[ 764. Service ]
Pastor Henry Tan from Full Gospel Assembly came to preach yesterday. Preaching about the kingdom come; our expectancy of the Kingdom of God, and our perception and ownership over his kingdom. Ok, as usual i struggled to pay attention during sermon, something which i lost ever since i entered army. This verse really caught me:
2 Peter 1:5-8
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge; to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love.
Somehow i realized these things i used to possess, one by one, i lose them all. Losing them to carnality, losing them to worldliness values. Especially self-centeredness. Love, i guess it's back to where i truly started: it's really hard to love people especially after you've been through a hard time. It's easy to love those that love you, but those that hurt you and hate you, will you love them?
I failed that acid test.
And i just simply told God...
"God, i need a breakthrough. This year." |
