i've just been thinking, every child of God has his or her unique adventure with the Father. God accompanies some on rollercoaster rides and some others on a peaceful float in calm waters. some may be thrown off when the ride gets a little rougher and more violent than usual while others may well get a wee bit too comfy bobbing up and down in such an oscillatory motion that they somehow end up drifting off course and risk being carried away by a sudden lift of the wind and waves and eventually get washed down to the depths by a waterfall. i guess this is a very real threat to every child of God and to avoid tumbling down to the ruins we'll have to learn to stop and smell the flowers every now and then and thank God for His blessings even in every fluffy cloud in the sky of blue painted by Him just for us to marvel at.
"16 Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.
17 "They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. [a] I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him."
(Mal 3:16-17)
drawing up our scroll of remembrance would certainly enable us to bathe once again in the river of gratitude and thankfulness and subsequently, to clothe ourselves with a fresh change of attitude and thus aptitude in this journey. drawing up a scroll of remembrance is easy, i think. it's the first step that's the tricky part; be it having the desire to do so or simply just willing yourself to get down to doing it. i was just talking to jacob two days ago and he said something that reallyreally spoke volumes of a faith marked by maturity. he said something along the lines of thinking about why it was hard to see how good God is in his life. he then concluded that it didn't matter that he doesn't have out-of-the-world testimonies to share like others may, his best testimony would be that he's a sinner saved by grace and he has a living relationship with a living God. yeap. what a testimony indeed:) it's been on my mind since then and it really brings me back to where it really matters. and because of this testimony i'm all imbued with a deep-rooted joy that makes me smile to myself even when i'm walking. well actually it'd be better to think of it as i'm smiling to God hee! but thanks for never failing to inspire me, jacob, i'm real glad to be in the same family of God as you! :D
