Its not about hype, Its about priorities and committment and the eternal relationship
Well...i had a wonderful time at cg yesterday. Edmund gor came for make up and we had a gd time catching up. We played animal game and as usual, sotong me got forefeited. what did i have to do? well, i had to lead the grace song together with Duanlian and then come up with actions on the spot. I practically saboed myself when i exclaimed last week that coming up with the actions is "sub sub water". It was stressful at 1st, but I'm glad my cgl encouraged and spurred me on. Only then, did i realised - hey! i can be creative too! Made a pact with LY - yayyy! he will be sending me hm after cg in future...and also a date with him - yayy! my router settings in new hse will be taken care of! Thks LY!
Everytime i go for BS, CG and SVC, i always feel the joy, the encouragement and the assurance of being a child of God and being in the family of God. I have a strong desire to want to know God more, to serve God more and do greater things in the house of God. Yet, when i get back to the daily routines in life, often, the negatives of life just sets in. I start complaining, whining and i wonder, where has my relationship with God gone? Why do i seem to only be a weekend christian? Its just so hard to be disciplined to read the word of God and have our daily quiet time. Its not just abt setting time aside, but its abt the discipline and the willingness of the heart, i guess.
Matt 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness, and ALL these things shall be added unto you.
I really hope to be able to do that, to put God 1st in every area of my life. However, as humans, we also often fall short of the glory of God. Life's struggles are inevitable....my struggle? the balance between the happiness of the short term versus the eternal. And like every greedy individual, i keep telling God, i want both....like a spoilt-brat whining at the wise parent. God says - make the right choice, take the right steps, be obedient and overflowing blessings will await. I know exactly what this is all about....I only need to take that bold step which i know i struggle deep within my heart. Only God knows....
