Calling to all: LOOK AT YOURSELF

I've been really wondering what have we become. What this generation have become because of the things that influences us.
I've seen the twin tower fall, the war in Iraq, the Invisible children of every nations, disaster due to climate change, death of many popular people. I've seen the change of this generation: From bad to worse.

Let me share you a Scripture found in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 "1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them." NIV

We are now living in the last days. The last days have started after Jesus' resurrection until His second comming. It's not really difficult to live as a Christian in our world today compared to the early days of Christianity where fellowships are prohibited and worshipping God was a big NO-NO to a certain land or get jailed for sharing the gospel. We are still grateful that we're living in a free country, so let's make most of our time in obeying God.

How amazing Paul have described the behavior of our society today from His letter to Timothy. Sad to say, even Christians are guilty for this. I think this is a good wake-up call to all Christians to take a look, observe and check yourselves against what Paul has written.

I know it's not easy. Change takes time but the most important thing is that status of your heart. How much you love God will determine at how much you can give your life to Him in obeying His commands and keeping yourselves pure and Holy.

God said "Ask and you shall recieve". If we ask God to change us, we must believe in Him and doubt. Trust in Him with everything and He will direct you. Rest assured that no matter what may happen, His gentle hands and His love will sustain and keep you from harm. He promises everlasting life from His son's name Jesus Christ.

Accept Him and make Him the Savior and Lord of your life and He will enter your heart and be with your forever more.(ref: John 3:16)

Hatred birthed War

There are two kinds of war; the one you can see and the one you don't. I've watched this generation and of our fathers who have decided to chase war.

Flying missiles, exploding bombs, wandering children, young people holding guns,mourning mothers, fathers full of anger. Betrayal, fear, hatred. When will it stop?

I'll agree with the philosophy of the protagonist in the animé manga series that I love to read. He said that there will be no real peace in the [ninja] world unless one forgives and love the other. I never thought that I can get valuable lessons in this animé.

I believe that we cannot change ourselves neither we can change others. We as humans need a much higher power and authority to have true peace. There's nothing we can do but to draw near to the One and ever living God. We can never have peace unless we will invite Jesus Christ to reign over our lives and be our Savior and Lord.

There is still hope.
