my stale blog is finally unstaled.
today is GOOD FRIDAY!!!
thank god for sending his son to die on the cross for all our sins and shames.
wanna thank god really for touching me this tgif.
video of jesus being crucified was played.
and it was so PAINFUL to watch.
i mean JESUS DID IT FOR ME!!!
yes ME!!!
imagine 9-inch nails driven into your flesh and bones and your feet. shamed and ridiculed when jesus had done no wrong. suffering in the hot sun.
how much pain, or stress, or upset, or unfortunate events in my life is NOTHING compared to what JESUS SUFFERED FOR ME!!
we often complain about how this day is so tough. that thing is so stressful. stuff like i can't cope, why me? why does this have to happen to me.
but the thing is we never did realise that our problems are so trivial.
so selfish of us. or at least me.
did jesus say why me when he was crucified?
did jesus complain about the pain he suffered?
no. he did it out of perfect love for US.
so why do we even complain when our problems are created from our very own stupidity
we should instead thank god for every single blessings and trials in our life.
and lately my quiet time with god has been reduced to prayers.
i've been thinking, why am i being so selfish?
i'm always asking god for "this, this, that, that"
yes although its promised that those who ask will receive,
but have i ever thought what god wants?
spending time dwelling in his presence is such a joyful time for both god and us.
so why did i ever let my earthly desires take over.
i just felt this overwhelming feeling of love and thankfulness towards god for blessing me in every area of my life no matter what i've done.
and ps danny and eve words made sense and really spoke to me.
about what pastor eve said about the friendship thing really hit me hard.
we teenagers often strive or long for acceptance from our friends.
but why never from god?
we always want to please our friends.
but why do we never try hard enough to please god?
we fear quarrelling with our friends.
why do we not fear god?
then pastor danny said, as christians we are set free!
so true.
we are on high, and happy cos we are filled with the spirit of god.
with his love.
thank you jesus for opening the way for the the world to live again.
HALLELUJAH!!!
