Miracle

This was from my friend's blog;

When i went to church, the priest said something about the miracle that Jesus made and how people are still expecting that there will be a miracle in their life. but i think that there is actually a miracle in everyone's life. the first miracle is that God has given us life. the second is the chance to believe in God. the third is the chance to be forgiven. the fourth is the promise to live forever with God in Heaven. these are the miracles that i find in my life and i thank God for these miracles. i really couldn't asked for more, only that may with each day that i live i love Him more and more.

and my comment;

Well, the thing is with most people, that they don't even try to comprehend the true meaning of a "miracle". So, the question here now is not whether they are blessed with a miracle or not, but whether they realize if it's even a miracle to begin with. Thus, the definition is one that's ubiquitously relative to one's vantage point of the subject matter. To Jesus' enemies, He's not performing miracles, instead they accused Him of using Beelzebub's power to do those "magic tricks" and to prove they were right, they called out magicians, sorcerers and the like to counter-attack Jesus' miracles in saying they're just pure magic or black magic for that matter.

We need to visualize, literally, what's beyond this world, to assimilate the true meaning of a miracle. This is exactly what God wants us to do, to look far beyond the physical realm of this world we live in, and delve into the eternal, The Kingdom of God. When we escalate ourselves to such a level, everything in this world would cease to exist, virtually, and only THE MIRACLE WORKER and His promises prevail.

Who Would You Choose?

Another one from a friend's blog.. (see below for my comment)

Who would you choose?

When you have to choose between the person that you love or Jesus, whom would you choose? i used to think that this is a stupid question. it's obvious that we choose Jesus. but i learnt that reality isn't that easy and it's a really tough question. i never doubt myself whom i should choose. but when the time comes for me to make this decision, i still cry. I found out today that i really really can't live without Jesus. So what i have to do now, is find a way to give my answer, that i choose Jesus.

And here's my comment;

It kinda reminds me of some situations we're faced with each and everyday. When you say, choose Jesus or a person you love, it's not so much of a tough question, when you're not in a butterflies-in-your-stomach state, really :P But let's change the question to a somewhat familiar phrase; Jesus or your job? or Jesus or your career? Jesus or your friends/spouse/money and literally everything else that's of the flesh, and could've threatened you somehow, to farther yourself away from God. Now, that's what I call a tough question. If we're being truthful to ourselves, and thus to God, we realize each and everyday, challenges of such nature haunt us, and each time, we have to answer Him. Look at it this way; what if you're on your deathbed now? what if God calls upon you, and wants you out of this life, to be with Him? what if He doesn't take no for an answer? what if He takes away your everything? It occurs to me, we'll always have to submit to His will, whether we like it or not. So, why not give Him the authority to rule your life, and He'll be the loveliest person you can find, in this world and in the world to come. Amen.
