emerge - the personal part

Emerge really caused me to crucify my flesh and present myself as a living sacrifice unto the altar.
In the past, sins were forgiven through the blood shed by the animal sacrifices on the altar. But this effect is not permanent. People continue to sin and in any case sin even greater. Until Jesus came 2000 years ago and once and for all, His blood was shed and our sins were forgiven and forgotten. And we can have victory over sin and death.
All the preaching done by Pst comes with a common msg. Because of God's love for us, His Son died for us on the cross to forgive us of all sins and reconciled us back to Him. And now, carrying His love and grace we got to pass it on. And we can pass it on through the creativity and good gifts given to us.
During the sat svc, we sang I decided to follow Jesus, no turning back. With tears flowing down, i was reminded of the persecutions, sacrifices, tiredness that include in this following. Like what Paul had written, sleepless nights, shipwrecks, near to death experiences. Though I had not yet encountered something to this extreme, yet it was nevertheless challenging for me. But in His presence, His comfort is always there.
I am tired for this event, but if this is where I can meet God, this is where God wants me to be. I will be here, no questions asked.
I dun wan to worry but just be an obedient girl. Whatever He says I do and all things will follow after me.
A consecration of the heart and flesh to You.
