Today as I was on my way home from CG with Huiling, Huiling asked me a question which set me thinking. 'So, what period are you at now?' she asked me. What period am I at now? Building Period? That brought me back to what I learnt at Bible Study yesterday.
Bro Bobby was preaching about God's Building Plan and that how the bible describes the life of a believer to the construction of a building. He was sharing about how the foundation is the most important in any construction. Using blocks to illustrate, he showed us how unsteady a construction will be if the foundation is not properly laid. Why do some people's life fluctuate like the stock market - one moment high and flying, the other moment, low and crawling? Because the foundation is weak, and unsteady.
I remember in one of my previous entry, I talked about looking for the Rock that will steady me and allow me to lean on. What is that Rock? Who is that Rock? Now I know. It's Jesus Christ. He is that Rock, that foundation to my christian life. My life should be built upon Him and not on any other thing. Which brings it back to putting God not only in 1st place but as the only One.
I've since been to 3 CG meetings with my new CG and I've received alot in these 3 meetings. Perhaps its because it's a new environment, with new people, I find myself being less self-conscious. No longer is there the heart pounding furiously, and the face turning red when asked to share during discussions. At least, that was what happened today. In fact, I look forward to CG, to the Word that Sis Glyn is going to share and to receive from her. And I thank God that I'm beginning to know my CG members more.
Sure, there are times when I'll wonder to myself and ask, 'how long is this 'change' going to last? How long before I fizzle out again? Am I ever going to be as spiritual as my cg members?' But now I know, as long as I lay Jesus as the foundation rock of my life, this foundation will be immovable. Now, it's back to laying the foundation for me. To know Jesus as the God who lives and who is real. To know Jesus as the only One, and for Jesus to be the centre of my life. Help me, Lord.
And to quote John, 'He must increase, but I must decrease.'
