chosen to love, not to work.

one of the things that struck me this week was this, we were chosen by God to love, not to work! we were chosen to love God and love people.

but some of us may have already dropped into working for God and u may find some of the symptoms below familiar. u feel really tired out easily / quite disinterested in things u do / not wanting to give your best

and those things happen because simply we're not doing it for God, not to begin speaking about doing it with God.

one example God showed me was this, do u call buying things for ur husband/wife a work? or do u call inviting ur friends to ur best friend's party a work? do call doing things for people u love a work? because when u buy meals for people u love, u dun say im working for them. but rather its an act of love that you do it. are you working or loving?=)


Things i learnt today
and today as i speak to one of my friend about obedience to God, that obedience is a one-way thing. its either u obey or not, and as i spoke, i need to contact this friend of mine to ask him some things and its kinda awkward cos i feel that he's not really comfortable in communicating with me, not jus assumption but also because of certain things that happen. and being a typical a person that tries to hesitate haha, i ask again and if im required to talk. then so be it, i'll obey.

but that still is not perfect obedience, cos perfect obedience is doing w/o any hesitation. i have so much to learn on putting obedience into practise. its never easy man, it takes courage to obey and it takes to put aside our values for God's values to come in. God help me in this! obey obey obey. i seriously seriously need to grow man.

obedience to God is clear cut. its either obedience or disobedience.
same goes to what you need to obey, its clear cut. its either right or wrong, and of course obey the right things!
and right things = what God tells u / commands u to do.
but thru all the hard decisions u make to follow God, what comes next are God's blessings to u=)

and disobedience robs away that very blessing that God had intended to give u.
