Answer to previous post:Cold doesn't exist. It's the absence of heat.Evil doesn't exist. It's the absence of God.Hate doesn't exist. It's the absence of love.Darkness doesn't exist. It's absence of Light.Fear doesn't exist. It's the absence of hope.So don't let the Devil fool you with illusions!Just reached home from The Da Vinci Code seminar at Hope just now. Awesome. I really wanted to go up to ask a question... only, I didn't know what to ask. LOL! I didn't read the book, figured it be best if I attended the seminar and learnt more, before I actually took a wade into the deep end of the pool. The upside's my faith wasn't affected, but the downside's I didn't come prepared with any questions. Awww. Nevertheless, I still learnt a lot!
Anyway my sheep just surprised me with an
encouraging SMS.
"Good night Windez my bony friend. You are the lamer of Hope RP. Your jokes can freeze the air. With your straggly straw hair, when I need you, you'll be there."
Way to go dude, rock on, grow in your faith! We'll see miracles rippling through Hope RP!
On overcoming problems, inspired by the talk with Alvin. Did you know, each time we feel we are constricted by problems, it's just a wall we have built around us? If only we do not run around looking for the way out, but instead learn to look upward, realising that the wall can be scaled over, we would have overcomed the challenge. Problems arise from sin, a fracture of our character. If, then, we solve the root issue, that is our character issue, we find the solution to our problem and similar future problems. If, however, we choose to run around the constricting wall, further fracturing our character by the bumps and bruises, creating other walls and closing up the remaining space, it would take us much more climbs than originally needed. Choose wisely, learn to look upward. The wall has no ceiling;
It can be scaled.How do we foster outward-lookingness? Through impartation and sharing of visions and goals, through inspiring and fanning the flames of passion for God. While evaluation and self-reflection may be fundamental checks in our personal walk, too much can bring about a sense of inward-lookingness, where everyone is overly-concerned about their negative points. A mixture is a good thing, but I guess right now what we need, is a dose of the former.
And help me do just that.Help me take out the
I and put in the
You. Help me settle the storm in my heart. Help steer me back to dry shores.
