So yesterday after I made peace with deep, and trust me I am so thankful that I have, it's like, I really can see the love of God working, so I read someone's blog, and she mentioned that people asked why all she blogged about was God. And I'm really moved by her response. Indeed, who else has sacrificed for us, and come down all the way to our level to give us life again, and who else would die for the countless wrongs we have done. I supposed our response isn't really what it ought to be. After all, we do spend six days of the week worrying about things unimportant and outside our relationship with God. And I read an interesting mail from a YFer. It was about the difference between acclaim for Christ and Craving Praise. There were like two extremes, one is keeping your faith and walk so private that it is merely a closeness with God, with no intention or goal of testifying to unbelievers. The other extreme is that unbelievers see us as doing good deeds for our own self recognition and praise. True, a good name is better than great riches, but for the glory of God and not of ourselves. There is rather, a fairly definite line of difference between what we should be doing and otherwise. Indeed I must be careful of these two extremes. In whatever I do, I should do with nothing but the right attitude, that is solely for God's glory, not the least bit for personal glory. It's what's in my heart that's important. For the heart is deceitful above all things, and who can know it? It's going to be hard, but I'm prepared to try.
