Hi Hi! Felicia here..this is my first post ;P Here's just some of my thoughts..
We have always heard about the transforming power of christ. 2 corinthinans 17 : " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old one has gone, the new has come."
I think i remember asking my roomie what changes did she see in me after i become a christian. And well, all she said was that i seems to keep talking about Jesus. So i guess outwardly maybe i really didn't show much changes. I'm still this blur sotong who walk around with this 'sian' look on my face. But Lord i know that there's something different in me which i can't really describe it very well. It's the sense of peace in my heart, knowing that God is with me. It's the sense of freedom, that i know i don't have to seek to please anyone but God. It's a whole new meaning in life which makes me truly love life the way it is.
And I guess initially i didn't really understand why the church always talk about offering our life to Jesus. I don't even understand why they need to say " Praise the Lord" after almost every sentence. But now i know it's just so wonderful to know that Jesus is in control, in every situation. And we offer our lifes simply because he's the ultimate creator. If he didn't create us, then we wouldn't have existed. And now i'm so touched by God's presence in my life that i truly understand why people keep praising him. And i want to continue to be transformed by him, to continue to seek the purpose in life that God has for me.
I guess God can really feel very far at times. It's kind of hard to focus on the eternal things when u live in this physical world. And I don't have astonishing testimonies, or extraordinary experience,and prayers can go unanswered. But when i look deep in my heart, i know that God is there and that he is real =) It's truly a blessing to be able to know Christ.
