Self Reminder - Priorities
So its end of May! I find myself no time to complain about things in life! Yes indeed, I was pretty shock when I realized how the last 2 to 3 mths dissapeared from my blog, the story of my life! But of course not, yes I have been blogging but blogging about God - walk with the Lord, strengtening prayer life, and most recently learn to pray and bless others! Just so I dont get too carried away, I need to list down some of the things I recently said I was going to do:
1. Some sort of revised calendar/time management/timesheet reflecting serving God and God's people (inc. spend time fixing my own weaknesses!) and non-believers - I gota break this down into more details as such includes Bible time w God, small group time w Jesus, family time w Jesus, individual time w Jesus, Church time w God/Jesus and time with those who does not know Jesus personally, things I do to throw away my old bad habits/thoughts and personality and follow Jesus's words - so we may walk in the light and not in darkness ..
2. New prayer format - the Lord's prayer
I want to be able to bear fruits and not just wash ourselves with God's words and never got cleaner. I dont want to be one of those Christians who say they believe and not do what Jesus taught us to do .. but I also undersstand that we need God's grace to do all that, alongside with our obedience... so I will not create excuses for myself, and infact, I would encourage anyone out there to check on me (perhaps even study the Bible together), for I know then you are not quick to judge but truly want to help me grow! Ask me questions anytime, and if my actions are not consistent with what Jesus wants me to be, please alarm me, I am most grateful and I am thankful if there's someone out there who takes the time out for the best of others. I thank you first if you are that person! God bless you!
Learning To Love
Its been about 2 mths now, I didn't do the Sunday morning walk since but found many other ways to spend time with God on a daily basis. Perhaps this is indeed what it means by, the heart that counts not the religious routines! Having said that, I would like to caution believers not to take advantage of this wonderful faith-method God has made provision for us, by saying, its the heart that counts, not the works so we can be lazy and do it our way! According to Dr. Adrian Rogers (Love Worth Finding),faith without legs is not faith! If we say we love God, we have to put in action - whatever that may be, they certainly require time and effort i.e. sacrificial love! I am planning to improvise my time management schedule to reflect this - more specifically my daily TO-DO calander and perhaps a timesheet submitted to Jesus! I know its not going to look that great at the beginning but I am positive that it will look better and better! Showing off by works? I don't think thats the issue at all - what if we say we love but we've got nothing to show? Someone once said, love is only love when it is given away. Such simple truth and yet we often like to intepret love our own way - accumulating it all our lives and for ourselves! So from now on, I will learn to give love to all those around me ... by sacrificing something of my own :) Life is good! Dear Lord, thank you for showing me the way to live a righteous life because you are a righteous God.
God Is Good!
I cannot explain what you've said but I've heard your explanation - thank you Lord for loving me! Your response and presence is like a good friend whom I can count on 24 x 7. Time and time again you've revealed yourself through the hotwire communication method you've established for us in this modern day esp Jesus and the Holy Spirit and all of those who are your faithful servants allowing themselves for you to speak through them. Whatever it is that time has changed, you did not change and your love for what you've created certainly did not change. As a matter of fact, you take the time to even think of things I did not think of, but I know you only have our best interest in mind ... So many things have happened for the past many weeks and months, there are so many stories I can tell but all my stories lead to one thing - Lord, our God is good and I hope others may find their way to you Lord. I make myself available to those who really want to seek the truth because this is good news and if I say I love you Lord, I love the things you love too, and you love the people and so I must share the good news with them too. My love for all things that God love - "God loves you, so do I!"
