.His Mercy is New everY mornInG.
What an eventful day. Remember I said my sis went to church today?Yep and I pray that she will continue to attend church services.
I went to church too. New Creation Church, one of 4 mega churches here (or is it 3?), invited a pastor from Norway. He preached on grace and law, Hagar and Sarah, Galatians 4. Gospel revolution is happening now. Many pastors are preaching the message of grace. "Cast out the bondwoman and her son...",the message of today's sermon says. Law and Grace cannot live under one roof. By trying to keep the Law, we are inviting legalism back into our Christian walk and the result is we put too much emphasis on being religious (e.g observing rituals to the max) that we forgot to listen to what God wants to tell us and wants us to do. The harder someone trying to observe the law, the more his or her sins show. Peace and Joy departed from them. Beside, No way we can earned our way to salvation. Only through Jesus Christ we can obtain salvation, healing, prosperity, joy and peace.
Yup..These are the things I have been learning for the past week.
The day just got better. My room has a lively yet cozy feeling. The base colour is red. Yep..I am the proud owner of this little sanctuary. Thanks to Waylon for inspiring me and helping me. =)
Actually, there's other reason why I am happy today. The reason is..Shhhsssss...Keeping it close to my heart for now. Happinness is a scary thing now because I can't be sure whether I can depend on that reason to be happy. It was kinda vague. Yeah...here and there..bits and pieces. I feel like I'm playing treasure hunt. In this game, some jigsaw puzzle pieces are hidden and I'm suppose to use the dropped hints to find them and piece them together. The thing is these hints are either too vague or nowhere to be found. When you found it, you need to weigh its possibilty to be one of the hints. Make sure that you are not fooling yourselve. I do feel tired and sick of this game. Feeling of giving up is there all a long. But, when I'm ready to give up, new hints spring up and well...vicious cycle..what can I say...Weird eh...
Anyway, did I find any jigsaw puzzle pieces today? Yup I did. Many many pieces. I almost ruined the game. Hhaha..the fault is entirely mine. Hint: something on the wall of my cell. Hopefully my action did rectify some stuff there. Well..whatever it is, today is full of ups and downs...
I broke down right after the QnA session. Why?Nevermind. It has passed. SQ said he needs to wash his bedsheet and cushion coz got my tear stained. Anyway, I'm ready to take on challenges. Many obstacles and uphill tasks in front but I'm sure God will see me through coz i have favour with God.
