Just because...

Just because I helped and smiled at someone, I believed I am a good person

Just because I don't believe in "sex before marriage", I thought I was more morally upright than others.

Just because I believe that there is God, I thought I was better than those who did not believe.

Just because I was close to achieving my own standards, I felt good about myself...

Until I came to understand and know who Jesus is, I realized that I cannot brag about anything.

My "goodness" is nothing compared to His goodness.

My morality is crap compared to His perfect holiness.

My faith in God is not worth comparing to His faith in God the Father.

My own standards in life is like building a sand castle by the seashore compared to a palace in a wonderful city.

I felt like a little kid who believes he is strong just because his muscles are sore from doing 10 push-ups for the first time in his life, until He met the Man who can lift up the weight of the world in His hands.

I pray that someday confessing  that Jesus is Lord is not as controversial or as complicated as saying that the color of milk is white. Everyone agrees.

No one can tell the color except through the eyes. No one can tell the sound except through the ears. No one can tell the smell except through the nose.

No one can say that "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit. I pray that we choose God and not sin.
