Walk With Me

Redefining Lines

I never imagined how my life will be without knowing this book- the one that has an overflowing inspiration and hope (The Power of Your Life's Message by David Crone). Let me share to you my reflection on the book that I've read. In one, two and three!

I was struck with his opening chapter, when he absorbed and relived the Buchan's family's insignia, "NON INFERIORA SECUTUS (I have not followed inferior ways)". Following this in my vocation, I can say it is very essential for me to cling to this thought because following the way of Christ was never inferior. However, what I like in the book is its overall content because every lines of it have the seeds of hope to love God more and to be radical in assisting his firm grace.

One of the many brilliant thoughts I want to point out is the sense that God is the GOD of contradiction. The one whom the world expects and sees unworthily is the one whom God exalts by changing the world-seen destiny into God's influence and legacy. One of the examples presented by David Crone is the story of Jabez. Jabez is a person in the bible which was named "the one who causes pain" because of great pain and persecution at that time. Every time Jabez hears his name he remembers what his mother thought of him but at his lifetime God loved him and favored what he want to. (See 1Chronicles 4:9-10)

Looking back at my past I can see myself as the one who has lived an inferior life where I've been into gambling and all sorts of mischief. I was usually tagged as someone who can never achieve any goal and in one way or another people don't trust me. However, God never neglected his poor child when he called me to follow him. I don't know why am I attracted to goodness, but it's just that I am convinced that this vocation is from Him who inspire me to follow the superiority of life.

Weak as I am, but I know now what God wants from me- it is to assist his grace to work in me and with me. I'm really convinced that no person can take away what the Father sees me to be. I know I am still human but to know how Christ has died for me, will always be my inspiration in times of darkness. On what David Crone wrote, I realized that life is really amazing in the sense that it surpasses every human mind because what we see as strong is not and what we see weak is the opposite. This makes me laugh already on my hard accepted mistakes and to draw a good smile to make it better the next time.

Whatever it may, the common thing is that God is the source of all our perseverance. He has never been tired of loving and hoping on us therefore, it is not impossible for us to love outside our comfort zones. Because of this, I ask the Father gladly, "How will you use my weaknesses in proclaiming your word?" Obviously, I haven't heard any response but the thing here is that my weaknesses will always be strength because through Jesus' grace, I'm working to change my Babylon into Bethel.

Awareness of Love + NIS + Influence + Destiny + Legacy = Modern Apostle of Christ

The Modern Apostle of Christ is a sure win and a must attain. <3 GOD!
