'I think that was the most asian thing you've done in a while.'

So, ya.

It is Sunday, I was on the worship team today, we played some neato upbeat positive songs, but no trainwreck endings. Today's call to worship was the song 'I Surrender All' to which AL explained a few thoughts on the subject. Saying that the usual way it is interpreted is that we surrender all to Jesus, ie even when the going gets tough, too bad Jesus helps us win the battle! This is true, but there is also the very importnat part in which you admit defeat and surrender. If you don't admit defeat, do you really need Jesus..? Yes, you need Jesus, but will you believe that you need Him..?

Yesterday I was thinking of the idea that we have been freed from our slavery to sin by Jesus. Before Jesus had set us free, we had no choice but to live in the consequences of our sin. But now we have the choice. The choice to continue sinning or follow Jesus. Often we will think why didn't He just destroy all sin? It would be way easier for us. But then it wouldn't be true free will He gave us when He created us. Free will is one of the very basic yet important things that God gave us when we were created. He will not force you to love Him, He will not force you to follow Him, He will not force you to go to heaven if you would rather live apart from Him, He gives you the choice. We had no choice before. We were born inheriting the sins of our parents and so right from the start we had no choice. But since Jesus has died on the cross and risen again to set us free, he gives us the choice. (lol. I think I used the word choice too much in this paragraph. Almost as much as that other time. lol) 'Can't make my own decisions, or make any with precision. Well maybe you should tie me up, so I don't go where you don't want me.'

Well, ya. I finished all my work around 6 so I had a lot of free time. I have a lot of food in my house now. Half leftovers from my parents and half stuff I bought because it was on sale. xP

So, ya.

Ttyl.
