Today, was a great day to go out with my friends. haha. Taken some neo prints and was reflecting upon God's Word, and at the end of the night, I blessed my brother's girlfriend! A potential christian!
I was reflecting what happens if I go into relationship, and am I really able to cope?
Haha, I do have a lot of relationships with family and friends, but what happened if I go into another type...?
Yes, it's BGR.
That can go into marriage. Hah, cool. To think of that, my girlfriend must be this and that and this and that. Though lots, it must be inside her character. Takes time though, it will makes our lives in later days a bit more smoother. =) Another thing is, my girlfriend must be a strong christian and same church as me. Other than that, all I need her is to be understanding, and some intelligence. But whatever a gal will land into a church because to have a relationship with me, I will never accept her, because the focus of salvation is Lord, and remember, if there's no God, there's no present Jimmy. Nothing can represent Him, and seek Him, He will answer your prayers. Hah. =)
Certainly, I got someone more to inspire. But what's more in a relationship?
It's all about blessing the other person, and yup, you will try and give your best. At the end of the day, when relationship collapses, it's neither fault, for the Love for each other has no wrong but rather, trying to improve oneself before going to another relationship.
I am certainly kinda unstable, maybe in all circumstance, or maybe not. I do not know. But certainly, my faith level is not as strong as my brothers. =) Yet, at the same time, I saw another interesting thing.
We must have God in between us. Another thing is, while having a relationship, made it a point that, everything was to be God, not feeding upon each other's love. That love that provide each other is just only for us to feel that both are together, and trusting in each other, like how both had trusted Lord at the start that both met their future ones. Laying down everything into hands of God.
Others may not see it why.
Yet, it is also, when we trusted Lord for the relationship, He comes into middle ground, telling and comforting us everything will be fine.
After all, a relationship is not about face, not about skills, but the touch between God and human.
That is why, I need a strong christian as my half, not I dun want to find, but it's hard to find. Maybe others may not see it, but I do.
What happens if I fall?
What happens if I backslide from church?
My friend bought "Teenage" to take a look something inside.
After reading one of the sub topics, "my boyfriend's a wreck" and luckily I hope I am not like him, or maybe I am...=/
I do realised that, relationship between both, do weighs, but the relationship with God, in all circumstances, weigh even heavier. And so, if there is a need to release and go nearer to God, I will do so. In my heart, nothing worths more that our FAther's love.
It's Him who show me wisdom, love, power, hope and faith.
It's something than all things, that is Love. =)
Praise God for such things during my growth in Christ. =)
Another came to me. Today, I reflect upon the same Word today.
Fasting today was better as I repent yesterday and thank God for the prayer meet, it's indeed a powerful prayer meet for our leaders and us. Thank God.
30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. 32Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." 33As it is written:
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
Romans 9: 30 to 33
I have stumbling stones in my life and God put it there. Any sins arises after the stones are put is something that I have created. Realising one of my stumbling stones is relationship, was it better for me to settle down now? or to settle down later?
But I am sure for this. I will have to go for a trial in my life for my stumbling stone. The outcome will depends on my way of handling things. So, what can I do?
"In God, we trust." Rather than guessing and foressing all things, let it be something that under God's control. We will just walk. Stumbling stones are known for its name, so how about just cross it?
In God we trust, something I have actually lost touched of, and at the same time, are we able to take that fall that Christ has set for us? And after that fall, are we able to rise up again even stronger? =)
Another thing is, are we able to take this stumbling stone to throw at others? or maybe even throw back to Devil, and thank God? =)
Do we want it to be a lesson, or a lesson for us to learn and teach others? =)
No matter what, since the stones is there, let us cross the stone and made the stone a milestone in our lives, where we have walked through great difficulties and have great times. =)
thank God for everything. =)
