With aching knees, ankles and blisters on my palms I am back for a short time of rest.
These past week had really set me thinking, seeking, asking...
Drilled inside me are quite a handful of pockets of biblical truths and knowledge I had grasped somehow or another. These have been my source of comfort and guide whenever life get rocky.
With these limited and on my own strength, I managed to talk to a few people inside army about their take on religion and Christianity. I was somewhat stumbled.
As I ponder and look at people around in this very world we are in, this sudden surge of selfishness that is in me seems to come out. Are all the things that I do for myself? What does it really means to live a genuine Christian life from now till death?
At the back of my mind this hymn rings to me the very answer. I always remember the sweetness of the melody and my salvation and the joy inside all of us believers
There is a way by Frank Garlock
There is a way for sin to be forgiven;
There is a way prepared for you and me.
There is a way that leads a soul to heaven;
That way is Christ the sinner's perfect plea.
Refrain:
Look unto Him whose pow'r can cleanse and save your soul;
Look unto Him whose blood can set you free.
Look unto Him whose sacrifice can make you whole;
Then you will know the love of Calvary.
There is a love that passes human measure;
There is a love that's brighter than the day.
There is a love that's richer than all treasure;
The love of Christ excels in ev'ry way.
There is a place that Jesus is preparing;
There is a place where sin will be no more.
There is a place of promise we'll be sharing;
That place is heav'n, eternity's fair shore.
Jesus has promised a heaven right for me and for all believers, the very act of worship and service unto God starts from the point of salvation, and it should be a good and fruitful "walk", not bumpy and nosediving sprints up and down the tracks of spirituality. Army is like a very good preview of what life on earth is all about as a Singapore man. The very reality of it seems to make living life as a true believer all the more difficult. My prayer is that I want to walk with God, know God and do His will in every moment of my life.
