Not just a need to do, it's more like a personal commitment why I blog.
I'm not forcing myself that I need to blog and say anything what I want, but it's kind of feeling that I was commanded to accomplish my tasks.
For a week, I was wondering what would be the topic of my Sunday Blog, until just this morning I had a revelation. I remembered our (Rhea and I) yesterday's conversation. I told my wife that "It's already Saturday yet I don't have a blog topic for tomorrow." She replied "Just wait, God will reveal it to you." :)
I opened my FB (Facebook) account, and I noticed that I no longer check the application "On This Day God Wants You To Know."
It's an application in FB that tells you that what Gods want you to know is this and that... Even though its just a computer application sometimes it does make sense helping people realized things and reminded that there is God that loves them so much.
So on this day God wants me to know
...that you are commanded to love everyone, not condemn those who don't agree with you. Your opinions are just that, - opinions, regardless of where you got them from. They are tiny, a speck compared to the immensity of God. You cannot possibly have even the faintest idea of what God commands to other people, to other lifeforms. Your only possible intelligent choice is to continuously open in love and acceptance. Today more than yesterday.
Praise God!!!
I was praying before on how can I share God's word to my workplace specially with my immediate team wherein I won't make them feel awkward. They know as a religious person maybe because I used to send them biblical text messages every Sunday, I still really don't know their reason, but they regard me as a man of faith.
I have a teammate who always asked me what does the Bible say about this and that... And I (with my own personal experienced and discovery) always answered him biblically and follow through with a say "try to discover it personally also." I'd like to encourage him to read the Bible, so he can personally discover what I'm telling him is a fact and really from the Bible.
I'm very careful not to answer him with my own opinion because the more I'd like to help him maybe will give him more confusion. So, whenever he asked about a certain topic and don't know the answer I simply tell him "I don't know, I haven't read it yet." I don't make a wild guess just to satisfy an answer he's expecting.
I have also a teammate who listens to me whenever I feel blessed or down, and I need immediate someone to hear what I want to say, he always there to listen.
Maybe because he has no choice, he seats beside me. :)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel. -Proverbs 12:15
My team mates are my office lunch buddies. Every lunch we talked about anything under the sun.
I think it was Monday, a topic was opened "Do you believe in aliens (UFO, ET, and alike)?" Everyone was asked and given a chance to reason out why. Two of my buddies believed that UFO may exist, another is confused (he really doesn't know what to believe) then I was asked "if non-biblically speaking would I believed?" I replied "Yes."
The conversation became deeper until the topic was changed to "Veracity of the Bible and God's existence". Some had gnostically reasoning. One still confused and as for me, and I stand for what I believed in. I ended our conversation because the lunch break is finished so I said my final piece...
"Do you believe in life after death? (I do). Do you believe in heaven and hell? (I do). Through salvation, I can go to heaven and only Jesus Christ can give me that. If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, everything will follow."
Then we went back to work. :)
I've felt that my faith was challenged again in a way that somebody will tell me that there is something/someone (not God) is responsible in everything in this world. Thank God, again I realized that His ways are really mysterious. He answered prayers sometimes in a complicated situation but full of wisdom.
I believed that opinion is a privilege given to a person when the situation asked to. It must be done exclusively in the presence of the people involve in the conversation. It can be painful sometimes specially if people disagree on your opinion, but its normal as long as you respect each others opinion. It must be objective and not subjective. A personal point of view of a given subject or topic that does not require other peoples approvals.
You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. -Ecclesiastes 11:9
To God be the Glory...
