There was 2 men, both of them of similar standing & stature. But 1 went to Heaven, the other to Hell. One had peace in his life, the other worried himself to death. Oh, both were successful! In the eyes of the world, they were the 2 most influential men in the world. 2 lives, mirroring one another. 2 lives, both the same through life but so different in death.
What makes the difference? What made one see God, the other forever forsaken? Only this: One surrendered his life to God. He made the choice to no live by what he wanted but by what He wants. And that’s a lesson I learnt this year.
In the 24th year of my life, I learn truly what Christianity is all about. As I look back on my 2008, I’ve gotta say that much has happened. Much has changed. Much has been done and much foundation has been laid solid.
As many & 1 myself have noticed, I’ve gotten involved in church in a big way. Which is surprising as I did very little the year before. The only volunteering I did in 2007 was in November and December. Moving forward from last year, I have continued and added more things.
But it’s not only church. My work has also added Notgorgetting the whole upheavel with my ex-boss leaving. My current boss thought that I am capable of more responsibilities and hence, my workload increase.
And if that’s not enough, God comes along! Obviously He has things He wants to do in me, so what better time? In came the changes, mostly mental. So there was a lot of things going through my head at that time. What did I learn from all this? To trust in none but the living God; to hold on to Him and look to Him no matter what. To surrender all to Him who can do all.
