Well another month is about to go by...time sure flies.
Have you ( when you were young ) tried running up the escalators going in the opposite direction?
Well I feel like that kid right now with my walk. I keep walking but seemed to have made little progress for so much effort of work and when I stop, I end up at the bottom again and I go up again......
It's called " Taking one step forward while taking three steps back "
I need to get back to praying and reading the Word of God cos I feel I have turned into the older son in the parable of the prodigal son.
Everyone knows this parable....actually the younger son was more well known than his older bro. I didn't really understand the statement made by the older brother when he complained to his father about him not getting any recongition but when his younger brother returned, there was a big party.
It wasn't until Sunday service where a guest speaker touched that subject then I began to understand. We think that only by working then can we gain God's love but then work in the form of attending service, being involved in ministry etc is good BUT God's love is unconditional.
The ending statement sums up about God's love for the lost when the father turned to his older son and said to him " With you I will always have, but my young son was once lost but now found ".
God is looking for sons and not workers or slaves.....I feel I have become too much of a worker in the children's ministry and need to just stop and smell the roses. Only then would I be able to carry on....
MoOOoOOOOoooooooooooooOOooOoo.
