i think for the next 5 days towards camp, i'm going to devote myself more in God. this is the time i have surrendered to Him. no matter how much more i have to do for assignment, no matter how many lectures i need to catch up on, i will not let each day go pass without a quiet time alone with God.
'cause i'm expecting BIG things to come up during this year's Bible camp
i think it was yesterday or 2 days ago when i talked about being bold. well, i feel that being empty is important too. you see, God is pure holiness. amen? that means not even one spot of sin. on the other hand, we are blameless. even if only one spot is on us (i doubt we only have one spot), we are already regarded as impure.
it's a process of emptying and filling. and it's not filling and emptying - it's the other way around. i don't want to be filled with holiness when i'm still filled with sins. this would mean that God's blessings for me was partially (or else completely) wasted, wouldn't it? i want to empty myself, for it is when i am empty that God can pour me completely new grace.
so, this time, i want to let all my impurities out - and that means i want to pour all of me. i might not know whether i have any spots on several parts of my life, but i know i have a lot of sins in the other parts of my life - both conscious and unconscious.
and to face God, not only do i need a new wineskin, i need new content in my life. i am going to let God fill me with His wisdom, blessings, grace, especially on the next 5 days. this is my new content, and i hope to pour it out to bless others with what God has blessed me on these 5 days, or during the camp.
His grace is always new anyways. i just want to enjoy every day living a different day from the past. i want to see what things God has planned for me. it's like a treasure hunt. if i open the eyes of my heart big enough, i am sure i can see the treasure God has prepared for me.
and oh yes! how true - His grace is new every morning.
empty me now Christ and let your grace shine in me tomorrow morning!
in the grace of God,
andrew
