‘Day 33: I serve God by serving others-
Do little things as if they were great thing, because God is watching.
"if you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done" Ecclesiastes 11:4
“If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are really a nobody" Galatians 6:3
“When you do good deeds, don’t try to showoff . If you do, you won't get a reward from your father in heaven" Mathew 6:1’
I stumbled across this very important message and a very important reminder to me on Facebook. And you know what’s the worst part of this, he’s actually a non-Christian and he’s reading this book called “Purpose Driven Life”. And he was the one that posted it on Facebook to remind me!
That very verses above really give me a one good slap on my face. That I should not rant and vent my frustration. Complain, which I do best. Taking things for granted and not knowing it until it’s almost gone. Putting all sorts of negative thought in my head and think God is not here. Underestimate what God can do for us.
Tsk tsk.. I am so ashamed. Really. So embarrassed. For being such a long Christian. Talking to people about faith. But I, myself, did not put faith in God. We think we are Christian for so long, that we know it all. But in fact, we DON’T!
But I really thank God. How He put people in my life. To keep reminding me and so assuring that He did NOT forget the things that I did for him. I really thank God that He has been so gracious, that He did NOT take all the things away from me to realize. But to put people in my life to remind me of the occasions that I am not alone. To continue to strengthen my faith in Him. To keep praising Him because He is the only One who deserves all glory. To be a living testimony to the people around us. To be the salt of the earth and the light of the light. To continue what Jesus had done. To be more Christ-like.
Lesson learned today: Don’t complain and don’t take things for granted!
