Imagine living in a world without sin...
Impossible isn't it?
Define perfect.
You can't can you.
'Perfect' is beyond the comprehension of the human mind.
I'm glad you made it to this hidden link.
†The Lord's Prayer†
Our Father in Heaven,
hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Matthew 6:9-13

Dead to the World
Take your time to read through my thoughts... There's slightly over 700 words of thoughts, if you have no intention to read every single word and comprehending them, don't bother reading at all.
It is intriguing how certain things happen, and the flow of events that soon follows after. There is no doubt that someone must be behind all these coincidences, and that can be none other than God. Why is it that certain things, that we try our very best to prevent, still happens? Is it because we are trying to prevent it through human efforts or because it is suppose to happen in God's plan? There is no certainty, but then again, trust is the key to deliverance. If everything were to go according to the way you want it to, now then, how interesting would life get? We need troubles and turmoils in our life to help us appreciate God's deliverance and love more, imagine this, a life without troubles... Do you think you still need God?
Complacency, that is one trap that Satan plants all of us in. We get too complacent with our lives that moving on seems like far too much a hassle. You might not have noticed it, but apparently you are already being complacent. Problems, big or small, they are meant to test us, our reliance on God. Do you just go, "aww c'mon, I've been through this already, I know how to handle it..." or do you go "God, help me out with this, I'm gonna go through it all with you.". Think about it. Everyone tends to get complacent, conscious or oblivious to it, we all do. And, unless you can tell yourself that you're going to rely on God all the way, and seeking His counsel, not that of Man, then can you assure yourself that you're on the right track.
Now, what is right and what is wrong? We can never judge for ourselves, one thing we can all agree on is that we only feel what is right and wrong. Feelings, they are volatile. They can betray us, or bring about joy. Why do I say that we only feel instead of knowing? Well, we feel that things are right because they do not go against our moral conscience. Things like killing, murder, stealing, all these are against the law, and a majority of us know that it is wrong. Well then, if you have been brought up in a family where stealing happens occasionally, killing is a norm, tell me then, would all these seem like wrongness to you?
One thing we can all be certain is that, the Word of God is our the only thing that can guarantee that we are walking right in the eyes of God and Man. But then again, do you really want to live a life that is based upon the expectations of Man? What if one day, no one says words of affirmation to you, will you still be doing everything for God? Words of affirmation from Man is a like a bonus from God, ultimately, you just want to do what is right in the eyes of God. I can assure you that a praise from God about your actions is better sounding than all that of your friends. And also, God is the one who can perceive what is right or wrong, He is ultimately the Judge.
And then again, how can we judge people? How can we say, that this person is ready? Do we even counsel God or we just appoint people as and when we feel like it? And how can we all just assume that a person is not ready just because the person is affected by certain problems? I tell you what I know. If God calls upon someone, NOTHING CAN STOP THAT PERSON. I don't care about all your judgments and assumptions, I live for God and God alone, so what if you don't think that way? Some people should wake up before they rant at others. Secrecy and avoidance, I had enough of it.
Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. [Matthew 6:1]
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. [Proverbs 3:5]
