Holding on to God

It's amazing how God can work when you actually live your life God's way (and saying that, it doesn't mean you've to carry a 2 feet cross everywhere you go, even to the showers).

What struck me, was that during the entire last week, I often felt that the only way to see God move effectively in my life was by holding on to God everyday and making God the center of my life. You see, I am a person who worries about small details, and sometimes it brings me down when I misinterpret people and their actions, or worry too much about my future. And God's been saying, hold on to me and I'll take care of those.

Sunday came, and it blew me out of my seat as Ps Henry spoke about the importance of God's presence in our lives. God understood! (or so it seemed to you pessimists out there)

It all came amidst some doubts as there were people claiming that Christianity might not be effective because of dysfunctional Christians. But, why bother about the dysfunctional Christians when all that matters is how close we are to God.

Some people do claim that God doesn't work cause God doesn't seem to speak to them, or that the taxi didn't come and it rained although they prayed, but at times I do wonder how close to God they've actually been? Sin does cut us off from God, and though we're forgiven, God can't work.

We might seem like freaks though to some people as we get closer to God. Have you encountered someone who said, 'Amen' when the taxi comes or the raise came without prior notice? And if we're separated from God, it might all seem superficial or fake. And indeed, sometimes, some of us has been programmed to be a happy-go-lucky Christian, but for me, there's a difference between a happy-go-lucky Christian, and one that's been holding on to God.

Ah, I sound ..erm, crappy. Enough for now! God Bless!
