Aah, what can i say about life- is that as we grow old things can get a bit wearisome, i don't know, here's me putting my heart out on my sleeve once again. I guess i just have to be thankful that the Lord has given me and entrusted me with so much, that He is the one holding my ground.
I was so blessed with the message at church last Sunday morning, it was for me & thank God that it was too. I think reminders are very precious and they reach the core of my heart big time. I have to re-assess my priorities and re-focus my energy and effort towards the higher things, towards Godly things. I found myself caught (unawares) with the entanglements of this world... i have become so distracted but i wanna change that. The message just reminded me again of who i am and that i am on my way out of this world. The Lord just stirred up old longings once more and boy, i realized that i have become so lax lately but God has sent His message across & that has woken me up- I am glad that i have a God who keeps me.
A lot of people raise their brows and become skeptical on the mention of christianity or being born-again but it is only because they haven't met the person of Christ yet or the so-called christians they meet are unfortunately professing christians- whose lives does not really reflect Christ. I believe if they have (met the Lord), they will be head over heels also :) He would become the song of their hearts as is mine.
There are challenges out there I am aware- the world is full of thousands of religion & 'spirituality' that people get too confused to even bother, our society has also encouraged an attitude of extreme tolerance where right & wrong has become purely individual. I disagree with that because i believe God has set the standard of right and wrong, it isn't merely up to us to decide what is good and what is evil. I just pity the next generation of people, the younger ones today who are growing up with no sense of values and belief is all up in the air... i do sound grim but that is the reality of this day, sigh.
There is one thing i do know- is that amidst all these chaos and so-called individuality of beliefs... there is one true thing & that is Jesus Christ only. I know this to be true because i have experienced Christ in my own life. The world may roar with laughter & their cauldron of skepticism may overflow but at the end of the day when the last breath of living air evaporates from their lips...they will know for themselves that this is true for whether they like it or not, they will meet with their Maker, but it would be too late then. That is why i am grateful & my heart sings for joy that i have been given a chance to meet the Lord now and to be able to serve and obey Him. I love Jesus & I will testify of Him until i have breathed my last breath because others deserve to know that there is such a thing as salvation to the soul, that there is such a thing as genuine happiness and rest. That there is love unconditional, the kind of love that would strive with our misgivings, a love that does not ask for anything in return, a love that only seeks to do good, a love that sacrificed life at Calvary for your sake. That kind of a love...
