Wow you must be wondering what im doing up so late at night!
Was just talking to an old friend of mine, whom i didnt talk to for almost 2 years, just about the time of my conversion. She was asking me if I had a girlfriend again, and obviously you guys know i was single for 2 years now. What really filled in that gap in my heart? It was no new age mumbo jumbo, or some new website, girlfriend, and not any other sports club or drama series. Before I move on, I'd just make a quick recap on what kind of person i was before my conversion.
#1 I was hot-tempered (many can testify for that)
#2 I loved to spam the **** word.
#3 I loved to boast
#4 I had a very bad attitude towards people
#5 I was an introvert
Of course, many other negative things about me. Who would say amen that im a pretty decent nice guy now? (Ugh provided if anyone still reads this blog and bothers to tag that is.) I was man just existing on this earth, hoping to make a mark behind that even after i perish, i shall not be forgotten. I lived in fear everday, thinking that tomorrow will never come again, and I so desperately sought love in relationships,that it might fill in that empty hole in my heart. A soul wandering in this wretched world, searching for the light that will light up the path before me. I found true love on the faithful day of 16 december 2006.
Men and women have struggled against the search for true love for many generations, through relationships. Many ended up in countless heart-wrenching relationships that did not quite go the way they hoped. Innocent lives were taken in abortion due to unplanned marriage and the filty minds of the people in this wretched land. Everyone is desperately searching for the same love that will fill that hole in our heart. It is like a hole that only one specific key can fill. Only one specific key can break the chains that bind us to the endless persuit of love. It is impossible to find true love in the things of this world. No man or woman can offer true love, security and no-one belongs to a fairy tale. What is placed in front of our faces are masks that hide our true identity, our true flawed and bloodied souls shouldering much burden and suffering. We seek true acceptance and we often find ourselves insecure. What will he think of me? We abide by a set of rules and become somebody else in the process, just to fit the criteria of being "normal" or "acceptable". We fail to realize that we've only been going around in circles in the persuit of true love. Nothing of this world is perfect thats why nothing can satisfy us. Wake up? Life is not a fairy tale.
This is, however, where it gets interesting. 2000 years ago, christ Jesus died on the cross, and demostrated true love on that very day. Man was given a second chance.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
The devil blinds us from knowing the truth, but whoever is in the truth and acknoledges the truth will have eternal life. The truth that Jesus had died on the cross to pay for our sins, and showed us not only what is installed for us for eternity, but offers to walk with us everyday for the rest of our lives. Man has found true love and acceptance, from the one God that never failed to love his people. God is love. God is the origin of love. For God did not strike us dead because we have sinned against him, and instead offered us a second chance by the death of Christ Jesus, whoose blood has cleansed our wretched souls and this land of despair.
I was skeptical at first when i first came across this God thing. Today, ill gladly and loudly proclaim i have never regretted my decision of commiting my life to the Lord. He has truely given me security. With that, I can be myself again. I can shout all i want, sing all i want, and loudly proclaim how wonderful this feeling is. God has redeemed us. God is our true love.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
This is security. God has promised that in every situation, he will shut doors none can open and open doors none can shut. In Christ we know that he is in control of every situation. We cant screw up so bad we have to give up on life.
This is love. Unconditional love of our saviour, lord Jesus Christ.
Will we still stay silent?
