The Return

After going through something of which I would call a true physical struggle in finding time for God. In my time of working at OCBC Bank, I am truly thankful to God for the great and simple life he has given me. In my 6 weeks of working, it was truly a difficulty to find strength to spend time in prayer. Its was not just because of work but also because the many commitments I had at nights like tuitions, church meetings or planning for some church event or session. There was absolutely no time at all for rest of mind or prayer. It was like there was not enough time for anything at all. And I think it’s been the first time in my life when I’ve had to really plan out my day to the very hour. It was a mixture of both excitement & stress on my mind, but more on the stress.

But I am so happy with my vocation as a student. It has truly been a chance to appreciate people & time. And the even better news for me is that my school schedule is quite slack and also for the first time, it’s a 4-day week school schedule. Praise God! What a difference I must say in terms of free time.

But I will accept that the past 6 weeks have not been a waste of time but I have learnt how much less I want money and how much more I want God.

And there’s been so many times when I have asked myself this question,

“Mark, would you give up all that money that you’ve earned?”

And every single time, without hesitation, I am always answering a full YES! I guess maybe God has brought me through this experience to spread to the world that God is the only way to having a fulfilling life.

So to all hearts who feel like there’s no reason to hold, let go of whatever it is that you are holding onto and come to Jesus! Praise God!


PS: The joyful & happy Mark Sebastian Abraham is back. Thanks Lord Jesus!
