Sudden Change

Monday, June 13, 2005

Why the sudden change in the content of my blogs? The answer is simple: a sudden change of heart.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

I do not wish to change the template of this blog for it perfectly illustrates me. The change in me is more on the inside. I have realized after the camp I have attended last June 03, 2005 to June 05, 2005 that Gods word brings life. I have felt His presence, no words are able to able to describe the mere presence of God. His presence is able to give me the strength and has effectuated change in me. By the power of Gods word, I am able to resist temptation and is able to be joyful in any circumstances. I recently discovered blogs of alex and abbey and I am thankful for their boldness to share God's love in what they write in their blogs. I have to be honest that I haven't been showing God's goodness even in the things I write, I give way to my own needs and desires without giving God a second thought. Without remembering what Christ did on the cross for me. No wonder many times I have fallen short of what His will for my life is. No wonder there was no true peace, joy and contentment. Each time I read their blogs, I always end up feeling refreshed and peaceful inside. It is not because they only talk about themselves but they relate their own lives to the beauty of what Jesus did on the cross for them. They include verses of scripture. I am not trying to imitate them but I am making a choice that if I am to take time to write blogs, I will do it for the glory of God in Christ Jesus. What better way than to share His words and relate them to my own personal relationship with Jesus.

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Luke 6:47 - Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

I have come to realize that each time I read blogs from other people, to me, they are but a grain of sand. Just among the thousands and the millions out there screaming and shouting, wanting to be heard and cared. Is it not a wonder why people find time to write the most exciting part of their life so they will be noticed. I am not generalizing my opinion but in my observation, every one wants to have a glimpse of a persons life through his or her blog. I pray that my blog entries will give people a glimpse of God's goodness. No longer the self-centered, "I want" attitude.
