I Just Want to Be With Jesus

It has indeed been long since the previous time I log in to Blogger. After going through so much things and events, I find myself getting lost in them. I have lost track of the present and have also forgotten about the past. What I am concerned of is my devotion to God. Am I loving Him the way I should? I do not know.

The following phrase has hitted me hard last Saturday. "If someone knows God, how can he not love Him?" This made me think that whether I really do know God personally. If I claim that I know Him, then can I also say that I love Him? How should I love Him them? I was clueless.

I picked up a book titled 'Loving God' few days ago. I learnt that the basic of loving God is to obey God. True Obedience that comes out from the deepest of my heart. This is to obey what He says.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." I guess this is the best example of loving God.

How then, can we really do this...?

"Serving God the Way He Deserved" will be my vision for the year 2006. I suddenly felt that I have always been in the receiving end, receiving the unlimited grace and mercies from God. Perhaps it is now the time to really commit myself as a humble servant of Christ.

The theme for the youth ministry this year is to Walk the Talk then Talk the Walk. It means not procrastinating but really prove what we say with actions. The word 'Prove' has been significant to me especially on the last day of 2005. I saw it a few times in verses and lyrics. I knew that it must be something that God wants me to do in this year - to prove myself to be worthy of Him.

I have made another important decision this year. Perhaps it can be considered one that will change my life for the next few months, few years, or maybe eternity. I realised my mission and the area of commitment in my life. Year 2006 is not a year of service to God but the beginning of my eternal servanthood. Few months ago, I came out with a statement saying that "Through Evangelism I came to Know Christ & Through Evangelism I will Serve Christ". However, I would consider it useless as it was not strongly backed by actions. The heart was there but never there. Therefore, I would like to commit this year where my heart would be set ablaze by the passion of Christ.

I will serve, not in talk, but in walk...

Romans 10:14-15 says "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

I am ready to be sent by God to where He wants me to be.

And yes, I Will Go Forth to Testify the Name.
