From the cup illustration, many have left comments for me to think and/or laugh over other versions or perspective.
i am happy that my thoughts have triggered some reflections from you.
This week, i was reminded again about our perspective of God or rather our wrong perspective of God. Many times i found myself reducing God to a very performance based God; whose blessings are dependent on my works. Also i tended to reduce His blessings to what i would "give if i am God" - much less than Who He really would.
I was challenged to re-focus my view of Him. And i suspect i am not the only one in this journey.....

ReplyDeleteHeehee, so excited to come and view your blog periodically hee... welcome to the funky online world of blogs...

hee... a performance-based god, i guess we all struggle, esp. if we were brought up in that environment... but his tender grace and mercy always moves us futher out of such legalistic views!
Miss u pastor! Long time no see... catch up sometime again k?
HI!~
ReplyDeletecan really see that your blog is spreading fast huh? hahas..
In this world where we are in, bringing brought up in a performance-based and materialistic environment, it cant be helped tat we wil tend to see God as a performance based God. But thank God, he is a God of unconditional love.
May we walk together as a family along the journey towards re-discovering God. :)
God Bless you. ;)
