"These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed." (1 Peter 1:7)
The lifelong trials of faith. It's hard not knowing when or if you're being tested for your faith. Unlike the rest of the world, us little lost sheep are in a constant battle with ourselves to never deny God's existence. But even non-beleivers struggle sometimes with the truth - you can't be angry with God and not believe in Him, coz obviously that just totally defeats the entire purpose. We have our highs and lows in life (I know I do) where you occassionally wonder where He is and then suddenly, the next you think is that you're an idiot for even questioning it. I think this verse totally encompasses that. It's really comforting to know that the big guy knows everything about you - all your struggles and what not and he totally loves for it. Going to extent of having to actually struggle and resolute with your own faith shows your determination to fight for it. So you should never undermine your belief and values, although to be honest I forget sometimes, that your weapon for your battle is right there, smack bag in your face, faith. With faith there's God and with God there's eveything.
This is the first thing that came to mind as I was pondering what the hell should I write. I'm no Rob Bell but this is how I think. Btw, I'm revisiting the first season of House (the title of this is the ep. I was inspired with) and I've never really taken into account how long the whole thing actually goes for.... it's long. I don't think I'll ever blogg about it...I'm no med whiz. Don't know why I even watch it coz I cringe at the sight of anything...fleshy.
oh yes, happy birthday T.
peace out.
(and I'm never ever gonna cover news again, lame-oh!)
