I have been spending so much time at home, that I wondered if my family members suspected anything. No more late late nights, no more stayovers. More consistency, more presence at home. Even cookie seems happier to greet me nowadays. No questions asked though. I think every single one of them are glad to have me around, except for my dad perhaps, because everytime I am home, I dominate the laptop.
Things are starting to get back on track. While fetching mum to her destination today, I had this compulsion to ask her why she doesn't want to believe in Jesus. I thought about everything to say and everything I could say, but the moment passed, her phone rang and I dropped her off. Lord, I pray for that courage and boldness to follow your leading every single day of my life! I do not have the strength to say every single minute.
Life would be so much happier and nicer, if everyone loves. I was woken up by life's realities last night, when I was reminded that the world's outcasts, while can be tolerated, cannot be accepted by some. How then, do we reach out to these people, who needs more of love, and more of acceptance, not being able to find it elsewhere except in the house of "patronising"/loving (depending on where you come from) christians?
Father, I pray that you work in every one of our lives, and our hearts, that we will be changed people, for your glory and purpose. Remind us, that we, your children are set apart, in this world, yet not of this world. We are different, and we are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Different, set apart, a people of God, a royal priesthood, yet humbled, with a servant heart. Teach us what it means to be more like Jesus everyday. Amen.
