What the 40 Days of Purpose did for a Boy from Sibu and Childrens from Miri

When I read day 27th from the book of 40 Days Of Purpose. I learnt that you don’t defeat temptation by fighting the feeling of it. The more you fight a feeling, the more it consumes and controls you. So the quickest way to neutralize its allure is to turn your attention on something else.

I sometimes face the temptation of playing computer games (Maplestory). I kept on thinking about it, so I ended up playing. Now, since I have to face UPSR this year end, so I cannot play computer until after UPSR.

Next time when I face temptation, I will stop thinking about it and go to study or read a book.

Alvin Tan, age 7
I am happy that I came to join. I learned that God is the greatest creator of the earth and universe. I have learned to worship, to have fellowship, to play, to swim and to study. I believe more in God and I am more hardworking.

Tien Eu Ting, age 11
I have learned lots of things from 40 Days Of Purpose. One of them is fellowship and forgiving one another or just saying 'hi' to someone whom you haven’t seen for a long time. I also learned that little children like us can also be great help to God through spreading the Gospel with the wordless book that our teachers gave us.

Jeremy Lee, age 10
The most important lesson that I have learned is to know how much God loves me. I also learned to love the people surrounding me especially my brother Joshua and sister Elena. I used to make them angry but now I quarrel less with them. Now I stopped myself from saying not so nice things to them. I do all this because I want to please God.

Priscilla Wong, age 9
I am glad that I joined. Now I know how to share things with others and know how to care for others.

Michelle Hii, age 8 (Primary 2)
I am very happy that I come to join this programme. I want to read the bible to learn more about Jesus and imitate Him in every way. I want to be more obedient to my parents.

Martin Wong, age 7 (Primary 1)
After the 40 Days I will love and care for my friends.

从这个课程中，我被教导和提醒上帝为我所定的人生终极目标不是安逸享乐而是品格的塑造，因此我对自己的处境或顺或逆，心中更懂得感恩，就如在这课程期间我因服事而身体疲乏及感冒时，我被提醒时时刻刻倚靠圣灵，我感受到上帝的安慰，还有察验上帝的陪伴及惊喜圣灵在组员身上的感动和引导。我真的非常放心的活在上帝塑造我的生命目的里。

在我作一些事情，讲一些话时会去想这个是不是神喜欢的。

我觉得这本书对我有蛮大的帮助。我从中领悟到以神观点处事待人及把焦点放在神身上，特别是学习去爱人，服事人及更清楚自己活着的目的。

方丽珠
感谢神，感谢教会给我学习到服事神，让我也懂得服事人。这本书‘标竿人生’让我学习到关怀，忍耐。包容等等。上帝拣选我，我也选择上帝，愿我尽心尽性尽意尽力爱主我的神。

陈玉琴
感谢主，藉着标竿人生课程，让我知道人生的目的是什么，我已经做了长不大的基督徒好久了。什么是灵命也不知道，常常被情欲控制，总觉得自己是罪恶的，甚至已经很多年没有去领圣餐。透过华理克牧师的教导，使我的灵命成长。

感谢主赐我勇气和力量，不再惧怕，主曾说：我绝不撇下你，也不丢弃你。感谢主，与我同在。阿们。

陈玉容参加标杆人生40天，让我认识到人生活着的目的。凡事无论大小上帝都在意，所以我要努力的学习活出基督的样式，做一个神所喜爱的女儿。

标竿人生拉近了我与神的距离，我看见了自己眼中的梁木。

许莉风
标竿人生是一个非常好的课程。我参加了此课程后，我知道我的人生目的，也让我活的更有方向。

Before I lived in uncertainty as I don’t understand what is worth living for. Now I know I am God’s workmanship, created to be part of his master plan for all of us. What is more worthy to live for than living for God.
