Pure faith

Nothing else mattered, then. I was absolutely in love with Jesus, and it was easy when it was only me who I needed to concerned about. I seemed to be doing the ‘right things’ most of time as long as my faith is concerned.

Over the years the scenery outside my window has been dramatically changed. Being a leader over many lives has brought about numerous responsibilities into my life. Almost all the time I am unconsciously aware that I should live a life of example to others. Self control, Time management, Discipline, Integrity, Accountability, Humility, Encouraging and Caring for others…

But, what would I be, if I have no title, no status, and no follower? What am I without Daniel 2? What if there is no one who would expect me to be their role model? What if I have no ministry in the church and no one asks me to do anything? Is my love for Jesus my motivation in doing all that I do, all the time, rather than the sense of responsibility and expecation of others and of myself? Would I still be absolutely the same person, and living the way I am living?

Ps. Lance shared such insight into the danger of the self righteousness. We started ‘right’ at the beginning, all the pure motivations and passion to serve God. As time goes it can be just like a good habit. Then it just becomes a behaviour pattern. It is very easy to develop the self-righteousness from there – “I know what is right and wrong. And I am always right. You should be more like me” kind of attitude.

Lord, search my heart and teach me the way everlasting. Renew my heart and mind and attitude.

I want to BE, not pretend to be.

3 musketeers for our King Jesus -

These are not just 3 people.  These are the vast army!

Pray for a minute for them to be strong and wise.

But if nothing else left,

Love the King.
