Think Big;

Start Small;

Build deep.

How true, isn't it? Many times we are told to think big, to dream big, aim high and shoot for the moon, but no one ever tells us how to get there. How to accomplish the dream was never told. So what most of us would do is that we start big, with a huge plan in mind, we "forget" that every huge success started with a small first step. So often we want things done fast, we want them done right at the first time too. Even with a tiny bit of obstacles we give up, saying that it's not worth an investment. 

If people were to give up on me whenever I did something wrong or something that had disappointed them, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today, I probably won't even be a Christian! Personally, in a generation that is so pampered, everything is given to us, everything is spoon fed and we don't work as hard as our parents did to get what we want, hence when things don't go the way we wanted it to go, we throw out hands up in surrender without trying again. 

The walk with Christ seem to be the total opposite, because it is having to constantly face challenges and obstacle and pray and believe that God will bring you through it and that your faith will be stronger. 

I don't know what Edmund Chan's context was when he quoted this. But for me, the aim is Christlikeness; starting with repentance of sins and knowing and accepting that we are worthless without Christ and God's grace, and then building the roots deeper in Christ so that when tempted, we can be like trees that are firmly rooted and not give way to temptations.
