Reflections...
When Jon first told me that it was my turn to post on the group's blog, I was like, huh, its my turn?? Caught totally unprepared. I had no idea where to start and it was like an essay assignment. The more you have to write it, the more nothing comes out. Then it became a little embarrassing, because if you have nothing to say, then what did you do during your quiet time? Sometimes I do it just out of habit, or because I have to read the Bible before going to sleep. But when I'm too tired (like last night) I fall asleep half-way. So now, with this blogging system, it will make you do your quiet time, if not you will have nothing to write. And while it may seem like a regime at the start, hopefully it will make us want to learn more about God on our own accord and not because Jon says its our turn to post something so better go and read. Hehe....
I have to be honest and not just appear to be righteous just because I know my group members are reading this. We are all growing.. (or is this just an excuse? haha...)I won't go into a holy-moly article on what I learnt, (more cause I don't know what to write) but then, I guess what I have to share is from the article in Our Journey for Sunday night. About Private Practice. See Matthew 6: 1-18.
Good behaviour may not be good if done for the wrong reasons. That got me thinking about why I was serving God, and reminded me that it is always because of Him and not because people had confidence in me. There's no point in like doing all the Christiany stuff if it is just to show people that you are a good Christian. So if you don't feel like doing it, don't do it. And then start to think about why you don't feel like doing it. Lol.. I'm talking in circles. Luckily no min word limit, if not I'll pour out more nonsense. Ya, I guess the main lesson is knowing my true intention when I am serving God, or when I talk to people, or do things.
