"Are you guilty of indulging in earthly possessions or splurging yourself with materialism? Are you holding any grudges? Do you have worries you cannot surrender?"
- Stella



If someone were to ask me if I'm guilty of indulging in earthly possessions and what not, then my answer would be YES. I mean, I know it's wrong and stuff, but it's during the Great Singapore Sale, where practically everything's a steal, and besides, the GST hike starts today, so....I know it's still wrong to keep wanting more stuff, but I guess spending money shopping retail therapy is another outlet for me to relieve stress.



If you were to ask me if I'm holding grudges, then the answer would be YES. I am one person who has a tendency to bear grudges against people who have pissed me off, stepped all over me and annoyed me to no end. Not only do I bear a grudge against that person, I sometimes go out of my way to make sure that he or she sufferes the same shit things which he or she has done to me. In other words, I'm rather vindictive.



If anyone were to ask me if I have worries that I can't surrender, the answer would also be a resounding YES. I believe many people have some worries which, no matter how hard they try, can't seem to give up. It's as if they get some sadistic pleasure in torturing themselves with worrying. For me, worrying is like second nature. I tend to worry about a lot of things, and sometimes, these worries extend to the future.

"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to"

Isn't it worrying? After you read a passage, analyse it, and then see how it plays a part in your own life? Like Stella said, I highly doubt I'd be able to go in through the narrow door, because of all the baggage I'm carrying.

I think this is my wake up call to start living a better Christian life, by changing the way I behave and react to certain problems, to stop being taken in by worldly wants, and to start living according to the way God wants us to live our lives, so that we can, and are able to get through the narrow door without any problems.
