This is an usual writing. It's different and significant. Make sure you read to the end and I believe it will bless you.
Sometimes, I wonder if I can ever stop giving advise to my dear sisters. Just like someone is thinking now...
Smiles, we are in a world with so many people with different challenges, problems... Different prayer request, Different goals and vision,
Different academic qualifications,
Different choice,
Different wants, etc.
But, the goal of everyone is to achieve their goals and vision but the most painful part is everyone what it to happen fast without minding to skip the process.
Some are impatient to wait for the process and then competition comes in.
Yes, I know you want the luxurious life. I know you want to spend and enjoy yourself but beyond that what do you want to be known for? What is going to be your impact in the lives of people? Don't think money can cure everything, beyond that what do you have to offer?
It's inapt how people spend to take care of their body (Flesh) and not spend to take care of their spiritual life (Spirit). You can spend any amount to make your body glow but grudges when it comes to buy spiritual books, Christian literatures, Bible, etc. They use the common slang *God understands* Of course, I am not saying your body should not glow. I also desire body glow but also, make your spiritual life glow too.
In as much as you are taking care of your body, also take care of your soul and spirit. Don't think you have the whole time because it's not about you, it's about the generations placed on your shoulder. Everyone has an influence, either to an individual or a group. Someone can see your picture or your skills, etc and instantly like you and follow you. That's influence but the question now is what influence are you show forth or birthing?
When the judgment comes, the flesh will return to the ground where it comes from and your spirit will resurrect up. When you keep investing in your flesh, how do you want to be of positive impact to the people?
Some sincerely desire growth in their spiritual life but what are your actions and attitudes towards it? While for some, they were doing perfectly well but along the line they became lost to the things of the world because of it's pleasure, popularity and fame.
You need to think deeply, check through your life. What impact am i making or what impact am i to the people?
A life of Christ is a life which is died to self. It's not about you anymore, it's about Christ and it's kingdom but not everyone who accept the life of Christ are ready to die to self. The way forward in the kingdom is to die to self.
Enough of I want this, I want that, this is how I will do it. It now becomes all of His will. It becomes all of His leading, pace, direction, instruction, etc and to fulfil His will is about your readiness to be obedient.
To everyone who needs to redirect his way, Jesus is every ready to receive you and to those, who need to submit their lives and accept His life, His hands are spread wide to receive you into His arms. No matter how dirty or ugly your sins are, the moment you confess them to Him, He is ready to remould you and give you a new life.
Thanks to everyone who has being sincerely engaging in the prayers and reading up Thoria's Diary.
God bless us!
I love you all...
