What has been enforced on my inspiration to write was the bus ride home from Singapore; which passes many buildings of many shapes, sizes and colours. All these buildings were dirty from the accumulation dust from cars, the weather and the pollutants in the air.
The buildings of many shapes, sizes and colours reflect us. Humans come in different shapes, sizes and skin colours too. Imagine me and your new life (i.e. the new life when we accept HIM as our personal Saviour) as a newly painted building, coated with a new paint - clean and flawless without a speck of imperfection.
However, we lived in a world of impurities which could smudge our lives and also spiritual lives.
We live in a complex world today, that sometimes, it is hard for us to discern the good from the bad. The complexity of the world has warped our mind – making us difficult to draw a good sturdy line between the good and the bad. We are caught in between – which many refer it as the grey areas in lives and of the world.
Unknowingly, we have been constantly dusted and choked with layers and layers of pollutants of the world.
But knowingly, we all know that we have been saved by HIS grace, been made clean and pure by HIS blood shed on the Cross. Our spirit renewed by HIM through overcoming death and HIS resurrection. We have been made new by HIM. (1 Corinthians 1:30 "God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.")
So, we have got some work to do on our lives and spiritual lives.
Upkeep and maintenance of our spiritual life is essential -'washing' the impurities of the world that have sheered of spiritual life and be constantly on the check of our spiritual lives - to be more attuned to GOD. Effective listening and communicating with GOD; navigates us to correct paths in our lives in the world and the spiritual realm.
GOD has opened up the eyes and ears of our spiritual lives (HE has helped the blind man sees and deaf ears listened) so, that we are not blind and deaf to the world but, to walk a victorious and meaningful life in the world and our spiritual lives because of HIM.
Be conscious.
Isaiah 42:18-25 (NIV)
Israel Blind and Deaf
18 "Hear, you deaf;
look, you blind, and see!
19 Who is blind but my servant,
and deaf like the messenger I send?
Who is blind like the one committed to me,
blind like the servant of the LORD ?
20 You have seen many things, but have paid no attention;
your ears are open, but you hear nothing."
21 It pleased the LORD
for the sake of his righteousness
to make his law great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered and looted,
all of them trapped in pits
or hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, "Send them back."
23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention in time to come?
24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the LORD,
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow his ways;
they did not obey his law.
25 So he poured out on them his burning anger,
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand;
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.
have a blessed day =)
