We are free, free from sin. Free from the things that binds us down. How true is it?

We claim we love God, yes in our lips and in our mouths every saturday in my ZJ Community we sing hymns and praises and love songs to him, yet our hearts... do they really belong to him?

I question this myself, I sing songs of love to God, yet I grumble when all he asks is just a little quiet time with him. Isn't that strange, it resembles couples on earth. In most of the relationships, everyone seems just to dig something out of it for themselves, but non or few wishes to give away as much as they dig. Similiarly, I want the good things and the blessings from god, yet I myself do not wish to give him or others the good things myself

When God asks me to perform a service for him in the middle of my exams, I say, "Lord my papers are more important!!!" When I am in the middle of something interesting, and God asked me to pray, I say, "God, later la!!! Can't You wait?". When i want to sleep le, God asked me to pray for someone, I tell him "Another time la!! Now need to sleep cannot pray..." I just went into confession, days laters I'm back into the confession box... God wants me to lead his people into worship, I say the same words that many other prophets used earlier,"Lord I C.M.I(cannot make it)" even though he kept reminding me, "Son, my grace is enough for you..."

Ordinarily if God were your friend or maybe someone close to you, he will probably be pissed off at you, do that to your girlfriend or spouse, be prepared to walk down the road to perdition

However, him despite knowing how much of a slut I am to worldly attractions and to earthly concerns, he is ever patient, knowing that I have more to learn from, even if I still continue to be a slut of this world. The wonderful thing is he loves me, and most of all he understands me.

Despite all the shit that I've done to him, the wonder of it is, he still loves me. He did not take away his blessings on me when I sin, rather, he grace them more abundantly on me to fight against sin. He was not angry with me, rather he love me even more when I fell, like the Shepherd who left the 99 to search for the lost one, he is that king of mine who cares for me and constantly woo my heart back to him. Many people failed me and I've failed them, but he is the only one who has never failed me thus far, he allows trouble to come for me to learn, pains that I can grow and be stronger, joy for me to carry on my walk through life, and many other countless blessings.

Truely How Great is our God

I am writing this to encourage many of my brothers and sisters in the faith to walk on and persevere, god's blessings are abundant, his love is even more abundant. Turn away from the seductions and false promises of this world, turn back to him, and if u find it hard to detach yourself from the world, ask God to help you

God bless you all who comes along this path
