"Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."
Psalm 145:13
"The Lord is trusthworthy in every word, and faithful in every work."
Luke 13:30
"For behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last."
*We live on earth with parents - waking up with them even sleeping in their arms. When it comes to them, it is rightful to obey them for they are given by God as our guardians. Like Jesus, having Mary and Joseph with him as he grow up until he die on the cross. However when it comes to God, we are called to trust and to be faithful because God is trusthworthy in His words and in His actions - He is faithful. So in everything we do, we must put all our trust to Him and be faithful servant and follower of Him. On the other hand, coming to our personal examination - we are reminded to bear in our minds to humble ourselves before God and to give way to others even in the hardest moments. We just don't know what the Lord would reward us in bowing our heads down for the sake of others and being generous to others as faithful servant of God.
"Living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ."
Psalm 122:3-4
"Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about. Here the tribes have come, the tribes of the Lord, as it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord."
Luke 13:9
"It may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down."
*Even if our members haven't been showing any change in them, as they are called to repentance, still, hold on to God and don't lose hope. Be patient enough because as we live the truth in love, gradually and eventually we will grow thru Christ, and in Him we should acknowledge His Name for He's the head among - we are just mere instruments that represent Him to this earth. So, always come before Him and be thankful for He is in control of everything.
It feels like a lifetime
A thousand days have passed by
Since I held you, close to me
If I could see that smile, from my friend
I know that I could live again
I need you, here with me
Heaven knows, what to say
Even though for right now, you're so far away
I hope and I pray
Somewhere in your heart, I'll always stay
Chorus:
Girl lately
My sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed
What it feels like to be without you
Feels like I took
My last step, and my last breath, and my life's ending
Had to say just what I was feeling girl
Cause my sun doesn't shine
Sun doesn't shine
Without you
This is more for me, than for you
Girl I finally see there's no substitute
For what we have
Do you know how much I love you
And that we shared, I can't forget
Girl a love like yours
I'll never let just slip away
Just promise that you'll stay
Heaven knows, what to say
Even though for right now, you're so far away
Gonna tell you, and show you
Do whatever I can do to get back to you
Have you ever seen a flower that never blooms
Seen a starless night without the moon
Well that's me without you, girl
So come back and turn my nights into days
"The one who once was persecuting us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
Psalm 139:2
"You know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar."
Luke 10:41
"You are anxious and worried about many things."
-I have lots of worries and anxieties in everything I do, "Lord I pray to You as You understand me and my thoughts even when I'm away from You, please do still allow me to preach about You rather that to destroy You by persecuting those who believe in You."
There are lots of verses in the Bible that pertains to a child, one of which is from Matthew 18:3 "Unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." It seems that as long as you take the characteristics of a child and pursue to be like them, you will automatically consider to gain eternal life with God.
Keen - in a way when a child watch you then heard something from you, you'll get imitated by exactly do as what you did and said. Kids are also very sharp when something you taught to them - must be done and they should follow it, thus, they are keen listener. When it comes to following an elder, they are eager most especially when they will receive something after doing what have been asked from them. Thus, they are keen follower.
Innocent - in a sense that you will never ever feel you're taken advantage by a kid and of course a child does not have a mind with evil intentions, so you can see in their eyes that they reflect a not guilty heart. Therefore, possessing this innocence makes a person a reliable one.
Dependent - in relation particularly to their parents, they really are relying on another person for support most especially to the immediate people they have. So as to God, a person should ask for support and also allow himself or herself to consume their decisions by His will.
Sincere - in terms of a kid's real expression of feelings and even genuine comment to a person, in result they can be frank to whoever person they're facing. Thus, being sincere is not only to other people but more importantly to yourself.
