Mesmerizing Serenity.

Sacrifices.
Traditionally in the practice of O/Testament, sacrifices has to be offered in order to pardon our transgressions against the divine law. In simpler terms, forgiveness of sins. Daily, we flop. Sinning against the love of God. Often, the sacrifices offered were to firstborn & flawless from the flocks/ barns. Blood has to be shed at the altar as an exchange for redemption. It points to the fundamental idea : It has to cost us something. Ain't anything ordinary but of significance & valuable. Fasting from food, bustling tasks to addictions... On top of that, a TRUE + GENUINE repentance comes with restitution. What will be the point if we apologized to God after confessing our inequities, YET take no action nor intention to restore our conduct to how God intends in the initial?




Spiritual Work-Out.
Christian life is somewhat similar to sailing on a vast sea. Endless distractions, temptations...
The Holy Spirit is the sole guide to our directions of sailing. Yes, we accelerate in a fast pace, but that minute twist of angle may impact the entire journey in the long run, which applies to the purposes & blessings our Father has in stored for us. We swayed. We assumed it would be fine. In fact, NOPE. Totally. Henceforth, conscience-examination should be done daily. Pondering our conducts,motives, attitudes, reactions. Does it offend the holiness of God? Will God be pleased? Does the decision glorify Him? Fix the adamant, prepare ourselves always ready to be made right with the GOD, aligned with the instructions & will installed by GOD as far as we could, to be in line with the direction provided by the blessed trinity, consistently + persistently. 

It's through the power of Holy Spirit, eloquence of speech to evangelize is flowed ; by the divine presence, death was resurrected, known as supernatural. 

The love of God for us is PERSONAL & unconditional.Love is either unconditional or it's no love. You might like someone conditional on their personality or behavior or circumstances. But love accepts no boundaries. So never say 'I love you because', for love has no cause, love comes from God. When Jesus was hung on the cross, He could have a choice exercising His divine power, triumph over humanity. Nonetheless, Jesus did not. For the sake of defending & wining our souls, His blood was shed so that we may receive healing by faith.He live to die to be resurrected, so that we who have faith in Him will reign together as He reign. That is the greatest love that one will ever do, by laying down His life WILLINGLY (not taken away) out of LOVE. The gospel is simple.

GOD is like the sun that sets in the milky-way.Constantly not revolving but remains stationary. When sin intrudes, it seemed as a barrier, hides & block the sunlight (His presence) shining upon us. We neglected the fact that it is & was us who frequently shifts & tilts away from The Light. He is ever waiting for us with open arms, because it is not possible to undo the supernatural r'ship of Him & us. Once again, out of LOVE.

Saints Saying.

C.S Lewis says.. 
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."
Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. 
There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.




Saint Augustine says..
If you plan to build a tall house of virtues, you must first lay deep foundations of humility.
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being.
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending.
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
