in dat devo book dey gave d example of a live football match n d only seats left for you is in a crowd of ppl dat support the team dat u dun..it so happens dat d team u support is winnin but how will u react?can u imagine if u suddenly cheered in a crowd dat doesn't agree wif ur opinion?4 me dats a big challenge..shy la=P
haha i gave d example dat a bunch of my close frens n d ppl dat i hang wif tink dat phie is a bad person..but i tink shes nice n dat she din't mean 2 make dem terasa..den i asked..so how?would u defend ur fren who in ur opinion is a good person?or would u jus go along wif d crowd choosin 2 b content wif wat u knew was d truth?in d verse John 7:10-13, it tells d story of jesus n ppls opinions bout him..some thot he is a good man while oders sed hes a fraud..BUT NO1 would say anythin publicly..besides god gave us d great commision of sharin d gospel..SHARIN meanin VOICIN it out..if dats not reason enuf 2 share den tink about dis:
"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven"
~Matthew 10:32-33~
A fact hit me a few days ago i tink thou i 4got when was it..sum1 told me dat a person inviting u 2 stay at his hse 4 a couple of days is ENTIRELY different as some1 ADOPTING you to be their children..1stly tink of urself as d parent, it'll b so mafan..sumore gota take care of dat person, etc etc..but u know wat..dats wat god did 4 us..he not only took care of us from before we were formed in d womb, but he made us his children..
so heres a fact 2 tink about..wat if..lets say u got into an argument wif ur parents n ran away from home cos u doan dem as ur parents cos u doan 2 do as dey tell u 2..den lets say u got into trouble..like u got arrested when u werent doin anytin wrong!n like overseas u know parents can bail out dere kids..so imagine..ur only hope, ur parents, ur saviour dat would b able 2 do sumtin about d situation ur in..imagine dat at dat point in time...YOUR PARENTS DISOWNED U!!!!!AHhHhHhHHhHH!!!so how now?how would dat make u feel?dey abandoned u when u needed dem..but den again..u din't wan dem as ur parents cos u din't wana listen 2 wat dey wanted u to do..i guess dats a situation dat verse is talkin bout..thou i tink my example is kinda confusin..ngeh..owelz
wel tanks god 4 helpin me throu dis..i know you won't bring me to anytin i cannot go throu..d fact to remember is dat in d end..glory to u beautiful saviour..i know i've grown wif u dis yr..n it wasn thru ways i thot it would be..^.^
