The Mirror

This was a short account of what i was talking to a friend about.Well she asked me what the differences between the various churches, and my reply is the people and how they see and share the bible. Then I said that some focus only on the part where God loves us and so on and so forth but what they forget is the part where God is also just and we will go to hell if we are not saved. This is the hard and cold truth and my friend replied but they ought to make it sound good, attract people.

When she said that, this came to my mind,

Imagine you think you were a super drop dead gorgeous model and so you go around flaunting your "looks". So you are living in pretty much a disillusionment because the truth is you are not, and when people do not hire you for modeling, you are saying to yourself, well they can't afford me anyway. Well imagine how catastrophic this would be.
To get you out of it, What you need is a mirror, a mirror that shows you your flaws and beauty and most of all who you are. You don't need another poster of a model that you look to and say to your self " Hey ! you're looking good".

The point is the bible is that mirror with the Holy Spirit showing us where we fall short and thats why we need Jesus all the more so. It also tells us that we are God's children, the earth is His bride. So I believe in Jesus, because I am a sinner, fallen short from God's standard but now allowed to enter in because Jesus has paid the price for me. Do you believe?








p/s: thanks shannon for that thought when we were back in Malaysia. See, God sowed a seed with your words :)

disclaimer: I am not saying all of you are not gorgeous. : )
