had 2 long talks with Dom a few days back and i found my point of view changed and turned.
many things that used to seemed to so all gradually changed during the past few days.
we touched on the subject of worldliness.
and yes, i hate worldliness. i do i do and i do.
i so do.
dont ever come to me, and tell me you're two-timing my God with the world.
because now, i detest your spirit.
if you want to serve, then serve with all your heart, mind and soul.
dont take my God for granted, and serve because everyone else around you's doing so.
neither do you serve because you cant find a better way to burn your time.
if you're hanging on because you need an insurance and gurantee to heaven, then piss off to suntec. they've got what u need.
i hate it when someone takes granted of anything, anyone, and much more my God. and i hate it too, when someone pushes Him away..
He deserves much much more.. remember Calvalry?
He has His unconditional love, but i dont have mine.
please, let your spirit die.
when you start to indulge in this world, you know something's wrong. solve it.
and yes, im really angry.
yet so sorry. im so, so sorry.
im sorry, because im radical.
here is a devotional from Homeword written by Kelly McFadden. and here it goes:
Galations 1:10 (NIV)
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
It seemed like any other recess in eighth grade. A group of us were all outside playing when it happened. I overheard a boy tell one of my friends that he didn’t like me. I was devastated. Now, this wasn’t someone I particularly cared for either, but the words stung all the same. Someone didn’t like me. To be honest, that had never occurred to me before. I went home that afternoon wounded and working to figure out what I could do differently.
I learned a very important lesson that day: No matter what you do, you will never be liked by everyone. Even more important is the lesson I learned later: The most important opinion to hear is God’s voice, not the voice of people. If you live your life trying to please everyone, you will only fail. Approval-seeking from others will only serve to get you in trouble. We must focus on what God sees in us and desires for us. That will lead to a life well-lived.
So what does God want from us? He wants us to live a life that is pleasing to Him and set apart. He wants us to love our neighbors, love ourselves and have an attitude of service to all around us. He wants us to recognize that we are no better than anyone else. We are equal in His eyes. He wants us to rest in His hope and strength. And more than anything, He wants us to know, that even when we fall short of His standards, He loves us unconditionally.
In all of us, there is a little girl or boy wanting to be liked. And that is not bad in itself. The danger comes when we make those opinions count more than what God thinks. God views us the same each and every day. We are His beloved creations, made in His image. There is nothing that can separate us from His love.
there you go and ciao.
stay warm and stay radical, my loves.
