| | This is what I learned from my quiet time today. In my quiet time today, I realise God loves us in so many ways. He not only died for us, not only gave us eternal life but also give us purpose and strength to live. He blesses us with all His qualities too. He gives us His creativity. He gives us His Spirit. He gives us His love. And all that He has we can claim because He made us His child and He is not a reluctant Father. Today I truly understand how much He wishes to give from His conversation with Moses. I have learned that Moses' prayers are single out from people to be answered because he has an intimate relationship with God. It again reminds me that prayer is all about the relationship, not the reward. Because like Moses, when he has the relationship with God (Of course he always sought to please God), God can answer anything. And, how God spoke to him was funny. He was like showing off. He asked Moses, Is the Lord's arm too short? It is just like asking, do you think My arm is too short. Let me show you.. then, He just performed the miracle.
Got inspired by a new dimension of the parable of the prodigal son last night. The father had 2 sons. The younger son knew what he had, but did not know who he was. That was why he took all he could from home, but not remembering he is the son of his dad, the identity. I know you'll get the spiritual meaning of it. But, let's also look at the elder son. He knew who he was, but he didn't know what he had. That was why He grumbled and actually got angry when the younger son came back and the father had a celebration for him. Hey, sometimes we are just like him! After serving God for so many years, we know what God has called us into His righteousness, to be His sons and daughters and daily He will break us.. to be more like Him, He changes our attitude and characters.. that's why all the suffering comes in.. this is good! But God also made us inherit all that He has for us. He has a lot for us! We need to actually KNOW it. He gives us His creativity and we may be more effective. He gives us wisdom. He gives us His Spirit. He gives us whatever blessings that you could name of... (Not just spiritual blessings) The problem is we are to focused with who we are, but neglected He is the God of the universe, we can have all that He has, if only we ask. Hallelujah!
Thank You God! |
