Old Reminder
This was written in April 2006 in my TOSOG blog. What a timely reminder about the passion I used to have for R-age. I think that flame is still burning, though it's only flickering. :)X
I will persevere no matter what. I do not want others to see that I am compromising when I confessed about my spiritual condition. There is no compromising when it comes to the Word of God. The objective of my confession is to remember those I have been given charge of. Their growth in Christ must be my goal. To see Christ exemplified in their lives, I have to be an example myself. The Word revealed Jesus' compassion to the lost and he opposed the Pharisees and other religious hypocrites. I read that and saw myself as one of those people that Jesus opposed. I don't want to be in their shoes. I want to be a Peter, a John or a Paul.
Christ is the source of our strength. I don't worship a God that I made up in my head. However every basis of my living is from the Written Word. All I need to know about who I worship stems from the root of the Word. The Word filled me with knowledge of who I worship and the fullness of His character is shown only thru the Word by the enlightening of the Holy Spirit. Those who have the Word are without excuse for not knowing the Word. Those who doesn't have the Word have the Holy Spirit to guide them. But we're so blessed to have the greatest resource book in the world! If we love God, we will thirst and hunger for more of God because He means everything to our system. Loving God means loving the Word, but loving the Word doesn't mean we love God, unless Christ is the object of our passion and delight when Christ in highlighted in our reading, meditating and living.
There is a desire to do things right. Not men's way, but God's way. As a RL under the cover of my pastors, I shall respect that covering. I shall make every effort to build up the CMs under my care and for their spirtual growth I want to cultivate. I will practice self-control and continually renew my mind and be filled with the Holy Spirit so that everyday will be day where my life brings Glory to His name.
Oh God, I just want to be like You
I only really want to do the things You want me to
On this hill of the truth I gladly stand on
So I stood on this hill I chose to die on
Worship before Your throne
You speak in language eternal
There Your glory is shown
Worship before Your throne
You speak in language eternal
There Your glory is shown
