alive and free

today's sermon was meaningful

what impacted me was that i must be faithful in all that i am given, big or small.
i shouldn't be complaining about my inadequacies, and on the other hand, complaining that my circumstances are too small or insignificant for me.

it was based on Matthew 25, the parable of the talents.

also, i realised that it wasn't how big our accomplishments were or what the outcome was, but how faithful we were. and i believe i've mentioned this before, even how small a task i am given, i must be faithful and do my best. i'll leave the result in God' hands, just as the servants did; they invested the money not knowing what exactly would happen, whether the master would reward them or just ignore their investment profits. yet i believe that God isn't a one who wouldn't reward us, He delights in blessing his people. (though sometimes it may not seem like it; God is always working for the good of those who love Him.)

and finally, the sin of omission. this one kinda did surprise me a little, of how it was a sin when one knows that he has to act in a certain way but doesn't do so. its not really a big surprise; but i never thought of it in this light.

im learning new things man.. =)
