Faith and relationship

Relationship is everything, it is too subjective?! Why I say that? Do you know that in this world, everthing that you see or touch, everybody you meet, every event you are involving, there is a relatioship between you and the other parties.
If you still cannot understand, let me show you. Why you can wake up at 7am? It is because your alarm clock ring at that hour. Then I ask you further.. is the alarm clock exist by itself? NO right? yup..definitely, so...someone XXX invented it..so this person has form a relationship with you....Actually it means he or she has done something that will cause you to wake up in the morning. However, you need to make a decision also, to get and use the alarm clock. What I mean is everthing you decide or did, seen or not seens it will surely have a relatioship with another parties.
Let us consider this in a deeper manner, the interesting about relationship is ...it takes two active parties.
? Can you see the invented of the clock
? Then can I trust his invention
? Can you see God
? Then can I trust him
? How come I buy or trust
All this seems like very normal thing we practice in our routine, actually we are using our faith. You have faith in the inventor and have trust in using the clock. This faith base on somebody like your parents or friends told you that the clock can be trusted. So you find out that, because you have the 1st relationship with your parents that cause you to trust in what he or she said, bring you to a 2nd realtioship which he or she introduced it to you which he or she who practice faith on it.
Now, can you appreciate "Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God"?
"Faith is the substance of things hope for, is the evidence of things not seen"?
May GOD wisdom and revelation be shown to you according to His grace!

I am standing in front of the "wang pu" river, in front of me was the river and some of the old building opposite the river bank. Some of the cargo ship passing one by one...with different kind of speed and sound, and some passenger cruise with beautiful light decorated the whole boat, this kind of cuiser will give very loud sound.."booo" when there are approching the shore or turning a new direction. The wind is blowing at my direction, a lot people was around me... there was a young men singing some cantonese songs.
Suddenly, this feeling has brought me back to my childhood, I still can remember one of the days when I was seaching some of the postcards at my grandmother room. I saw those beautiful scenery ..the ship with all sorts of beautiful light and the old building..like "Shanghai Tai", in my heart, i told myself one day i want to be there.
Now, i standing there, the feeling is like ...ermm..you know is like dreaming. Nothing very special anyway, just other place that people have some leisure time where tourist have their time passed.
What I want to tell is, at different point of time, we thought that is the thing we want, if i am there, it will be great or I may hve achieve something. However, When you are there, you will just feel that it is nothing special a all. Just like lo...like most Malaysian express themselves. A lot of time, we want to feel good, we thought this something will definately make me feel good or a sense of fulfilment.
Think about it...for me I have come to a conclusion...life without involving God is meaningless. It is just repeating some activities that most people that had been, have been or is being done in the history or present.
May God bless You!
