What really matters...

17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And  so I ordain in all the churches.  18 Was anyone called while circumcised?  Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.  19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but  keeping the commandments of God  is   what   matters.   20 Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.  21 Were you called  while  a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use  it. 22 For he who is called in the Lord  while  a slave is  the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called  while  free is  Christ’s slave.  23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.  24 Brethren, let each one remain with  God in that  state  in which he was called.     ...

A Blank Paper

I was a cradle Catholic and recently converted to Protestant. My parents have been against Protestantism since I can remember. My mom is a Catholic but she despised Christians as much as my dad who is a Buddhist.When I announced to them that I am getting baptised into Protestant church, they were unhappy.

My dad commented that I am like a piece of blank paper, because I believe whatever people tell me. I felt hurt but a few minutes later, there was this impression in my heart that says "That is why God use me!" As a Christian, my desire is to be a part of God's plan. And being a blank paper, I allow God to write His words and plans in my life. All of us have our burdens, worries, past baggages. We know that our Lord is not someone who forces Himself into our lives. He will write as much as we give Him the space. The empty ...

Just an update...

It has been many months since the last time I blog about my walk with God. It does not mean that I backslide or stagnant. No, not at all. In fact, I still love God today or even maybe more. Unfortunately, I am not reading the Bible and praying as much as 1 year ago. I used to read a lot, pray a lot. Now, I am so occupied with kids and my online business that I let those interfere and reduce my precious time with the Lord. However, God is good (good is an understatement, really) and faithful and a doting Father. He continues to bless, to use me and make me a part of His plan. I try my best to set aside time to spend time with God daily. I continually questioning our Lord's calling for me. I still do not know for sure what does He wants me to do. He imparts a lot of knowledge (very little, compares to my church leaders) to me but I have no channel to share that knowledge. He even imparts spiritual gifts which I do not know what to do with it. Actually, I always have an interest in ...
