You must be wondering why I'm ranting too often or found out too many 'rant' posts recently. It's because I think is better to express it here rather than to the people you loved. To me, this blog is a place where I can share my personal life and thoughts with you. Whether you know me personally or a stranger to me, I truly hope that you will understand that we are different and special in our own ways.
The problems we encountered are different. If you don't believe there is a God, you may take it as a bad or good luck. I would take it as a blessings although sometimes I complain too much. My advise to you, don't take it as a comparison to your own problem or whatsoever. Nobody is better or worse off than the other. We have no right to judge or compare. I just want to let you know that there is a Creator who creates this world including you and me in His special image (Genesis 1:27). Have you thought of that? Even scientist cannot tell how human being existed. There is a real Creator out there and most of all He LOVES us! Isn't it special that we look like Him? Is there a religion telling you this? This fact can only be found in a Bible. Fyi, the BIBLE is the most Best Selling Book in the world. Why? Simple, because it is a Living Word of God! It's not dead.
Normally I will post anything related to 'my experience as a Christian' in Xanga, but this time I think I should to share it here. I hope you won't find me as a 'negative' minded person, which is totally not true. If you know me personally, I'm a cheerful and positive person. But remember, I'm not perfect at all. I made mistakes too. At times, I'm a very emotional person. The only one who can understand me well enough is the Almighty One.
I know God is watching. He is with me all the time. He knows what am I thinking right now. For so many years, I was raised by my Christian parents, nurtured and taught me about this ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD and JESUS in the Bible. Since young, I was brought to the Church every Sunday, and on every Saturday, I was occupied in the Girls' Brigade activities. Through it all, I learned who is this Saviour, and personally accepted Him as a teenager.
Well, just now is just bit of introduction about myself. But why it is so hard to be a Christian? I can tell you that the Bible is like a daily guide in my life AND most of the time it contradicts what He wants me to be (His Way) rather than what I want to be (My Way). I can say we (humans) are selfish creatures. We don't think of others first but the Bible said we should put other first than yourself. It means we should ought to love others (everyone including your enemy). For example, you may find it hard to forgive or forget a person you hate but the Bible tell you to do so. See the difference? Most believers find it hard to do so and that's why they chose not to believe or follow Jesus at all. They dropped their faith in Him and stray away. But God never forsake them. He is a good shepherd, finding His lost sheep - to come to save that which was lost. I guess God is hurt when we disobey Him.
Often the word 'obey' appear in the Bible. This apply to every Christian, we are told by the Word of God (Bible) to obey Him. To me, it's a respect to obey His Word. Why? Because He is someone big although invisible and love me so much that He gave His Only Son, Jesus to die on the cross for my sin. He is 'A Wonderful Daddy in Heaven', someone who I could really rely and depend on.
What if I choose not to obey Him? God can be angry too, for He has feeling too. Remember, we are created like Him, and therefore, feelings are in part of us. And if I don't put God first in the FIRST priority in everything I do, sooner or later I will turn hair-wired/crazy soon. I know I can't put Him aside or ignore His presence, I won't be able to solve a problem by myself. I need Him in my life. Without Him, everything is impossible and the problems keep coming back and forth or round and round it goes. I know that He wants me to learn and grow up to become mature in Christ. There is no easy way out unless I face or solve it by asking Him for help. I have learned that a problem is a blessing from Him rather than a 'bad thing' happen in my life.
I remember this verse - 1 Corinthians 10:13, temptation can be very 'sup sup sui' (easy in Cantonese Language) if you face it with God (He is the Rock!!!) It tells us that we can bear/manage it. God is always there to test me at anytime and anywhere. If I'm not prepare (by putting on the Armor of God - Ephesians 6:10-18), I will easily get emotional unstable and lost hope in Him. That's the fact. I know I need to read His Word and pray often.
But you know what? Sufferring is also a part of Christian life. We all suffer for Him. Who says being a Christian is always an easy way out to eternity? No, NO and Big NO! Is not easy at all. Take a look at this verse - 2 Timothy 3:12!
LOVE, FAITH and HOPE are the KEYS in the Bible. How these words can be so powerful and meaningful at the same time?
Best of all - God is LOVE! My Love!
