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. : )
Well thats not too bad a title. But it was a stumble upon a nice little blog by this girl whom i did not know to remind me of the amazing experience of immersing in God's presence. Well I probably should get her permission to promo her blog but here is the link .
As I was reading, it reminded me of the personal yet simplistic relationship with God that I had when i started out serving and loving Him. I know for sure that this relationship is what we all ought to have as the scripture says
Matthew 18:3
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
I think Jesus meant the faith and innocence of the young child. Now imagine a child that is super close to the father. And also as a child there is a simplistic worldview such as how 1 = 1 and not 1 = 2 +5 -6.
As an end tonight,
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
and it is all about you.. its all about you Jesus.
Help me to live with a child like reliance, counting on your vision of the word and the world and me.
