Light and Darkness will never compromise with each other.

I asked myself, "Have I been hiding my sins from God? Have I been sinning against Him frequently? How would God feel then?" Well, I've sort of thought through these questions. Well, I must admit that there are some things that I do trying to hide from God. They are some things that I am ashamed with and hope that God does not see or hear them. However, having this kind of thinking is really foolish. He is an all-knowing God, He looks into hearts. How could I hide anything from Him then? And if I were really and ready to repent, why don't I confess my mistakes to Him and ask for His forgiveness to be upon me?

Second question: Have I been sinning against Him frequently? Some people would say, "Sinning is caused by human nature. No one can change it." Well, does it mean that God created us to make us sin? The answer is an absolute NO! He made us for two purposes. 1. To glorify Him. 2. To expand His Kingdom (The Great Commission). Well, I must also admit that I have been sinning against Him recently, frequently. Be it intentionally or unintentionally, I do sin against Him. I lied, I murdered (with tongue), I stumbled people and much more.

Third question: How would God feel then? Well, if I were to keep sinning, I would be no different from the pagans out there. I would eventually became an enemy of God. He would definitely feels upset and disappointed. It's like losing a child. Losing something which is important. The level of pain is comparable to the suffering He experienced on the day of crucifixion. It really breaks His heart.

Hmm, maybe it's time for me to reflect on my past. Reflect about what I've done. Reflect about what to do next. As the source of sins is the world, maybe it's time to me to abide with what Colossians chapter 3 says, that I should set my mind on things above and not on earthly things. Secondly, 1 John also says this, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." This is indeed a powerful and meaningful passage that has entirely changed my heart, my mindset, my thinking and also my cravings for the earthly things. To summarise this passage, it is telling that the world and the WORD cannot compromise each other. Both of them are from different sources and thus will lead to different destinations. By following and loving the world, I will be led to eternal destruction in hell (The world and its desires pass away), but by following the Word of God, I will gain eternal life through Him (the man who does the will of God lives forever).

After thinking of what earthly desires or things I "was" craving for, I felt a high level of foolishness in me. I felt that how stupid was I to let the Devil, the father of lies, to take control of all my life. How careless was I, to fall into the trap laid by the devil. Fortunately, by God's grace, I was able to wake up on time. For when someone has fallen into the trap of the devil, it would be hard, really hard to get out of it. This shows how deadly and fatal it is for giving satan a green light to enter your life. I have learnt my lesson, and I will never ever be so careless and foolish again.

THANK YOU, LORD. AMEN
