Hey Central Two!Joanc here. Just wna share some stuff. I was feeling really lousy just a few minutes ago. Like, really going crazy from all the pressure, feeling all the weight from the heavy workload and the countless responsibilities I have to juggle. You know how, sometimes when you're very torn apart, there are two voices going on in your head? One that's complaining and crying and another that reminds you about all of God's promises, telling you constantly to surrender. That's when you exercise your authority over your mind, and choose to believe in the promises of God. (: Each time I do it, I never regret it. Listening to Made to Worship had instant effect on me. I realise that we were made to praise and worship, not complain and drag our feet through life, no matter how tough. Sometimes, we keep running to God for help that we no longer know how to stand on our own two feet. Dependence on God is good, but not to the extent where you're a jellyfish with no backbone, no strength to get through life. God indeed strengthens the weak, but it doesn't mean we remain weak all our lives and use that as an excuse to not do God's will. God can empower us. Hmmmm. Think about it. Instead of always running to God to seek comfort and let yourself feel better, why not make God happy? Why not bless Him? We always say Christianity is a relationship, not a religion. What does that mean? Relationships are two-way. Both give. If we always want more and more of God's blessings and don't bless God's heart, it would be a one-sided relationship. And we would be really selfish. It's true, we fear human more than God. Why do we feel guilty when we don't give enough in a relationship with a human, but don't realise it when we don't give enough in our relationship with God? Anyway, jiayou for your week people! It's only Monday, you have 4 more days in school to be on the lookout for opportunities to change lives! Love. |
