Our Purpose Driven Life(English Version)

CHAPTER 24 4:59pm - 5:45pm

     The truth will change us. And yes the truth will set you free but you will be miserable temporarily in the beginning or like there is no hope for you, but still you have to change after that. Because the words of God will change us, we will be real to ourselves, we will turn away little by little from sins, we will have self-confidence.

     Altering is difficult because we resist the way to change, it's a like a wall around us that's why it's not easy to change.

     There are 5 ways for us to follow the words of God, because reading the bible is not enough, or we know and understand the whole bible, what we should do is we must also act on it, because reading the bible for (15 minutes) every day is we will completely read the bible for the whole year, and if we remove one hour and 30 minutes of our time for watching television or anything thing we do, and we will put time on reading the bible, we can read the whole bible twice in a year.

     Lord God our Father and our Creator wants us to experience many things so that we will be tough, and i'm telling you before that you must experience hurt for you to be tough. Because God is like that to us, we are hurting Him but He still love us. And in this way we can show our sins on every trails and change it.

     If you are not learning from the teachings of your pastor or your priest look thoroughly on your character to see that you had made a mistake, because pride or looking highly to itself, is the reason why we ignore our mistakes.

The 5 ways are acceptance, reading, seeking, commemorate or reflect on the words of God.

     First acceptance, the reason why we do not accept Gods word is from our close mindedness, we easily assume or give meaning to many things. Because that's also happening before, and if we experience listless because of our trials, we should always still be open for a change to accept the words of God,

     Second reading, because thru reading we will have knowledge on the ways on how to go to the paths of changing. That's we should always read the bible because that's where the words of God becoming strong on each one of us. And it is important to write on the notebook all the things that we've learned. This writings will be about us, or things that we can do for the sake of others.

     Third is we should seek for answers because reading different ways of bible is having different ways of results, we will not get answers on only one bible but in different bibles. We should put them together to become one, unity or harmony.

     Fourth is we should commemorate all the knowledge that we have learned. We thought that our memory is weak, but we already had remember many things and that is important to us, and if we really give importance to Lord God our Father and our Creator, then it is important to commemorate all the words of God.

     And the fifth and last is to reflect, because meditation even before is the continuation of thinking the words of God. For example you are thinking of your problems it's also the same of reflection, but thinking of problems is a negative way, because it will just give you worries, but reflecting on the words of God is giving you strong faith to Lord God our Father and our Creator. And what Lord God our Father and our Creator wants me to do is to spread His love fully and i want to fulfill it and forget about masturbation.
