Tdy 30th Dec and is the last sunday in the year of 07.
I quite enjoy tdy sermon, is not particularly about Rev Tay present his sermon but is the way how he revealed the word of god in a new “technology” way. Tdy sermon started off with Rev Tay telling us this story…
In a far way place, there is a village that uses cow to determine how valued their daughters are. If the girl’s family received one cow, it show that their daughter look is ok. If the girl’s family received two cows, it show their daughter is pretty. If the girl’s family received three cow, it show their daughter is as pretty as Miss USA. Thats the most and maximum of cow you received if your daughter is really very very pretty. So in a corner, there is this family who has only daughter. The look of their daughter is plain and her face pull as long as a papaya. No man wants to come foward and propose to her. Her dad is real sad and worried that her daughter will never have the chance to get married! So one day he announced that, any man jst any man who is going to marry my daughter I will give them one cow! So one day, a young handsome prince from another village came and propose to her father. Her father was shocked and thought that the prince has come to the wrong village and the wrong house. So the father asked: ” Are you sure you have come to the right place? You could have been mistaken.” “Dear Sir, I am very sure that I have come to the right place and its not a mistaken,” replied the young handsome prince and he continued : “Well I have also bought gift “, as he said he claps his hands. A servant pulled out a cow from the bush. Her father was surprised and he was joyful to know that her daughter worth one cow! “Not only that…,” smiled the young handsome prince and he continued to clap his hands. The servant pulled out another cow. “Wow, now my daughter worth two cows,” said her father in a joyful tone! “And more…”, while the young handsome prince clapped his hands. The servant pulled out another cow! This time her father and mother was dancing together and shouting “Our daughter worth three cows!” The daughter that is peeping behind her door room, was full of joy and all of her sudden she no longer have that long face that pull as long as papaya. She smiled, her eyes brighten and she started to dance around in her room with joy!
While her father and mother were dancing with joy, the young handsome prince continue to clap his hands and more cows were pulled out! The young handsome prince stopped clapping at the 8th time. Thus in total he brought 8 cows to propose to her daughter. Her daughter not worth one or two but eight cows! The long pulling face daughter has now change into a young confidence lady that walk around with her head high!
So the moral of this story is, sometimes we need to be confidence in ourselves and not judge by what others think of you! God is alwys there beside us and he is the one that judging us. To him we are the precious and nobody can take that truth away! He who gave up his own son and saved us from evil; has make a point that we are strong in him and thou shalt not believe in this world but in god’s words! Amen!
