You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I was sitting in class today folding paper cranes with my form class well this is their post exam activity, crane folding for charity. Apparently for a number of cranes they fold, it can be exchanged for rice for the less privileged people. Well we have to do that for 3 hours and the teachers that were supposed to come and take over didnt come so i sat there talking and folding with my students. Needed some entertainment so brought along my ipod mini at the request of my student for some wants to listen to worship song. My ipod mini is ancient already coz it is no longer in production and as i looked at the mp3 i remembered the joy i had when i first got it after receiving my first tuition pay.

It took me a very very long time to decide on getting this ipod mini for it was a sweeping $350 dollars. Preciously most of the things were bought under my parents' contribution like laptop , discman etc and this is the first time i worked very hard to earn the money. I was on yahoo auction everyday checking if there is any cheaper offer , talking to my friends to enquire about the product and did lots of research to make sure the money i am parting with is going into something worthwhile. So when i first received the pink ipod mini from the seller i was overwhelmed with great excitement. Nothing was better than this , i took great care of it.

I had lots of things, FM receivers, discman, walkman, mp3 but nothing was ever so awesome as flashing out my ipod mini, not just because it was a pretty little thing. The reason i bought it. It wasn’t given to me, I earned it. Nothing is quite so sweet as something you earn. That’s the same feeling Christ has toward you. You see he bought you! And even though Christ is rich, He used His life to purchase you on a cross. It cost Him so much more than we can imagine. Why did He do it? Because of His intense love for you. You are His! Don’t ever forget it! God’s love is the greatest! It’s too bad it’s taken me so long and so many scars to figure that out.
