4 Changes that sets u apart from unbelievers.
1. Attitude towards your circumstances.
Meaning: Willing to have faith that God is in control even when things are bad. Really bad.
2. Strong Character
Meaning: One that will hold fast to God? Not give up easily.
3. Concentration
Meaning: Focusing on God's purpose for our lives.
4. Confidence
Meaning: The "thing" that gives you the surety to do something.
I suppose I really lack 2, 3. I tend to veer off course frequently and that is because I have a weak character. Sometimes, I tend to struggle with 1,4 too. I suppose life hasn't always been kind to everyone. Doubts just creep into your head. Pray, pray and pray... I just reflect badly on Jesus don't I? I try my best not to reflect badly on God... Yet, I have to be honest at the same time. Some people just appear to be happy even though they are hurting inside. I don't know how they do it. I'm an open book, I don't really try to hide what I'm feeling. Though I'm capable to doing so, but it's just too tiring to do that, no?
Sermon was about moving and giving. It tied up with the faith pledge. Honestly, I can't even promise $120 as my money does not belong to me. I am really going by faith after all the events that have happened recently. But, I should be able to if nothing goes wrong. I feel that I give too little to God.. Everything seems to be about self-gratification. When will I stop living for myself?? Then life will have more meaning won't it?
I just thank God for all the people in my life. Though I get majorly upset and pissed off with them at times, they still are wonderful in their own unique way. Just wondering, how far would you go out of your way to help someone? How much would you sacrifice? And why would you sacrifice that much? Very often, I tend to ask people to make sacrifices for me. Just because I think I deserve it. Things just don't work this way.
