Whilst i was still in secondary school the one question teachers would ask me before i go for camps and outing/ activities at the start of every year isWhether or not i have insurance?
The school needs to know what will happen and what to do if i got into an accident? will i be able to afford the medical fee. Will i get anythin if i suddenly lose a limb? what happens if i die?
the answer then was always: errr..i dont think so..i'm not insured. dont know why my mom didnt get me it then..with all the things you hear about unit trusts, i t does sound like a good deal :P
( not having things like NHS in the UK, kinda makes this necessary in msia?)
but today, my mom got me some. So i am insured.
Here's the thought:
now what? we pay money we get money when we need it.when we're in lack/disable.when we die. we save. we are always in need, we always lack something, we will eventually die.Insurance is useful and yet it still doesnt prevent us from the real issues we face. It only helps us deal with the effects of life. not life itself.
People don't NEED insurance. PEOPLE NEED ASSURANCE. Assurance that all their needs have been met. Assurance that there is no lack( satisfaction). Assurance of life even after death.
i have this assurance and i choose to spend my whole life telling others about it. I heard about it in good friday in 1999. It is the story of God loving his creation. Knowing us individually and still loving us unconditionally.

If you found today that somebody likes you, wont you want to know more about that person even if it's just for knowing sake...
hey gal, just a random reply to your last sentence. its cool. i just learnt this recently so i just thought of sharing. you know sometimes we try so hard to please God, to make him happy but then you begin to wonder whether he is really pleased with what you're doing...but if you turn it the other way around and think, its totally different. imagine your mum as an example. you buy her gifts, cook her meals, try to be good, make her happy and you have no doubts at all that she loves you since the day you're born - she brought you up, provided for you, took care of you when you were sick, etc. the fact remains that she loved you before you even love her. and its the same with God, think about all the things he has done for us, the time he was with us all the way through thick and thin, pain and joy, providing,blessing etc. and we'll come to realise he loved us before we even know him and no matter how hard we try to please him, it doesnt matter, HE STILL LOVES US!
