I don't really understand how come my sister can get away with all the emo post on her blog without anyone asking her about them while I don't even have to do anything to get them. For people who don't understand, don't bother.
Ok, before I continue blogging, I shall remind myself of the message today so that I can apply them to my life before I regret anything else that I am going to post.
Today's message was still about a life that blesses and builds. The topic was 'A spiritual extreme makeover'. From the scripture Colossians 3: 12-17
Firstly, 5 character traits that every believer must show.
1. Compassion = tenderhearted mercy/ sympathy
- reach out to help people whenever there's a need whether they deserve it or not (there should be no conditions for helping others)
2. Kindness = love in action
- doing nice things to make others happy
3. Humility = having a humble opinion of oneself, not thinking that I am superior to others
- compassion and kindness come from a heart of humility
- one who serves
4. Gentleness = strength under control
5. Patience = longsuffering
- bear with each other/ me
- forgive ALL grievances, forgive like the Lord forgave you
And all these come from LOVE.
'We are God's chosen people, holy and deeply loved.'
Secondly, 3 rules when relating to others.
1. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart
2. Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you
3. Do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus (you represent Christ in everything you do)
- Thankfulness and gratitude are part of our new nature
K, end of message. Sorry if there are people (eg non christians or other types of christians) who don't agree with this. I am not trying to offend anyone.
