Let's Talk About Him

I always talk about how people keep changing from time to time right? I feel like I'm changing - again. I figure people are changing gradually, not just one time, but as time goes by, we keep on changing either in our personality or appearance.

Lately I feel like I'm being more religious :) hahaha not to be cocky, or being a big head, but I really think that I have gone up to the next level of my spiritual belief - I accept Jesus more in my life. I don't know how or why. But it's a good thing. It is actually give me time to think more about life and makes me want to be better.

Well recently I've experienced to lead a life group - I did it with a friend, it was both our first time and I was so nervous! I really didn't know what to explain because I thought my understanding about bible was very limited yet the life group coordinator kept pushing me and my friend to just do it (I still think my understanding is limited). So we decided to go for a 'personal relationship with God' theme. We did more about sharing rather than learning about bible verse, and Onnes, the actual life group leader helped us by providing really nice verses.

I think that was the first thing that started to change me.

Another thing is what we had for the next life group. There was this priest from LA who talked about Christian in a way that makes you stop and think: what is my purpose of life here? And I KNOW how it feels as an outsider, when the answer is to 'spread the Gospel, the good news.' It's irritating. A very simple answer but yet it felt like it doesn't make any sense at all. But what I think is important is when you start to look for it, and want to know, really want to know, and try to find the answer of your every question about Christian. And it's actually very easy. If you're hesitated, do not judge, but try to find the truth, do a research, seek for an answer. In short: try to read the whole bible and then you can re-think about Christian.

I was very skeptic about this whole thing before. I used to pray in the name of God, but not in the name of Jesus. I mean I know God did hear my prayer but I was so reluctant to accept that Jesus is my savior. And then my sister forced me to go to this life group and since I didn't have anything to do, I joined her, and guess what, I was blessed to have her as my sister. She led me to who I am now. So remember, when you hesitate about this whole thing, do not judge, do not accuse, just read the whole bible (you can read other religious book if you want to compare), after that, then you can make your judgment :)

There was this one sentence that the priest shared to us at life group: "Christianity is not a religion, it is a lifestyle based on our relationship with Jesus Christ." Isn't it a beautiful statement?

Now I'm not trying to preach or anything here, and I assure you, I'm not a saint, I have sinned, but I just want to share the good news. Because it happened to me, and it makes me happy, so I hope one day it will happen to all of you too, so that you could be happy as well.

And besides, I think this world has gotten really closer to an end. Signs are everywhere!! We should stop thinking that 'abnormal' behaviors are arts. Or bad things are actually trends and fashions. Think about it.
