The Day We Chant Merdeka!

"...And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it" (Rev. 21: 24 NLT)

We can only imagine the scene when we enter the new city as stated in the book of Revelations. We would bask in the glory of being there. And yes, finally we would meet our God face to face and truly worship him for he deserves all praise.

We will be there as Malaysian Christians. Malaysia is our land, our home. What makes it exciting in this grand entrance is that we would also bring in the splendour of our country there. What is the splendour of our country? There are so many things that defines our country. Yet one thing stands out - the people of Malay-sia. With different ethnicity and languages, it is really great to note that at the end, Malaysia would be represented there by it's people. This is for me the most memorable thing about being Malaysian.

May we at this time of celebration of our independence rejoice and be thankful to God who blessed us with this land we live in. In God's grace and mercy he has revealed himself to us and has blessed us in so many ways. May we continually pray for our country, king, government and people. May God's light continually shine in this land for justice, righteousness and hope. Selamat Hari Kebangsaan Malaysia.
