Although i have not been a staunch christian,
Yet who is to say and judge that i have not been a devoted one??
When i was young, i was able to attend church more frequently than now. Every Saturday and Sunday, there would be morning trips to services, then afternoon stay backs for fellowship. This habit did not last long, as i was later committed to other co-curricular activities.
Despite not going to church often after that, i still believe in God and His existence very very much. I could sum up all that i have learned from church in ONE word. No, it is not fear. The word is FAITH.
Eventhough i was really little at that time, but this particular sermon was so powerful to me as a little girl then, that it has impacted me till this very day. In brief, the gist of the sermon went something like this :
"You cannot see God. You may not be able to see Him with your naked eye, nor can you hear His voice speaking to you like any other person can in this room. But ask yourself this, can you feel His presence?
Similar to FAITH, you cannot see it, better yet touch it. But why is that everyone who claims they do not believe in God still continue to have faith in what they do??
Because faith, is a strong belief that no one can steal or take away from you, unless you decide to lose it yourself.
To believe, is a powerful thing. To believe that you will do well, or manage your own life gives you the strength and confidence to achieve it. As long as your faith is resilient, no one can ever stop you from achieving what you're set out to do, or to tell you otherwise.
And to accept God into your hearts is the same. He will never leave you once you have accepted Him. Because God is loyal, and God loves even when he isn't loved in return."
Does this faith i have still exist??
Can i continue to fight for what i used to believe in??
Will there be a happy ending to what seems to be becoming a closed chapter??
I understand my options now...
I understand both of them well...
But whatever the outcome may be,
Please Lord, give me the strength to continue living a cheerful life, filled with love, passion and all things You made beautiful.
Amen.
