pretender

some people are recognised for their accomplishments, success and credentials
some are known and forever remembered for their attitude in life, characters and impacts on others
some are applauded for their struggle in life and overcoming it, inspiring people to have faith despite circumstances

How do you want to be recognised as?
What do i want to be known for?

we do not seek for personal interest nor seek to please the world
but let us not fool ourselves into thinking that hiding our light under the bed will do any good or honor our Lord

Stop pretending what we, are not and should be!
There is no room for pretenders....
There is no room to be licking our wound and boast on how weak and vulnerable we are...

i feel so sick and tired looking out from the window...
outside, the air is fresher, brighter and happier
why is the house so gloomy and broken?
would our guests feel invited and belonged in this place?

we need to equip and train ourselves...
keep pushing, praying and push some more...
God is laying challenges and pits of fire to get us moving and going
He is not longer here
He has moved forward, we have to go forward to meet Him

Praying, is it an act of faith or a dependency for miracles and easy way out?
God wants to tell us that "it is not easy, not only it is not easy, it is extremely hard and we may have to lay our lives, would you do it?"

Listen to our own cries of prayer?
is it out of faith or fear?
Look at our own actions and change.
if there is none, we do not act out of faith.

We are lying not praying.
