it's been long....since i update my blog

ELLO!

it's almost half a yr tat i forgotten tat i have a blog where i can share wif others interesting articles tat will make us think & ponder about What God can do in our lives....well, many changes took place over this past 6 mths...my studies, my relationship wif God, my transition to adult cell..., my family's health..., ministry in sunday sch, realize that my age is catching up.....already a young adult....which means more responsibilties...but wad about my spiritual growth? did i grow from an infant to a toddler who is learning to "walk" wif God, a disciple to deny himself & take up the cross...& pay the price to go through trials & sufferings & pain....how much am i willing to endure& 4 how long will i contniue 2 move on? i did grow alittle & but it seem veri slow....i noe it going 2 take time4 maturity2 cum forth yet on the other hand the time we r living in is critical & crucial...we need 2 walk circumspectly & to always in prayer consistently to watch 4 ourselves & also 4 others in the body of Christ....if not we will be like one of the many which the bible talks about whose hearts grow cold...have u ever taste blood b4? recently, my gums bleed suddenly but i dun feel pain at all but i taste it in my mouth....it speaks 2 me alot cos we we need 2 guard our hearts, mind, eyes, ears and mouth so we cn b kept clean & not hurting God& Holy Spirit without realizing it & fall again & again, tat's wad we call our struggles internally....hvaing the fear of the Lord in our lives & the grace of God 2 keep us from falling again. cos we need 2 grow up if not we will be swept away by the evil easily. we cannot b shallow anymore cos if the time we are living in...Jesus is coming back no matter what happens, nothing can stop Him, but are we ready by then? cos i have so much of "me" 4 Him to change, shape, mould & purify...but He will finish the work that He has begun 4 His purpose 2 b fulfill...God can do without us but He willingly choose us 2 work along side with Him for His kingdom. how priviledge r we! i guess only angels can understand the depth of His Love for His creation, i dunno if i'm correct but i heard of stories about angels ask God y He still choose the humans for His kingdom yet He has made many angels in the heaven whom HE can use them...the only reason i cna think of is His GREAT Love..........when i look at the Cross, it can never be the same again...we are a bunch of desperate, hopeless, proud, stiff-neck, full of weakness, carnal nature, ugly creatures on earth when God looks down from HIs throne...we r juz so small like an atom to Him...how on earth HE ever thought of using us, humans beings? yet 2000 yrs ago, He did everything on the Cross...4 all of the entire human race...HE is indeed a great & awesome God, the Cross will forever b the reflection of the Father's heart & it's the only way 4 human 2 come into that narrow path & find life more abundantly on earth as it is in heaven...it is a choice 4 us if we are willing 2 take it up & live it out but it will realli cost us alot alot but if we compare it to the Cross, it is just a speck of dust 4 all the pain, sufferings, trials...persecution, perplexity, crushed, broken, rejection, humiliation, hurt, offenses, despised, misunderstood, all these issues tat pertain to life....wad is our response 2 God today? HIs grace is sufficient 4 us all , for my strength is made perfect in weakness...tat's y apostle Paul can say he wwants 2 embrace such pain & sufferings knowing the GRACE of God...which is also include the time we living on earth...i have so much 2 type here, GOd is Good....always! HE never change...cos this is His nature....HE made all things beautiful in His time...Amen! praise God...! thank you, Jesus! i can never stop thanking Him...4 hu He is & what He has done in our lives...
