In this year, I just hope to see that things that I wished can come to pass... I just hope to overcome my itchy mind and itchy eyes, able to save money to get a house this year, able to play a guitar so that I could help out with cell group's worship session, and also to speak and understand the foreign language that I'm learning.
Things have become tougher, for life is not as easy and it's never being easy. There shall be unknown factor that will raise up all of a sudden to interrupt the things that we are doing, or to destroy someone life just in a flash of the eye. But what is important now, is to overcome such situation with a heart that stand strong against the storm.
We are just human being on earth that could do right and wrong since the day that the forbidden fruit has been eaten. We are here until now is not by who we are, but it's by the grace of the mighty one. We can do wrong things, but the mighty one is giving us time to correct our way before He come to conclude everything. Though many do not believe in Him, but for those who believed, we must set as an example to other in living out His glory.
I read the book that authorized by Him, and it's very profound that we should not deal with situation around us with our own understanding, brute force, or the way of the world; instead, we should deal with wisdom. The reason I mentioned this, is because some of us who believed in the mighty one, confronted the world without any understanding and doing it in such a way that normal people do, like demonstration. That's not wisdom, that's not how the characters in that book deal with the world. It doesn't help to solve problem but to help create an image that we are self-proclaimed self-righteous hypocrite.
I myself is not exception that I'm a human that could do wrong things. No one could say that he is righteous, because we are all fall short in His glory. I have my own weaknesses, that I know it's wrong, which I'm struggling and overcoming it until now. Sometime I'll fail in the struggle and give way to my wrong doing, and will feel guilty. And I'm grateful for each day, that I've another day to live to correct my wrong doing. It will haunt me forever and I'll have to struggle with it forever, but I'm grateful and thankful that He is there, because He is victorious, and His grace is sufficient for me over the struggle.
Amen
