Service again
Yep. went for morning service. had a 'confrontation' this morning with someone. here i am..blogging about lousy behaviour and there it is..someone who personified everything my morals stand against. but i enlarged my capacity, and went the extra mile..did what Jesus would do. rebuked and comforted.
and things eventually became better. thats what being a true friend is all about. you're not afraid to live for the truth. and you dont be naive or simpleton, close one eye! u tell the person straight in the face..but yet love the person.
you can ask..how on earth can you rebuke and love? why not? Thats why we have God and the HS. how can u be in e world and not of e world? thats why we have e HS. and because of that..he came for svc, even tho he didnt with us..but during the altar call..he was the first to be in front.
Be a peacemaker! Be a problem solver! Dont run, dont retreat, dont self pity, CONFRONT and OVERCOME!
dont say one man cant make a difference. dont think its too hard. if you cant even befriend an enemy, how can you win a total stranger? Then again, i credit it to God. for using me in a great way, i dont wanna boast about myself, because i am nothing without Him..
If not for Him, i wouldnt have been so patient.
If not for Him, i wouldnt have been so relaxed.
If not for Him, i wouldnt have been able to have a thick skin, but a thin heart.
If not for Him, i wouldve been offended.
If not for Him, i wouldnt be able to see the need and meet it, find the hurt and heal it.
and to think just hours before..i was heartbroken. in my heartbroken state..God used me. and when i saw him in front. tears just came down my eyes. God..even when people let me down, even when i feel im all alone..yet You could use me in such a great way.
and i heard Him whispering to me, "Well done. Now I will raise you up..I will enlarge your capacity, because you were faithful, you were obedient my son. You have saved a soul, you deserved a pat on your back.."
Evangelism is not just about bringing the lost into the house of God, but its being a good shepard and keeping them there. when one sheep is lost, the good shepard will abandon the rest just to find for that one sheep..
There is more rejoicing in heaven, over one person...oh yes..ps said something yest during svc that really astonished me..he said:
The world can never truly love. The world can only make you smile.
You want happiness, peace and satisfaction? Then go to the Source.
also during svc, we sang Saviour King.."You asked your son, to carry this, the heavy cross, our weight of sin.." And God began to speak to me, He said, "Andrew..you are My son. Will you carry your cross for me? Will you even go the extra mile to carry the crosses of your friends and loved ones?"
with tears in my eyes, i said, Yes Lord..i will go where no one has gone before, i will do what no one has done before..God..let me decrease and let You increase. no doubt i trust the people around me will carry their own crosses daily..but when they fall, when they dont feel like taking up the cross..when the going gets tough..i will be the one who will be willing to carry it for them..
im definitely feeling better after talking to tim.
its only the beginning and today's msg was just in time..ps ulf talked about suffering lol. There is no life without death, nothing good in this world is free, other than e gift of salvation. even so, it isnt free..it cost someone His entire life.
Dont just live your own comfortable life..do something with your life for the glory of God! im not getting any younger..and so are most of u..dont waste your youth not accomplishing anything.
