do things, followed by any other minor reasons you have =)

Cheers =)
