By His Grace vs Live a Responsible Life

Haven't been writing much for quite some time.
Been looking at the past and realized too many sad stories, at least for these past months.

Starting with a friend pass away on Valentine's day, they assumed leukemia. And then a family friend's son, only 30 something. Hepatitis. Following that, a relative. So my days was from morgue, hospitals, and funerals. Not so pleasant. In between that, got news that my friend's brother got lung cancer because of his heavy smoking habit! He then pass away also end of April. Yikes.

And just today, read on my cousin's status in face book wrote : Rest in Peace.... one of her dear friend pass away. I know this particular friend is a breast cancer patient, but I didn't expect it to be this quickly also. So sorry for her family. Got two little children.

At the end, I understand it's God's way. But I do hope she did all her best to get well and stay healthy : go to the best doctor, take the best supplements, eat only healthy foods, etc.

Then I remembered a friend, who once I did presentation on antioxidant. He said, well my life is all because of His Grace. That's why he will just live a simple life. At that time I couldn't argue with him. Cause at one point, what he said is true.

But then again, through out this whole 6 months experienced, I learned that, yes I do totally agree that life is a matter of God's grace. Everything is a matter of God's grace. But then we also need to live a responsible life, appreciating that grace He gave us.
Many people assumed that living a responsible life is only by their way of thinking, or acting, or interacting with other. They forgot that live a responsible life, is totally through our LIFE STYLE. Meaning the attitude, the way we think, and ALSO by what we put in our body! Are we eating junk food that will destroy our body...? We should do our best in everything : spiritually, materially, mentally!

So today, are you giving your best to GOD in what you think, how you interact, what you eat?
Start doing it today. Live a responsible life to appreciate His grace! Then you got the ticket to say," I live because of His grace!"
