HELLO TODAY I LED CG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!
Hebrews 6:4 "It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace."
grace shared this once during prayer group in school. so it's scary, and it applies to so many people. who is a perfect Christian? we accept God, and then some of us continue with our sins, some profess their love for God outwardly but do nothing to show it.
so i think i must really thank God for letting me have the chance to lead on a topic so close to heart. cos i really had so many things to say!
after grace shared that verse she said it seems unfair that those Christians from birth have so many things to accomplish in order to get to heaven, but those that receive Christ just before they die still get to heaven.
being humans i think we have our own wordly standards of fairness, but we'll never know God's standards. but we can be sure that we'll be glorified for our works.
and then priscilla asked why we had to do so much, when God's love was supposed to be unconditional. which had me for a little while! but i think it's only natural that you make sacrifices and pledge to become better for someone you love. it happens alot in human relationships, so why not with God?
i have so many things to accomplish. like loving my neighbour as myself. which is pretty hard considering i have mood swings. and i don't necessarily see the good things in people all the time. and loving God! i've always thought of how i've been loving God. pastors keep preaching it, we keep singing it in worship songs, but i don't feel it. love should feel warm and fuzzy right? like if you're thinking of someone you like then you start smiling and feeling happy. but feelings come and go.
so i really have to make steps to show my love! like commit to studying and being a nice person and going to chuch and serving and witnessing and praying and loving. it'll be hard but then as pastor dave said it's when you should ask God for help and He'll carry you through
CANDICE! â¥
