Hey all!
Deepest apologies for the missing blog post yesterday. As you can probably imagine, alot of us have fallen ill to a virus that has been passed around and have been stuck in bed sleeping it off.
Anyway, we're at our final post of the devotion! And with this you have completed 31 days of devotion! Or a WHOLE MONTH of Devotion with us! WOOHOO!!!
Today's devotion is about what we are going to do with our lives from now on. Throughout these 31 days, we learn about who we are in Christ, about who God is, and how we need to be Christlike. Now that we have learnt more about all that, we need to move on and start questioning how we as Christians need to take a step further, and live a life as radical christians.
We need to stop looking inward at ourselves, but rather, its time to start looking outwards and see how we can be the difference to the world around us. Yes, sometimes, I feel so small and insignificant in this world. Sometimes I wonder whether I am even making any difference at all in this world. Then I realise that we may only be a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be one drop less without us!
We read in todays devotion that we are the ones that make history. This is so true. We read of men like Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela. These guys single handedly caused a revolution and are remembered for shaping the world to how it is today. It only takes 1 person to do this... But imagine what we as a YM, or even as a generation at large, could achieve if we came together to do something great FOR GOD?!
There are so many various problems in the world today. We have a generation that is crying out "where is the Love?" and our response will need to walk, breathe and talk like love to everyone around us. Because thats the greatest commandments, Love God, and Love others.
One of my mottos in life is to Love God, Love People and Love Life. Thats it. And how I choose to live my life is by this motto. What about you? How will you choose to live your life today?
As we finish this devotion, read on to the next page in the booklet. There are a couple of challenges for you to take on. This should not mark the end of your quiet time, but rather it should just be a start to kickstart the spiritual habit of doing devotion and spending time with God every night. And I hope you do carry it on! There are more details on the last page of the devotion booklet for you to check out.
Also, we have a few small groups starting up soon, so let us know if you are interested in joining one! Let your YMM know if you are!
Anyway, thats it for me! See you!
