GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
John 21:15 Jesus asks Peter, "Do you love me?" Peter said proudly He loved Jesus 'MORE THAN ANYTHING' in this world. Jesus asked 3 times and Peter said He loves him so much with so much conviction. At the time Jesus was captured and in trial, people who saw Peter asked him if he knows Jesus. Strongly he denies, he said he doesn't know Jesus. He did this 3 times, he was asked 3 different times. When asked if he is Jesus disciple, He denied it and said, “I am not!” Matt 26:75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly. Who would have thought a man like Peter, Jesus disciple, a man who was with Jesus physically could get to a point of denying Jesus 3 times? When He was with Jesus, he confessed his LOVE but he was weakened when it required his faithfulness at the time they were not physically together, he denies his relationship with him. Out of fear for judgement from society, the FEAR of not being accepted, our own selfish desires within ourselves, we sometimes deny LOVE and FAITH. And Because we lack of faith, we become cowards to fight for the TRUTH and for the people we say we won't betray. For we all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Thru God's Grace, even if we always fall short, HE still FORGIVES. He always Forgives because He is GOD! This is why HE IS GOD! If once in your life you were Peters' situation, realign and ask forgiveness. And if you happened to be Jesus's side of whom hurt, denied, betrayed, we shall forgive and forgive like without judgement. Never easy right? That's where His GRACE comes! The sin starts when you entertain the thought of concealing the smallest of truth. When you start lying, you will never be upfront about intentions because you know you have hidden agenda. Do not Conceal anything in the dark, reveal all in the light, that everything is exposed, where the way of sin in broad daylight is not tolerated. Be wary of sin. Be cautious of the seeds of sin. It could be littlest of things. Big or small, it is still sin. Like making up alibis to get away from something. Some people make it an excuse that they lie and hide the truth to protect the people they love. Somehow it becomes a scapegoat for people to rationalize their behavior that they do it for love, for concern, for the sake of other person. But reality is, it's for their own ego and selfishness, depriving others to the truth that they deserve to know. Love the light and live in the light because once always in the light, you have high sensitivity to any small threat of darkness or dimness. "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." John 3:20-21 NIV "A relationship built on truth is a relationship built on strong foundation. The truth loves the light which means you don't conceal anything in darkness, for the darkness is where the battleground of lies, deception and confusion lurks." "The strongest storms in some people's lives aren't actually the ones that are external and caused about by the people around them. External factors are inevitable but our reaction and behavior towards it is one thing you have control over. The most battles experienced is that storm deep inside of you, in your own mind and heart, that only you knows. Be able to find that peace in your heart that even alone, you survive your own warfare because you know you hold on to the truth."
