Our Purpose Driven Life(English Version)

CHAPTER 23 February 11, 2004 5:03pm - 5:34pm

     The desire of Lord God our Father and our Creator is for us to change, be like Jesus Christ our Brother and our savior from sins. We are like childish, and you know that a kid only think about themselves, they cannot give, they always receive. We are like that, we're thinking of our own welfare and not the sake of others. It should not be like that, and it is difficult to do because it is against our culture from where we grow, unlike Jesus Christ who always thinking about us and not Himself.

      It is also wrong that our base is those people who have more knowledge about the bible, yes that is one way to be like Christ like but not only that, because we should be like Christ on how we think and act.

     For us to grow or to be mature it should be not right away, because it goes thru a process, and we should pursue to change even how many obstacles will come.

     Like me to remove my wrong doings I should think from the beginning, i am not a gay i am a man, because a man will not love a man.

     We can change but we can also go back easily from what we are before, like if you want to be thin, you want to be a good singer, and if you are doing the process on how to change it's like it's so hard when you are doing it continuously, because your changing your ways, and to make it positive instead of it's difficult, you will say to yourself, it's not easy from the start, because there is no easiness on every beginning. but if you get used to it, it will never be hard for you, and because you are not used to it you will go back again, because you did not seek from the root of sins that you want to remove from your life.

     To be determine to change the Holy Spirit will help us, the gift of our God our Father to us, and we should be dependent to the Holy Spirit but Holy Spirit do not act by itself, it's also us, our acts and doings. The Holy Spirit will teach you the right thing to do, but you must follow it, and not it will help you but you are doing nothing, and changing is you don't need to change something, what you should do is to just develop it, like exercise, we are not doing exercise to have a new body, it is still our own body but will just improve it. And when we are completing a puzzle, you should use those who belong to the puzzle to complete it.

     To be like Christ we should change our thoughts, because that's how we can say that we are like Jesus Christ, because we have the ability to choose tread in our lives, but we should know what will be the result. Like if you choose to drugs, you will ruin your lives and be sick and you will not recover easily. That's why we should choose carefully our decision and not doing it right away.

     And we should remove our selfishness, like me we went to a birthday party but it's far away. Because we need to use our own car, i told to my father and mother not to use it because the wheels are not in good condition, and might they will fix it after and i was worried because we don't have many money to do that, but they still use it. But in the end it is still happy because it is really good to help people. And i prayed to Lord God our Father and our Creator that if the wheels had broken we will have money to fix it.
