Being Holy, set apart from the others to be used for God's purpose. To start with, of course we need a clean heart, which is difficult to come by. Of course, this is entirely my personal views, and you may have differing views.

Frankly, i feel that i have a long way to go before reaching that stage. I can say that i have been lying. lots. lying to myself, telling myself that everything's going on fine. but it doesn't seem that way. my CA results have already prominently showed that it's not fine. although, yes, i doubt failures other than in jap, my low grades for subjects such as maths and philosophy has already shown me something: i need to stop lying to myself. no. 1, if i continue lying to myself, it will definately affect my relationship with God. no. 2, if i continue lying to myself, chances are my grades will continue dropping.

however this isn't my first time. during p4 and p5, i was actually kinda addicted to computer games. yeah. so my results actually dropped rapidly till very low. Then came P6, and i guess my introduction into megalife actually woke me up. during superlife i wasn't really interested in attending services, and would jump at any opportunity to skip church. although that has changed now, i'm glad to say. p6 was the most stressful year yet.

what i had planned to mention but may have digressed from is that we must not take anything lightly. we must treasure everything and take it seriously. to be Holy, we need to have a clean heart. To have a clean heart, we must be able to place our complete trust in the Lord. Of course, it is human nature to err, but if we face up to our wrongdoings, we will be forgiven. We must remove all doubts, cast every single thing into the hands of the Lord, as you know that He WILL find a way, if that what He has willed.

this holidays may be a busy one for everyone, but why don't we just put aside a few hours to really go into deep thought: do you want to be used for God's purpose, do you want to be eternally saved, do you want to be Holy? If so, we must be willing to face up to anything which we are having problems with, admit it, place it in the hands of the Lord, and *poof* it's as good as done. The journey to become Holy may not be easy, with obstacles and the Devil blocking our path. However, nothing is too great for the Lord to handle. If we persevere and continue seeking for the Lord, we will find Him.

I wish all of you will have a great holiday, and enjoy Term 2.

continue searching for Him.
