i've been staring at the codes but i can't seem to change the font of the links and i don't know why either D:
haha anyway i think the holidays have been passing okay so far..
at least i've managed to work doubly hard in the day and slack at night, so i won't regret when this short week is over (: haha thank God cos this isn't exactly the usual me!
but i've decided to work harder and not be the lazy person i was in sec 1 and sec 2 heh..
yups i found this passage from our daily bread which i found in my drawer (somehow it wasn't with the rest)! it's quite an old issue but then i just kept reading until i found this:
As believers in Christ, we shouldn't have to be forced or tricked into doing what's right. In fact, obedience can be drained of its significance if we obey only out of obligation or duty. Our desire should be to do what is pleasing to our Lord because we love Him (John 14:21).Let's do what's right out of a heart of gratitude for His grace to us.i guess a lot of times i try to obey and i tell myself i have to do it because we have to be examples of Christ and be a good testimony to people around us..i mean its not wrong but i never really thought that yeah, sometimes it's really only out of obligation or responsibility and not love for the Lord!
okay sometimes i must admit that there's this little thought that comes which says: maybe if i follow God's commandment in this, He'll answer my prayers? :/
hmm..i think i should start truly obeying God out of love and gratitude for Him (: and of course i'll have to pray that He'll help me!
Our motive for obedienceWhen trying to keep God's waysIs purest when we seek to please,To love and give Him praise. (:
