Love that’s stronger, Love that covers sin and takes the weight of the world
I love you so And I give up my life to say “I need, you so. You’re my everything.”
In serving the army, there are a few lifelines that make you feel you’re not secluded from the outside world, one of which is music. Since our cell group has evolved from talking about secondary school, concluding that ACS is better than SA(HAHA) to mortars, machine guns and that @^##^! sergeant of ours, I believe many would identify with me here. With that I begin this week’s ASS.
So there I was, listening to music while pretending to do work like all good lao jiao NSFs do, and I realised that, hey! I’m going to leave the service soon! Not to laugh at those who just went in, I mean we all serve 2 years equal, but I began to reflect on my NS life. One of the key verses I held, and still hold till today, was Acts 1: 8. Have I been a good testimony to everyone around me?
I was brought to Matthew 18: 21-35 immediately: The parable of the Unmerciful Servant. After reading it, I questioned myself. Am I like the unforgiving, unmerciful servant who takes grace from not just God but others for granted?
When we look at the parable from a third person perspective, we always find ourselves commenting, “What a lousy guy, forgiven still go and kachiao others.” Twist that around and imagine God’s looking at YOUR life from a third person perspective, sees you doing the very same thing and laughs to himself. “hahaha Isaac! Say people say yourself.” Thank God for His Grace!
The Lord’s Prayer also contains the similar element of teaching from this parable: “….forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
Yes, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve done so far. Have we been like the servant that didn’t show grace to his peers? Have we forgiven those who trespass against us?
Freely you gave it all for us, Surrendered your life upon that cross! Great is Your love, Poured out for all This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life Forever our God is glorified Servant and King Rescued the world, This is our God.
With His blessings, Isaac
