Today I am thankful that I decided to attend the Planetshakers' conference.
I realised the shocking truth that I wanted to go not because of Jesus or God, but because of Planetshakers, well known for throwing a good 'Christian rave party' I realised that I based my decision on the wrong purpose, and I think God reminded me tonight through the pastor's words.
The pastor also talked about the renewal of our commitment to God.
Sometimes, we may say that we love God, but very often we do not love him first. God does not deserve to be second place, third place, or any other place other than first. Anything that comes before God, is an idol, and that idol has to be destroyed. It was at that moment that I felt it, how my pursuit of enjoying my break has wedged me against the one who has been there for me through the lowest moments of my life, and has blessed me with too many things.
Hence, I've made some new resolutions.
1. To focus on God as my one and only goal. Everything else will come after.
2. To cut down on the time spent on aimless browsing on the web.
3. To do my deviation everyday
4. To fully commit every aspect of my life to HIM.
Elisabeth Elliot: "Refuse self-pity. Refuse it absolutely. It is a deadly thing with power to destroy you. Turn your thoughts to Christ who has already carried your griefs and sorrows"
