a christian in reality

our lives are testing grounds. we are put to test on the things learnt, the things spoken. do we walk the talk or just yak yak yak about it?

was talking to a couple of friends and they shared about their experiences. and i really agree with what was being said. all the trials or situations we are in, we're in it for a reason. To help us grow. If we focus on the problem or trial and forget our real identity, then we may just be discouraged. But knowing our real destiny on earth, it shd be the other way. We shd grow from each experience, grow closer and more dependent on God. Becos, we see how small we are and how we can't make it by ourselves. We NEED Him every moment!

it's hard though. that's the reality of a christian life. i'm learning to trust God and move on. Oh Lord, help us grow in U! To not focus on ourselves and obey U in your commands because that's what U delight in.

"This is Love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith." 1 John 5:3-4
