Contentment, Surrender and Hope

July 4, 2009 at 1:54 am · Filed under Learnings

Contentment

I bought nothing into this world, and I can take nothing out of it.

Why then, do I always want to have everything? I think I need them? Or I want them? Or I like them? Or I think I deserve them? Or perhaps I should see it as, God gives them for me to use.

Why is this lesson easier to learn when we are poorer and harder to learn again when we are richer?

Again, another lesson to learn.

Surrender

And why do people always struggle with surrender over and over again? Because we always think this is my life. I should live it the way I like it.

But perhaps we should just see every breath as a gift from God.

Why is this lesson easier to learn when we are younger, and harder when we are older? Because we think we are an adult already?

Again, relearn lesson.

Hope

And what do we hope for in the future? Many times the people we put hope in always disappoint us. Because ultimately we still haven’t learn to put our hope in God.

Many hard lessons to learn.

The Meaning of Fellowship

November 27, 2008 at 1:19 am · Filed under Learnings, Thoughts

There is something about fellowship that changes the heart.

As Hebrews 10:24-25 says it,

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

When I give, I receive as well.
When I put others needs first, I am being encouraged too.
When I hear the stories of other unfortunate events, I begin to grow thankful for what I already have.
When I pray for seemingly impossible situations to change, I begin to understand human limitations and God’s power more.

And so, I begin to realize how very important fellowship is, to my own spiritual life. That my heart may not grow cold. That my eyes and ears will continue to be open to what God is doing and will be doing.
