I'm home finally. I am still recuperating from the long flight that I had a few days ago. My body is trying to adapt to the new changes and I am hoping that I will be back to my normal routine very soon. I realise that when one choose to do something, no amount of reasoning or excuses can stop one from doing so. I'm looking forward to a better and healthier lifestyle for the long haul. I'm glad I can cultivate this in Australia.
What I have learnt today.
i) Loving my enemies
- God is love. He loves all who are made in his images. He has called us to love him with all our soul, might and mind and to love others like we love ourselves. We are called to love our "enemies" and this is what made us different. "Hurting people" hurt others without realising it themselves. God has shown me that a greater way of loving them is by laying down ourselves at the cross. This is how we can overcome evil. Not by being evil but by loving them as how we love ourselves. Even those with the hearts of stones are in desperate need of hope and above all, love. I want to choose to love, despite all things. This love is unconditional. This love is AGAPE. This is Gods' love.
ii) Obeying God is better than sacrifice
- God knows what is the best for us. He directs and guides us in accordance to His will. His will frees us to be the best of what we can be. I want to choose to obey Him and not what I think is good for me at the moment. Father, give me the courage to act in accordance to your guidance. I know your way is better than mine and I want to obey you humbly. You know what is best for me and I want to just follow you. Thank you for your love, for wanting the best for me.
Today is a NEW DAY,
What was yesterday is GONE,
What is tomorrow is yet to COME,
Therefore, Today BEGINS the FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Today is the day that the Lord has made
and I shall REJOICE & BE GLAD IN IT.
AMEN!
Loving you always,
LiveByFaith
