chanced upon this today, haven't been reading that often.
If I were to be brief I'd say that the message is about battling sin whenever you can. Don't wait.
And this message is expressed through the topic of marriage where some people, me included, think of the marital relationship as something we need to change us– if only we were in a relationship, if only, we'd have the strength to live for God, we'd have the strength to live holy lives, we would finally come to understand what love really is...
But of course, as I've suspected, this is not the case.
Well, it still is some old habit. Sitting around, dazed in the afternoon.
Thinking that if there were a girl beside me I'd be working harder.
Funny thing is, I've been there and the experience was such that I was more unproductive than when I am single and alone.
And I think that's how I really appreciate the message in that post: who you are when single will remain even when you're attached.
I shudder at that thought. It brings back memories so real.
I know it is true.
So I expect this blog will be seeing more of me in the days ahead, since I will be having words with it more often now, in bid to stay clear from unnecessary conversations.
Oh last thing, it was also mentioned that we should get something straight: we shall live holy lives because we love God, not because it'll make our married lives more blissful.
Love God... You know, sometimes I really wonder if I know what that is.
Psalms 51:1-3
Have mercy on me,[a] O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Because when I think about it, sometimes I'm really not sorry.
When I think about it, there are some things I just can't solve by thinking over.
When I think about it, I really don't know how I can change.
