"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Making much of what I have

I've been in deep thought. I have not make much of my time to do what I want to do. It's really such a struggle as Paul wrote in Romans 7. Yet I know I mustn't give up, but I want to give up! I want to stop hearing the lies and just escape somewhere where I have a reason not to do what I really want to do. It's so easy to escape from my reality, but I know I'll have a lifetime of regrets.

So what am I doing to my life right now? Is it a wasted life? Some thinks so because their focus is on tangible things. I am not doing the "usual" thing such as working everyday just like any body else. I am not like anybody else, but this cause some difficulty for me as a married man. But God is good, SW has been gracious, but how long can I live in this state? If you ask me what I really want to do, I tell u I don't know. I mean I have a plan, but it's so easy to conform to the patterns of this world. How can I be transformed by the Word if the pull of this world seems so strong? The Word of God is powerful, I do not doubt it at all. I guess I could only pray...

Prayer is so powerful, I wonder why I have not spent time in prayer. I've been doing things, but I have not been praying. If I die today and God showed me that I didn't fulfill my fullest potential, it's most probably in my lack of prayer. I feel so strongly that I lack in this area. I am messing myself up by relying on my own understanding in all things pertaining to my life and the faith. How long can I sustain without prayer? How long can I sustain without agonising over my pathetic life. Why did I try to organize my life when I ought to agonize over it?

Yes! I am not organize because I do not agonize! I must submit to the Lord now. All my lack of self-control is evident. I am losing grip of my destiny. I give up running my life now. I totally give up. I am going to kill my old self today and put on Christ. I am so tired of building sandcastle in the air. Lord, please now, once again, reign in me.
