John 13:7
Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
Why my name is tony? why the sun is so hot? why ? why and why?? We have a lot of "why" in our daily life, we want to ask this and ask that , we try to understand everything~~ but sometime we just cant find every answers for everything ...~~
Some times I would ask god "why you would want to love me ?" but I have accepted what he says as truth. We dont have to figure out the "why" behind his love , we just need to accept it, it is a gift :). As humans we want to understand everything, but there are something that only God understands, his wisdom is much much much higher than ours~~. Perhaps if we dont waste our time and energy trying to figure out what only God knows, we will have the energy to live passionate and purposeful lives.
When It comes to our purposes, we should pray and then make plans , not make plans and then pray that god will take our advice and make our plans work out. that is not what knowing god's purpose for our lives is all about. It is about living in his will each and everyday and it is the only way we will ever truly know peace and joy. we also always need to remind ourself that god is in control and i try to accept god's plan with joy. We must accept god's word and what he does at face value and not question it. Trusing God when we dont understand brings a lot of peace to our lives. Joyce Meyer's motto is " ask god for anything you want but be content with what he gives you" trust that his choice is always the best.

Wow, how powerful is ur last paragraph? How ironic that it applies so well to our lives right now. Pray and then make plans. Yes, we need to listen to Gods voice. Its so hard. I really want things to work out. I really want to stick to the original plan. But I guess some things are better left for God, after all He is the only one in control. I need to be content with what He gives me. Or what He gives us. Whatever or whoever that is, he/she will definitely be the best for us. I just hope that it will be u.
ReplyDeleteSuffering --> character --> hope
Just hope. Hope is faith in the things unseen. Who knows. Hope does not mean I will actively do sthg abt it. I'll just pray. God bless u Tony.
