Charles Spurgeon Search

I've been searching about Mr. Charles Spurgeon and he is such a very great preacher. I also saw Moses' video/speech, and kinda...remembered myself. He wasn't much of a speaker but he was still chosen to lead a lot of Hebrews/people. Before, I thought I was somehow not a good speaker and if you ask some of my classmates, they'll tell you I was the most quiet person there. For some reason, I really never thought of having language a talent of mine....Not Ever. But it turned out I was also different from Moses and Spurgeon. I have a talent to speak, but I haven't experienced the same thing Spurgeon experienced of having a Christian family. I don't know if I'm a person who has the talent to lead a lot of people, but I do want to lead someone/maybe even just one to Christ(but I hope I'll lead a lot like Moses did). I want to be a great leader one day, a great preacher, and I want to be whoever God molds me and wants me to be.

Love by Charles H. Spurgeon

The first thing, then, that our love feeds upon, when it is but an infant, is a sense of favours received. Ask a young Christian why he loves Christ, and he will tell you, I love Christ because he has bought me with his blood! Why do you love God the Father? I love God the Father because he gave his Son for me. And why do you love God the Spirit? I love him because he has renewed my heart. That is to say we love God for what he has given to us. Our first love feeds just on the simple food of a grateful recollection of mercies received. And mark, however much we grow in grace this will always constitute a great part of the food of our love.

But when the Christian grows older and has more grace, he loves Christ for another reason. He loves Christ because he feels Christ deserves to be loved. I trust I can say, I have in my heart now a love to God, These men did not merely love Christ because of what he had done for them; but you will find in their sonnets and in their letters—that their motive of love was, that he had communed with them, he had showed them his hands and his side; they had walked with him in the villages; they had lain with him on the beds of spices; they had entered into the mystic circle of communion; and they felt that they loved Christ, because he was all over glorious, and was so divinely fair, that if all nations could behold him, sure they must be constrained to love him too.

Here is a song I would like to share from Casting Crowns...

Our deepest fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles", Harper Collins, 1992. From Chapter 7, Section 3])

I actually got this from one of my teachers and I really liked the message that is conveyed in it. It is true, we are afraid of our light because we've been living in the dark for so long. Generation to generation, it has always been our mind set and that was the problem. It's nice to know that we are something of worth and that is showed through Jesus Christ. He had made a great change in history and to anyone eventually.
He showed us that we are loved by God himself and we are His children. So if we are His children and we accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour, then we should know that we have the  power beyond measure and we are the light of the world.

No matter what

This week I experienced having a hectic schedule...I know I haven't written for about a month and I feel sad that I haven't been updating my life but I guess it's part of being busy and drown in what I do. I haven't forgotten though that I should write on my Blog once in a while. I've also been experiencing some shaky events in my life like when my mom went to the ER but she's fine now and how a lot of days have passed by like my birthday, which happened last month August. I've spent my birthday at home with my family. I really feel as if it has been so fast and I have been having problems with myself too. I happen to forget to pray and read my bible like before...:-( but God hasn't forgotten me, that's such good news for me since while I was drifting away He keeps on showing me what I should do and that I should not get drowned with worldly things - that was quite what happened to me for the past few days. I've been relaxing and studying and idling that I didn't put the most important person in my life first. God never said that these things won't happen to a Christian/believer but He did promise that He will always be there caring for you reminding you. After such experience, I think God was just showing me that no one can survive the world without Him - that I need Him no matter what and that I need to share my testimony to people even if no one really wants to know it.
