2 Cor 5:14-15 (NIV)
14For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
15And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
Everyday has been a mad rush so far... But I am thankful for the fellowship I had with the Youths in YF sessions, etc... Few weeks back, we had a video screening that has been a constant reminder to me. It's regarding 5 missionaries who gave their life for Christ.. Two days upon arriving, they were savagely murdered by the Aucas-The ones who they hope to share the gospel. They were compelled by the Love of Christ!!!
I have been struggling to please God in all that I do, instead of pursuing results. Yet the going has been tough. I remembered memorizing this verse. Of course they were jus words that doesn't mean anything to me till now. I alw tot how will it be possible for us not to live for ourselves, it goes against human nature. It's because I din fully comprehand the first part of the verse and i guess i will never be able to fully comprehand till i see God in heaven someday.
When life is tough, it is good to remember what Christ did on the cross for worthless and filthy sinners like (you and) me. The INFINITE goodness He has shown us in our EVERYDAY life. Past weeks though busy and trying, had been a lovely encouragement and blessings filled one. Sometimes i am jus so blind to the blessings God put into our lives everyday, often taking dos for granted.
Thank the Lord also for brothers and sisters in Christ. Working on the 25th anniversary have been a great encouragement. It is nice to see of God's faithfulness thru the 25 years and how the youths have grown together-both physcially and spiritually. The end product is encourging.. haha.. but the process have been relatively stressful cos of the deadline and also a test the following monday. Praise God for Spen, Irv & Nana who lend a helping hand to put together the video. haha.. I tink along the way, i have been stressing Spen and Irv, but thank God that they are all so patient and understanding.
Let's strive to Live a Life Worthy of Our Calling.
