Time to Walk the Talk
I was ask a question today and it got me thinking and contemplate further on the entire issue and hence, my post.....
in fact, it was the second time i was ask the same question. and both times, my answers was not clearly made known to the person who asked, but deep down within me, i know the answer.
Call me a hypocrite or a heretic, but I feel that being a Christian is not about head knowledge, not about going for camps, not about going for talks, yes it is important to be well equipped about the faith and its teaching, but if you are not doing anything about it after all that, then what is the point?
i truly feel very strongly when it concerns these...what are we doing with all the faith education that has been poured out to us since like forever? are we just concern with following the tradition of the faith, with its full splendor yet put a blind eye and heart to the neighbor who is in need? isn't it sad that this is truly happening to our very own society, our very own brothers and sisters in the church?
it is truly disheartening when i know of such cases and hence, i make it a point to want to help the people around me, whoever they may be, young, old, male, female, rich, poor, whenever the need arises. what's the point of saying you wanna imitate God yet do not walk the talk? it is really sad to know people turn a deaf ear and a blind eye even when they are fully able to help....but then again, we can't force people to help if they do not want, we cannot expect everyone to have the same thinking like we do..thus, we can only do the best we can to help the needy
i do find joy in helping people. people around me may not understand this joy, even my own family members, but i do it anyhow. I do not need people to understand me or the reason behind everything that I do, as long as I know what I am doing... it is hard at times, to be doing all these alone, but I know deep down, I am never alone...even when everyone would not understand me, there is always God who does...and thus, I worked these hard for His glory, no one else.
and hence, when i was asked, "Do I miss the ministry which I am distancing myself slowly from it?" i did not give a discreet answer to the person who ask me, but deep down i know the answer is NO. all because, i know now is the time that i really fulfill my passion of helping. it is not just about the head knowledge but more about doing the work...and that is what i know i am sent to do...
God help us all. Amen.
