Recognition

Sorry for not blogging for such a long long time!!
Was trying to seek for inspiration from the holy spirit...
Anws, i found one! today, i am going to talk about how amazing and how wonderful God is!
Please continue reading...

As i was like leading the life that i always lived, going to school, coming back, going out with my friends, studying, eating, sleeping and interacting,i found out something...
I realised that alot of times, people want to be recognise for what they do!
What do i mean by that?
Alot of people even us want to be complimented and rewarded for the things that we have done..
In schools, people work really hard and try to score the best they can, wanting to be recognise for their hard work and achievements by compliments by the teachers, affirmation by friends or in monetary form from their parents or even the govt...
Alot of times when we do things are others like our friends or family members, we want them to know how much we do and sacrifice for them in terms of time or acts of service...
As for me, i will feel very sad and uncomfortable when the other party do not know the things i have done for that person...so i will purposely go and tell so that the person will notice..
Not many people will stand behind the scenes and just do things secretly for the person without the person knowing...
We want to be affirmed of...we want to be praised and recognised^^

Thats why i always wonder about God...
Alot of times people around me be it christian or non-christian friends, they pray and ask God for help when they need them...they seek earnestly and even if God knows that afterthat they will not give Him the honour and the recognition that He deserves and will just forget about Him, He still provide so many blessings for them and to answer their prayers!
He loves even the unloved and every single one on earth, providing each and everyone with blessings like family members, air to breathe, water to drink, entertainment...etc..so many so many^^
Thats why sometimes i just don't understand the love that He has for us that He have to be treated so unjustifyably and not being recognised and thanked for...

Thats why i feel that my God is truely a sacrificial God who cares so so much for us! which God can you find that is the same as Jesus christ? is willing to free us from all our sins and bondage even if it costs Him to step down from kingship, to be a servant, to be tortured and to die...it is for us to find a reason to live...

There is something that i learnt from PNP!!
The pastor said that alot of times the devil gives us a thought...and this thought is for us to either entertain it or to forget about the lies...
The example that he gave was that he found out this lump on his stomach and the first thought that the devil gave him was that it was "cancer!" then he chose to entertain it and continued on with that thought which leads on to pretention whereby what may seem real is not real at all..
A pretention is just like how the people on stage does a full dress rehearsal...even though it may not be the real thing but they act out as if it was real!!
So it is like he got worried and feared for his lump...
After the pretention, it can lead to things like fears, which can be like bondages in your life that grip you down and cause you to lose your freedom that God wants to give to you...things like fear can control and take over your life instead...
Oh! anws, after like 6 weeks of fear, he went to see the doctor and found out that it was fats! he got a shock and told the doctor "you mean i fear for like 6 weeks just for a lump of fat?!"
What i learnt for this is that there are alot of times whereby your doubt or several thoughts of failure may come into your mind...but as long as you do not entertain it, it will not lead to pretention which will also not lead to bondage, holding you back from the freedom that God wants to give to you...

So, just have faith and work on the promises of God and block out all the lies that the devil tells you about yourself and your capabilities...
It is either you focus on God, or you listen to the lies...
It is your choice.

God bless you!
