I'm right now, at this very moment, enjoying my saturday morning, bright bright day, feeling refreshed and all, and most specially.. with my special breakfast. Which I made myself, but that's okay.. cause it's SO GOOD. I toasted two slices of (frozen) waffles, put five fresh strawberries on them, then.. pour a bit of honey around the waffles and strawberries! I know! I'm inspired by those I found in the restaurants. It tastes SO GOOD, I can believe it!! You have to try it!! But hint hint, you have to get the sweet strawberries one :)
By the way, my original intention to blog is not about these strawberries and pancakes. I was listening on the K-love radio couple weeks back, and have wanted to blog about it, but haven't got a chance! Oh my life has been so busy. And will always be.. for at least the next three months.
It was in between the songs, that a presenter gave this message. The message actually came from another source, but I don't remember where. I only remember the message, and it's enlightening. Well, I remember that since my teenage life.. my parents always told me, that there are many religions, many beliefs in the world, but we were all the same. We were all human, we believed there was God (or gods in some beliefs), we were social people and tried to be nice and helpful to other people, and so on and so forth.
I used to believe it, you know, although I did feel something strange about it. Until later years when I finally met Jesus, learned about Him, what's different about Him, that Jesus is God and the one and only true God.. I feel, NO, different religions are different, but I could never spell out WHY, and I have never argued about it.
I kinda forgot what exactly the presenter said, but I was urged to stand up for the truth I believe in. I belive in one God -- my Father in heaven, in Jesus, the Son of God, who came down from heaven to earth and gave Himself to save me and all people on the earth. And I believe that only Jesus Christ can save me and give me eternal life. Jesus is my source of strength and my source of everything in this world. No other god or men can give me what I really need.
Now if I believe that, how can I also agree to other religions/beliefs that say, "We have several gods. They used to be heroes in this or that kingdom, they were rulers in the world. They're gone but let's worship them so that we can receive blessings and safety from them."
I feel like asking something from my peers who certainly can't provide for me, and many times even for themselves.
Or another belief, "It's all in our hearts. Think about the good things, be patient, be loving, be happy, and you will find peace."
NO, that's so not true! People hope for good things, but bad things do happen. I try to be patient and loving, but still I find no peace. I don't even know why I should do such things..
Now that I write about it, I think about robots. We, human, create robots. They are not perfect, according to us. Robots are very limited to what we design them to do. One robot is to clean up the house. One robot is to assemble a certain part in the factory. One robot is to jiggle and be cute (like those dog robots.. :D). But whether we agree or not, if a robot is having a mechanical problem, or dying battery, the robot cannot ask another robot, to fix the problem, or to replace the battery. The owner has to do it. We knows when the robot needs fixes, and what to do.
Last week, I had the urging to go to church (after being absent for a month :p), and I was so blessed. I am very blessed, that I decided to buy the sermon CD hehee.. so I can remind myself later. The pastor said that, it takes MUCH bigger efforts to believe that the world, and its complexities, happened by mere evolution. It's like answering yes to: "In the beginning, there was nothing in the world, then BANG! smokes gather, galaxies, stars, and planets started to evolve. After a million years, life came on earth inside the seas. After another million years, these microscopic life form themselves to become plants, or animals.."
If we continue, we'll say that babies come on the earth by mere incident that the parent's relationship yield on a life. Uh-huh. How could a baby have a nose, two eyes, one mouth, two hands, two feet, and all that're inside the body.. the brain, the cells, the heart.. I'm sure it takes less effort to say that someone creates the baby, rather than, "It just happens that a 'baby' comes out, not something else."
Nevertheless, though I've grown to know God more and more, and I've been learning about His miracles every day, but.. I'm still a woman of little faith. But I will try to stand up for this faith I believe in, and hope that God will strengthen me, and by the power of His holy spirit, grow my faith.
