Hullo's and Goodbye's.

Hello people, if you're reading this fast and updated enough, today's literally the last day of this awesome year 2009! Truly its been an eventful year, right? Nobody in Malaysia didn't have a rough year. :)



Well I'm not going to be talking too much or taking verses from the bible today, but I just want to recap this year to each and everyone of us. Not individually though, I don't know what happened to each and every one of us. :/

Lets look at the things we've done this year. We'll start with the things that mattered the most to us. Could be an IU night at school, a date with a certain someone, an A1 for a certain subject, winning a game of football/basketball/badminton/tennis or such for the school?

It could be the most humble thing, per say I saved a rabbit on the road. (its my pet now,Batman)
heh.


Lets remind ourselves that all these things we have held close to our hearts, held so tightly, because all these mean so much to us it seems important, isn't so important in God's eyes after all.




God doesn't care how much you gave during offering time.
God doesn't care how many times you went to church.
God doesn't care how many events you helped to pull off.
God doesn't care whether you did good or not.






God doesn't care if you're just labeled a Christian.



What God cares is that you love him.
God cares that you gave what you can give for offering.
God cares that the fact you bring NON-CHRISTIAN friends to church.
God cares that you served willingly in anything for him.
God cares that your heart is set straight for loving him, and not just being a "Christian".



I could say many of us made the mistake of being a "Christian" this year. I could say I did, pretty much.
What does it mean to be a Christian? No text-book answers please, like in Pendidikan Moral.
Those questions don't make you think. You find 50 bucks on the floor, obviously dropped and lost. Sure la you give back, you get 2 marks.


but guys, think.

What does it mean to be a Christian?
I'm not going to go further than that.
You decide yourself, for the upcoming year of 2010.










Let's say goodbyes to the things we have done, that will hold us back from God when we want to meet him.

Throw away the sins.
Temptation can only do so much.


(argh I can't help it but add a verse here, sorry. Broke my promise. :/)

1 Corinthians 10:13 says ; No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.


I've got this memorized, and I hope you guys do that too. It's a really strong verse that helps me all the time. :)




Cast aside those idols in your lives, those things that you "cannot live without".

All you need is God. Believe me.
Believe me, but above all, have FAITH IN GOD.


Let the year 2010 be the year you try this out. Put God first in everything you do, regardless of PMR SPM BF/GF all that.

You'll see wonders happening in your life then. 2010 will be the beginning of a miraculous life if you allow it.
Try it. :)


Say hello to the person God wants you to be. :D



















Cheers,
Pee.
