What a difference He makes!
Truth : True or False?
Most people know the Truth.
Most people speak the Truth.
But only a handful live their lives in the Truth.
The past 2 weeks have been a trying period for me. Ever since CNY ended, didn't really spend time to pray and seek the face of God. I think i had enough of giving excuses of why i didn't spend time to pray; be it work or pleasure. Enough is enough. Not surprisingly, i started to feel discouraged, down at times and not being able to control my anger at times in school.
The ironic thing is i asked myself; why is my life like that?
Am really encouraged by what June wrote and shared in her blog. If i have another word; i would say i am BLESSED. Her entries are usually very upfront and personal, be it good or bad. However, she always makes it a point to end the blog entry giving thanks to God and all the good things He has done for her. One of her latest entries spoke about experiencing God and how the Gospel is like a treasure to us; the believers and foolishness to people who are perishing.

Isn't that so reflective of the society that we are in?
I can't help but to agree totally with what she has shared in her blog. As i read, i am IMPACTED. Not just by the words used but at the same time, by the level of gratitude; spiritual thankfulness that was expressed in her blog. Everytime i read her blog, there will always be a 99% chance of me being impacted by what she has wrote and shared.
June, if you are reading this, thank you so much for your sharing! :)
Often, the group of people who are most prone to luke-warmness are Christians who live day in day out in church; people who know the way and the truth. In their heads only (besides people out there are already cold!). Pastor always shares that revelations must be fresh and we must always experience or gather a new revelation every single day of our lives. Failure to do so would give us a false impression or illusion that we are doing ok in our walk with God but in actual fact, we are not doing well at all!
Back to why i wasn't focused on my prayer time, i am too caught up and immersed in; predominately my future. What is the next career path i should pursue? What car would i like to get? Really immature isn't it? Planning and doing my calculations for all the above mentioned things but always coming back to the same point; ie i need to earn more!
Sometimes, a lot of movement doesn't mean a lot of work done.
I still find myself slipping back into the carnal defeated nature of the old man in me from time to time. Every single day to me is like a battle for me to overcome my mind, flesh and spirit. To wage a warfare towards others is easy, doable and attainable.
But to wage a warfare against yourself; you need to change your mind. Renew your mind if you like to put it.
Its never easy but the Bible says that "With God, nothing is impossible". I got to change and renew my mind before i become a white washed tombstone; sitting pretty and looking good but seriously, no substance whatsoever.
Right now, i am thankful for His blood that was shed on the cross 2000 years ago; His ever-lasting grace and love that fills my life; His mercy that brought me back from death.
Without Christ, there would be no me.
