second chances.
i listened today to a parent who told me the reason her daughter isnt coming to church is because she feels that people force her to share. on one hand i believe it is with good intentions that the teacher asks these questions. cos for people like me, sometimes we can become ignorant to the fact that some questions need answers to the reason for things , why things happen, why things have to be a certain way. on the other hand, it also can be very stressful for people, to share how they truly feel and also make them feel like they've been heard, make them feel that no answer is wrong and lead them to feel appreciated for contributing because it took a lot of effort to even say it aloud. i pray now for this friend of mine that she will find in her heart the forgiveness to the approach that made her feel uncomfortable. i pray also that from now on, people would be more sensitive to other people's feelings and such. it was a good 5mins i feel, listening.
my life has been lived for myself from the beginning. ive never really felt that ive given up too much for God. now i am cruising along doing things my way, hoping that it is God's will for my life. someone spoke to me about the dangers of hell a while back. and i felt a little serious and scared inside that there might also be a possibility that i might not make it to heaven even though i call out "Lord, Lord."
a year has past now and all i remember of it was working hard for my education and my studies and foregoing things i used to like to do for the sake of the future. the future in which i am reminded is temporal and possibly worthless not precious. die luh.
what do i have to give up to save my eternal soul?
what changes do i have to make in order that i might glorify God here with my time on earth?
felt inspired today to share about my thoughts and hope to God that he hears my silent plea for his guidance and leading towards a better life lived out for him, from this day forth, now and forevermore, till i see Jesus again, and hopefully he will welcome me into the gates of heaven, to the afterlife, the life after my physical death.
