haha, i think some of you think that i'm a bit crazy now, why does she still put her faith in a God that doesn't let good things happen to her? or that i'm brainwashed by this book i call the bible.
but i dont know, perhaps its just the way i know that God is real to me, i can feel God's presence, i can feel Him speaking into my life and i can be sure of my citizenship in heaven. God isnt someone who causes bad things to happen to me, sometimes He allows bad things to happen for reasons, so that i can learn.
being christian isnt about being perfect either, no one is. Jesus was the only human, in His time in earth, who was. it is about having faith in Jesus, having laid down His life on the cross, so that we may be free from the way sin has a hold on our guilt and shame and uncertainty with God. And so we rejoice that we have been set free, we are also grateful for the grace and mercy that God chose to have to pardon us. christianity is also a journey of discovering God and knowing His goodness, faithfulness and soveriegnty in all circumstances.
being christian is saying that we are weak, but by God's power we are made strong,
being christian is saying that we are blind to the things that we cannot foresee, but by God we can see the things that are to come, the things that we can be sure of, like heaven, and Jesus' second coming.
being christian is saying that even if i have faith as small as a mustard seed, God can still use that tiny bit of faith to show me the wonders that He can achieve.
being christian, is saying that God, i put You in control, i put the things of You ahead of me, and even if i fail, as all humans do, You still forgive, You still can make things right.
being christian is saying that i love God, and that God loves me too, with an everlasting love.
a shout of praise.
