browsing through my old poetry books, i realise how far i've come and how much today's sermon made sense. indeed life's a journey with many stages, and lessons to be learnt from them. i look back now and after learning those lessons, i wonder why i even felt so much over so little. i wonder why i even got so worked up over something so small. it's a lesson learnt, one that need not be repeated.
i've finally past that stage after 5 long years.. definitely learnt a lesson i'll never forget. went through much more than i bargained for, but i know that it's all part of the plan. i may have circled for a little longer than i should've, but at least it's over now. thank You, for bringing me out!
& while we continue kissing frogs, remember never to marry one! don't be complacent and contented with anything that's not worthy of your destiny. be patient, and never lose hope. the prince will come eventually. (:
we're called, to be an example to believers... in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.. spoken many times, confessed many times, but is it really acted out? ask yourself.
when's the last time you soaked up the word of God, received fresh revelation and just got so glued you didn't wanna stop reading?
when's the last time you seeked knowledge and earnestly wanted to know more about God?
have you been accountable to your leaders?
are all your relationships on the right track?
are you constantly growing in love for God and for people?
are you compassionate?
are you sensitive to the Holy Spirit?
did you pray in the spirit more today than you did yesterday?
have you been recharging your faith, seeing that faith leaks?
have you stepped out and done something radical for Him?
are you leading a life that's pure?
are your thoughts and actions all birthed forth from nothing but pure thoughts- to bring good and not evil?
gotta do some reflecting!
read this from phil pringle's inspired to pray. "We need to keep praying for people after thay have been saved with the same intensity as we did for them to get them saved."
gotta up the intensity!
cheers!
