When you don't want to
16:58 Edit This 0 Comments »
When it comes to expressing our feelings , few of us are more honest than children . I remember some time back when my mother was struggling to make my niece to obey . When she asked her why she would not do as she was told , my young niece said " Ma , I just dont want to!" That did not stop my mother from producing a rod and spanking her ! hahaha
Many of us as Christians are not that honest . We make excuses for not obeying God's will, when the real reason may be that we just dont want to do it .For example when I first came to Russia , I started reducing the number of times I would read the bible and pray . Later when I started adapting to this place I found an excuse for spending a little time in prayer . I thought that I was busy with the debts which I had to clear .
When I changed to english medium I still did not read the bible and pray regularly or go to church . Now when I sit down and think about this I have come to realise that I did all that not because I was not really familiar with St. Petersburg or the people .My real problem was that I simply did not do it because I was lazy .
1 John 5:3 which states that : This is the love of God , That we keep His commandments. This is where our answer comes from . I now have a family here , which encourages me and always there for me . Thank you All Nations International Christian Center . Thank you Students for Christ (SFC) , for your encouragement .
