BUILD YOURSELVES (05-29-10)

Jude 17:20-21
Build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God…
----------------------------------------------

I already started paying for my condominium unit although the building is not yet built. In fact, the old structures are still standing on the lot and not yet demolished. What I only have is a piece of paper telling me that after 3 years, I will have my unit delivered.

And as days and months and years go by, I would visit the site regularly to check if the works are progressing. And as I see those steel bars, then concrete structure started to take shape, I knew that the developer would be true to his words.

You must be an infant today in your faith or maybe already an adult. Still, you must persevere to build yourself up in your faith. God will continue to give you steel bars, then pour concrete on you to do this. For He promised that He wants you with Him complete and full of life.

This is what we must think; this is what we must believe. And He is looking at you every day, ensuring that you grow in your faith each day.

Build yourselves up and increase your faith. Fill yourself with the words of the Lord. Get your bible and read about the good news. Overwater yourself with His words, with His promises, with His love, with His passion, with His spirit. Your soul will definitely not rot away, but grow more and more in love, until, it overflows.

Your body may wither as time goes by but your soul, filled with the spirit of God, will remain forever.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, in light of all You have done for me cause me to love as You have loved me. Though I am unlovable You chose to still love me. Let Your word grow in my heart and remains there forever. Fill me up with Your water of life so Your word will be the good seed that will grow and produce the fruit of love. Amen +

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
