Connected

A friend lended me a CD, 'Everday Worship: 28 worship songs to inspire your walk' and I brought it home during this Chinese New Year break. Though my family are not english educated but they love it! The Rebecca version 'The Power of Your love' is my Mom's favourite and she keeps pushing me to rip the CD and burn for her before I return it back.

And I found it inspiring too when I faced some spiritual dryness that followed me in this mood of celebration. And today when I shut down my laptop, I saw the light of my Broadband and the External Disk dissipated away. It gave me some ideas to reflect my own self. I am just like the devices that lose their light once they disconnected with the power. Am I disconnected from God too?

Erm...partially correct. One bad habit I have is that when I'm having a big problem, I don't really take the effort to pray, rather somehow, I try to solve it myself. At the same time, when I'm not having any problem, I don't really seek God anymore. I only give Him one day, that is Sunday and it is just the morning I'm taking to praise my Heavenly Father. It seems or indeed I'm really disconnected all the time.

Just one day before this Chinese New Year Eve, I'm fallen sick. Part of the reason, I stuffed myself with all the heaty New Year biscuits. Okay, blame me. You could just imagine an illed redhead with running nose, trying to type something in front of her laptop.

And I'm playing the songs now while I'm blogging. Each one of it is so nice. I think singing songs to Him is one of the way to connect with Him. Like the part playing now is, 'But I need You to love me and I, I won't keep my heart from You this time...' [I need You to love me composed by Barlowgirl]

And there is one more song which the lyrics really speaks to me, 'And like a newborn baby, don't be afraid to crawl, and remember when you walk, sometimes we fall so fall on Jesus.'

When I fell, often I was ashamed to ask forgiveness from God. But we must realise one thing, God never condemn us. To take away the guilt inside us is to going back to Him again because He is love! Amen! But we must remember, that doesn't make the excuse that we can sin again and again. Because the Spirit of Truth is there to guide along the way and God won't give us a temptation beyond what we can bear. We must know that not every temptation comes from God and we should have the wisdom to distinguish them and stand firm for God. Amen!

Lastly, have you connected? Do you need some recharge?
