Hey!
I know its been ages since the last time I wrote. To be pretty straight forward, I couldn't help it, God moved my heart to. Was about to delay till tomorrow though, but, what can I do? =D
God revealed quiet strongly today of 2 MAIN things in our life.
1. Christianity=Persecutions?
Huumm, this is a pretty though thing ay? every Christians must have had this. Let me tell you my story.
I met someone new, who, strangely, we get on in a conversation, moving smoothly from one topic to another. Her quote, "My mom's a Christian, so she is pretty strict with stuff, things like drinking, piercing and tatooing..." more I can quote, but better not for her privacy sake.
I was about to say, I'm a Christian too, but.... I have different kind of views from her, u know...
Anyway, I didn't..
WHY??
Simple. I haven't got the courage. It took too long to assemble all the courage that I have before she moved on to another topic.
I was recollecting our whole conversation when I was cleaning Mrs.T's upstairs bathroom, I thought...
"You know what? I should have had said proudly. loudly, confidently: I AM A CHRISTIAN.. AND I DO HAVE A DIFFERENT VALUES AND VIEWS FROM YOUR MUM... THE VALUES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME ARE LOVING OTHERS UNCONDITIONALLY, HELPING WHOEVER IN NEED, ENCOURAGING AND SHARING HOPES WITH EVERYBODY THAT I MET.
and simply, she would have seen it IN ME, again, I AM NOT AFRAID, because I have done my best to give a good example as a Christian and keeping this heart PURE, so WHY NOT LET IT SHINE???
Even when I shared the reason why I don't go to parties and make that fake IDs, she said "there is NOBODY here in NZ at your age would be able to think that way and have never gone to a party before." Unfortunately, she grasped it as it was a cultural difference. Anyway, where do I learnt to refrain myself from my OWN BIG LUSTS?? DON'T YOU THINK I'M GONNA LIKE PARTIES IF I'VE BEEN TO ONCE?? I WILL! THAT'S WHY I WON'T START! AND.. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF GOD...
WHY AM I NOT PROUD OF THE GOD WITH SUCH CHARACTER??? A CHARACTER THAT BRINGS LIFE??
"WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOUR GRACE??" -Israel.. I mean, really? I might not be virgin still today. I might have been a heavy drug addict. I used to have a naughty and rebellious nature truly speaking.
2 things I'm emphasizing:
a. WATCH CAREFULLY the purity of our hearts, for, from there shows the issues of life, something to be PROUD of or ASHAMED of? especially with our ID in Christ! so we can...
b. BE PROUD OF, SHOW OFF WHO OUR GOD IS!!.. and ultimately to be able to share that gift of salvation that has made us who we are now to others in despair...
LET'S START FROM NOW!!
2. That, lead God to ask me this question: iiif..... every single person in this universe, unexceptionally, are saved, and are committed to Me, what then is your GOAL?????
Honestly, I was confused and doubtful for a while trying hard to think of the answer. That is strange, isn't? I didn't realize the ultimate and MAIN GOAL of my life? HAA!
Then, I think.. obviously, we want to build a strong community within each other to grow in You and together make You happy..
but... that's not all! Problem: How are we going to make You happy if there is NO PEOPLE we can bring to You anymore??? EVERYBODY'S SAVED! Of course we will worship you all the time then... but.. IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU LORD???
HAAA!!!
God reminded me of the Gospel Moses. D. I, BEn. shared: "Our ultimate goal isn't merely the losts, you know, it is YOU (us) that the Lord wants THE MOST! WOW WOW WOW.
Life changing for me to realize to LIVE A SPOTLESS LIFE in the eyes of the Lord, committing my self to each and every thing He desires from me, no matter WHAT it is.. my sleeping in(s), my future, my family, my possessions, my cravings, and so much more, mostly things that I want MORE and MORE in life that I might one day WANT IT MORE than God Himself, EVERY BITS of selfishness in me that create 'lumps and bumps' of what God wants to do in my life, the lifestyle and character He wants to teach and me to have in my daily life. My thankfulness to Him in hard as times is what He desires than just shouts of asking help.
Yes, 'lost sheeps' make God and the entire heaven cheer of joy. But Ultimately, WHAT GOD REALLY WANTS IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERY BEING THAT HE HAD FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE WITH 1000% LOVE. IT'S YOU.. AND EVERYBODY AROUND YOU.
Let's come to him, surrender and we shall see His faithfulness of His promises.
Blessed day everyone! Ciao!
