| | Matters of the Heart & Mind
Having
started working recently..for slightly past 4 mths already. It has opened my
mind to a whole new lot of experiences, perceptions, mindsets, working styles
and personalities..from all walks of life. Ppl whom you wonder if you can
actually trust; or whether or not to wear your heart on your sleeves...or to
keep it carefully hidden, for fear of being betrayed?
I can testify that the transition from a college graduation to a young working
adult is difficult..more difficult when there isn't someone to guide you along
the way. Worst still, we've to grapple with real-life issues such as managing
expectations (both of the employer and employee), the never-ending mgmt of the
newly-gained "purported" freedom in finances, family and social-life
balance, and not forgetting, the various ministry commitments that any young adult would have...Learning, learning, and more learning...
You're left wondering if you're doing things right, thereabout trying ever so
hard to survive in this "rat-race" that looks so promising from
afar...and at the same time, wondering how one's faith can effectively work in
the marketplace? Next,how can we as Christians, be truly truly
truimphant...than instead of barely surviving....
I myself know of many friends who are barely surviving...No wonder the Devil
doesnt have to work too hard to get us down and out...
Easier still, swept away in the wave of busyness or even ministry till we don’t
even realize that our hearts have become cold and reckless..when God has been
seemingly reduced to become a part of my usual agenda…
Nevertheless,
He never ceases to amaze me in worship, in spite of myself.
I
was reminded that once again, He looks at me as clean, spotless and most of
all, ALREADY TRUIMPHANT over my circumstance..becos of what He has done. And as
such, keep my life away from sin…to be a workman approved by God (2 Tim 2:15)
Oceans Will
Part – Hillsong If my heart
has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I’m blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done
Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I’ll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
I
have much to say about how many church groups these days only preach half the
gospel..the blessings of salvation..but fail to equally emphasize on the cost
of following Jesus.
That
I shall keep for another time.
p/s: All in all, nothing beats such sweet things as 6 lovely stalks of roses in front of you =) stolen from a wedding..
