Deep thoughts



Good Friday has passed in a blink of the eye.
Then, as we talked about Jesus dying on the cross more than 2000 years ago today at youth, I suddenly feel overwhelmed with different emotions.
Especially when we 'watched' Passion of Christ today.
Okay. Technically, we didn't watch it. We watched the music video of Worthy is the Lamb. Which has scenes from the Passion of Christ.
Honestly, even though I've watched the actual show twice before, I still found myself being overwhelmed with emotions when I watched the scenes again today.
Looking at the sufferings that we put Jesus through.
We, the creation of God.
I feel ashamed.
Sometimes I wonder, what would the world be like if God did not make the decision of saving us through Christ.
How drastic the difference would be.


And again I'm reminded that I would not be where I am today, whether I like it or not, if it wasn't for God's grace.

"It's so unfair"

Indeed. Life is never fair. If life is fair, or was fair, none of us- sinful man- deserves to live. If you want to measure everything with fairness, then what I think is that it wasn't fair that Christ was crucified years ago. That was supposed to be our punishment. Yet, because of God's grace, here we are today.

Good Friday has acted as a reminder to me about God's grace yet again.
I, as a imperfect human, tend to forget time again that it isn't because of my own power that I am standing as I am today.

Lord, I thank you for what You have done








I lost my train of thoughts

















...



Today, as I was on my way home on the bus, I overheard this conversation happening between 2 teenagers. I wasn't eavesdropping k?!
Then one of them was talking about not getting a response from God when he prayed. That he was feeling helpless about the situation he's in already. That he is losing faith.
Then what the the other guy said really rang a bell.
He quoted from Matthew 6:8 "For your father knows what you need before you ask Him"
Then he went on talking about the 3 different responses we get from God when we pray.
Yes,
No,
Wait.
I really felt as if God was speaking to me.
Honestly, I felt exactly the same way the first guy is feeling just not too long ago.
That I felt like I was losing faith as I felt as though God was 'ignoring' me.
Then I realised. It wasn't that. It was just that I wasn't listening hard enough.
At that moment, I understood. God said Wait.
Perhaps I heard the answer. Just that my stubborn nature refused to accept it.

It's really amazing when you look at the ways God speaks to each and everyone of us. In so many different ways, yet coming from the same God.














"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
