<h3>What am I doing now?
</h3>
<p>Earlier this month, I applied for an award worth SGD$15,000
to $20,000. (It is called "IMPART Award 2021", and the organisation behind
it is "Art Outreach"). The award supports emerging artists.
<p>I am witnessing how God fulfils Biblical prophecies. For example, Lord Jesus Christ predicted that
"the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven". (Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24, Verse 30).
True enough, on 21st of December 2020, Jupiter and Saturn appeared close together in the evening sky
(from our point of view on Earth). In many news reports, this occurrence - called a conjunction - also had
the name of "Christmas Star".
</p>
<p>So, what now?
</p>
<p>The release of the results (of applications) is scheduled for
end-December 2020, if not early January 2021.
</p>
<p>So right now I am waiting for the results.
</p>
<p>I have joined online chat-groups that relate to my interests: language and cultural
exchange (the chat-group is called
<a href="https://t.me/ML_Singapore">Mundo Lingo</a>), and software development
(<a href="https://t.me/joinchat/AMjNsFh9UGJ9v56sF4KPjg">DevSg</a>), just
to name a few.
</p>
<p>In this way, I have Internet-users whom I can serve. For example,
I've met a lady from Myanmar, who has early-stage breast cancer. I hope
my presence in her (online) life comforts her and cheers her up.
</p>
<p>In a video posted on LinkedIn, a CEO of a publishing company (Ms.
Juliana Chan of Wildtype Media) highlighted social capital and how it
differs from financial capital.
</p>
<p>So one could say I'm gathering social capital, in my time within
these online chat-groups. From a Biblical perspective, I am called to
<p>From a Biblical perspective, I am called to
serve mankind, and to "go and make disciples of all nations". (
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2028%3A19-20&version=NIV">
The gospel of Matthew, Chapter 28, Verses 19 and 20</a>).
</p>
<p>If anyone - or, say, someone named Cathy - asks me whether God is willing to forgive Cathy
for Cathy's sins, I would say, "Yes, God wants you to be His child, Cathy. He wants to be your God.
He loves you so much, that He has prepared His own son to die in your place, for the sins you
have done. (The outcome of sin is death). But if we accept Lord Christ Jesus's sacrifice for us
(and call Jesus our Lord),
and - with a faith that can be as small as a mustard seed - believe that God has raised Lord Jesus
from the dead, we will be saved. We will be in a loving relationship with God. Of course, we must sin no
more, and ask God what kind of life He wants us to lead from now on. And we must do His will, not just hear it."
</p>
<p>God says, "Seek me with all your heart, and you will find me." (According to the Bible). Will Cathy return to God,
who knitted her together - head, fingers, toes and all - while she was in her mother's womb? I implore Cathy to be
reconciled to God (while God's patience remains).
