  • blameless :)

    blamelessness
    ..wooo...its so tough...
    i find it one of the toughest Christian teachings...

    now wats blameless....?
    blameless means being without any faults...being away frm the very sight of sin...

    now u can understand y i find it very tough...
    evn if im doing somthng that right n not a sin...but if it looks wrong frm the outside, its bettr to avoid it...
    lets draw a line between sinning n not sinning....does it make any sense to take it to the edge of the line n saying "look im safe, i haven crossed the line yet" ?....

    the Bible teaches one to run away frm the vry sight of sin....

    lets say for example that i do somthng thats not a sin...but to an outsider...it seems to be a sin,coz he doesn know the whole matter...
    now if that person looks upon me as a leader and sees me doing 'sin', will tend to associate me wid that sin fr quite a period of time...moreover ill lose my credibility infront of him....
    so in here, im failing to imitate Christ coz He portrayed a sinless life...

    i have two options : either i talk to the person n clear the misunderstanding...
    or i jus stop doing that thng which may seem to be a sin....


    the first option is tough coz i may not know who really thnks and assumes me to have sinned...but if i stop doing the thng which can give a wrong impression to other ppl...that wud be the best....


    well...blameless living is tough..n thats a reason more to pray n ask Christ fr wisdom...

  • misinterpretation...

    i woke up at 5:45am today..woooow...its rather unusual for me..coz unless thers somthng imp,i wont evn get up be it anytime...
    maybe it ws the 6 cups of coffee i had the previous day as it ws my EXAM DAY...lol

    but then i opted not to go for that choice of reasoning...
    ...i started wondering..y did i wake up rather abruptly...first i thought i ws thirsty..went to the kitchen n drank acup of water...but i wsnt satisfied..i know it wasnt water or thirst, but somthng else...

    i wondered...ws it God? is He going to tell me somthng? is it y He is planning to send me to school early?
    usually wen i have time bfr the class, i read the Bible or i allow my mind to wander n thnk free..that is thnk out of the box for a while.....

    i guessed, maybe God wants to tell me somthng n ws waiting for me to listen..so i got ready..dropped off jeswin to wrkplace and....now wat? shud i go to my classroom or RSC ?
    i strangely choose to go to the golf course(i thought God ws leading me there)...i parked my car in wheatshocker dorms n walked to a bench in WSU golf course...read my Bible for a while...again let my mind wander off...

    the green canvas of nature ws beautiful...the golden rays of sun shown through the leaf bunches of the lush green trees...and the areas it fell...woooo..diamonds evrywhere...the dew drops(sprinkled water actually) showed themselves off like priceless shiny diamond lookin crystals waiting to evaporate off....
    the cool breeze moved swaying the trees and plants...i wondered how enthralling it wud be if i wer to sit on a tree branch njoyin the breeze singing sweet songs n creatin an amazing orchestra using evrythng as its instrument.

    but hellooooo.....am i here to njoy the nature or listen to God..???
    so now i thought to take a walk...
    i walked along through a pebbled path listening to some music..i ws startin to feel anxious n a bit disappointed...for i really expected God to tell me or show me somthng...maybe the music wud reveal somthng..keepin the hopes high...i walked..
    'he knows my name'...i hummed along....
    'above all'...i hummed along again
    ....but, i know He knows my name n that He loves me...is it wat God wantd to tell me??? maybe ???

    nooooo...thers no maybes in God msg..i know that if He wants to tell me somthng...He will clearly show wat it is n will let me know that its frm Him....

    "u cannot stroll in this area"....uhhh
    " this is a golf course n not a park.....its dangerous"
    an elderly man broke my thoughts...ummm....
    i apologized n thanked him for letting me know...

    liar...liar....
    i knew very well that i ws not allowed to walk in the golf course,unless of course im playin...

    i ws disappointed n frustrated to an extent...God din tell me anythng...
    maybe, He hadnt planned to tell me anythng in the first place....maybe i jus woke up coz of the coffee...
    hmmmm...lots of maybes....

    i started walking bac....
    stopped listening to music...no need, i said to myself..hmmm

    as i ws walking...i started thnkin again...
    how did i expect God to speak to me???
    by the way, will GOD EVR WANT ME TO DO SOMTHNG THATS A SIN ???
    n not following the rules bout the golf course is certainly a sin...

    a realization slowly started dawning upon me....

    i interpret God's msg the way i want it...n not the way He wants...

    for example...wen im readin the Bible..wen i come across verses like 'fear not, Im wid you' n stuff...i rarely look at it through my life but wil quote it as an example to others....
    'be humble n a servant....'....this will make me thnk that the ppl i know...shud start puttin off their egos n pride n start serving others...but i more often not look into my character...

    i realized, its sooo very easy to misuse God's word to satisfy our ego needs..so veryy easy to thnk that God is guiding u somver(a situation ver u like)...and actually not see God's direction...

    hmmmmm.....

    welll....nw i do really thnk that i got somthng...God gave me a small msg...small n tiny for God...its big fr me...

    so wat woke me up??? haha

  • "Because He Lives
    I Can Face Tomorrow

    Because He Lives
    All Fear Is Gone

    Because I Know He Holds The Future
    And Life Is Worth The Living

    Just Because He Lives"

    we sang this song in the pre-service prayer today...evn though i had heard it many times bfr, it nevr struck me that it really is true...or if i put it in a bettr way...im now realizing the meaning n essence of thes words...

    wats my life worth anywayz?

    in Ecclesiastes, King Solomon talks bout vanity...vanity of labor n toil...
    btw...Solomon was the wisest man ever to have lived on the face of this earth...(Jesus excluded).
    but then, the love of God who sacrificed His only Son for us has made our life worth somthng.

    All the labor of man is for his mouth,
    and yet the soul is not satisfied...

    y ???

    simply coz we try to fill our heart n soul wid the material comforts of the world....where, in reality, our hearts n souls long to have a relationship wid its maker...
    a relationship which lasts forevr...
    He wants to talk to us, walk wid us, be wid us....
    He wants us to rely on Him...for anythng n evrythng...

    i jus want to grow closer to Him...as close as possible...closest...

    'Lord! search my heart n cleanse it off evrythng thats not pleasing to Ur eyes...'

    because He lives, my life is worth living...living for Him..to glorify His holy name..evn though im the least worthy in His herd of sheep....

    Glory be to God in the Highest !
