Apologies for writing down this thought... i really do prefer jotting down sermonettes! :) They inspire, they build faith; but haha, today's mood a bit more "stupid" thoughts lah hahaaaa. :)
(Wha he just prayed... phewwwww...)
Alleluia to Christ the Lord
Nothing beats having an out-of-ordinary encounter. And i mean UNusual encounter. You see, you can even have repeat spiritual experiences over and over again if you're expecting the same level of encounter with God every time you go to church, or if you repeat your QT formula over and over the same for the whichever-eth year you have been a christian. But such UNusual encounters come once in a while, could probably get sustain you on a consistent upward growth for the next few months; make your proceeding few months after those months a torture when you find yourself not growing as much as you used to; always remind you to return to God in a powerful manner when you realise your spiritual life is not as before. It's a high, it's a reminder, it's a MOMENT. A moment which i would always remember... that hunger, that passion, that fierce cry. And God, please please give me such an UNusual experience again because i do need to move up to another level in You. The only pain is this - you need to be able to fuel that hunger and passion out of a normalness of experiences to reach the point where you are ready for the UNusual experience.
You are Good
Well, for now, it's school. Sometimes people yes. But generally, the big decisions you kinda make in life that affect you for a considerable and substantial period of your life. Or the small decisions you make along the way about the same particular incident, that accumulates until it features big in your life. Sometimes much tears... but because those are HUGE things, you always understand it's God that brings you through... somehow, i dunno why, therein is the irony: it has been easy to trust God on the big items but having trouble on the small items, but it's precisely through the small items that your big items get formed.
I Just Want You
Petty issues in life that occur... and in economic terms, there are the depreciations and appreciations, and occasionally, over time, as you would discover, the devaluations and revaluations. But yes, petty issues, that get you down for the moment, and get you up for the moment. But that's what you face the most.
If for a huge moment you were considering my sub-headings, allow me to offer some explanation...
Alleluia to Christ the Lord: all-time evergreen favourite song because that was THE song when i had that spiritual experience. Representative of spiritual experiences.
You are Good: probably cried the most for this song, cos it was the song i was listening to when i got back my A level results. Representative of the big stuff in life.
I Just Want You: Well, there was one sunday i was randomly listening to this and teared all the way home. Haha. Unnecessary, but just happens, petty issues of life that occur and i forget when the morning comes.
It's not difficult to differentiate the 3. But i'm still exploring the links between the 3.
Let's think of an example. Have you heard of people who said, "it's all about pleasing God, not about pleasing men" and those who claim "we need to see the people lar". Those are 2 extreme views, true statements but used in warped contexts. I thought it's precisely that you wanna please God (Alleluia) that's why you see what works for the people (want You).
Now this is when i'd get scolded for digressing and not giving an answer after all that i've discussed. Hahahaha. But i'm not teaching or preaching here ok! Haha. :) So i'm safe.
Bleah... abrupt ending here. But hey, sermon's more fun to listen to!
(No more running wild....)
