Hey! New blogskin! credited to Mindy for helping me choose. haha. Though I have afew up my sleeves, and wanting to put them up but still, I respect Mindy's choice! It's nice isn't it? A throne so worthy of God's majesty. A throne so high that no words could express, no thoughts could imagine. (:
This is going to be a short post. Yes a short one. Was scanning through my devotional guide and yes I found something to do with Being Reconciled. I was very touched by God's amazing words. It's about restoring relationships. Jesus did not include an excepton clause for our reconciliation. If the person is an enemy, Jesus said to love him(Matt. 5:44). If he is to persecutes you, you are to pray for him(v.44). If she pubilicly humiliates you, you are not to retaliate(v.39). If someone takes advantage of you, you are to give even more than he asks(v.41). Jesus taught us to deny ourselves when coming before the throne of God. His concern wasn't about His disicples being treated fairly or not but that they show unconditional love to others regardless of how they were being treated. Don't comfort yourself with the thought of "God knows that I tried to make things right, but my enemy refused." God's word does not say "Try to be reconciled, but Be reconciled."
I thank God for all these, because it made me grow closer with Him. For all the disputes, arguements or even hatred and such. I'm glad that it did not discourage me with my walk with Jesus. I'm thankful that it made me even want to praise God for who He is and what He had done on me.
Come to think of it, I'm extremly caution with my words nowadays. I guess that it's because I don't want to hurt others in the process of being too out-spoken or speaking aimlessly. I know thru this time of being moulded, I hurt others with my prideful words, my stubbornness and my one-sided thinking. I know it's wrong for me to do this, for I know this is what that is not pleasing in His sight. God opposes the Proud but gives grace to the Humble.(James 4:6). I will in the future, speak with righteousness and also words spoken with the thoughts of going thru my mind.
PS: I also want to thank God for using me. This sunday I can join the powerkids ministry in hope of bringing more unconditional love to others. I want to do this for this is what the disciples are doing, cause I know it's time for me to share my love with the kids. (:
