Recently a good friend of mine mentioned or raised an observation that I tend to blog as an outlet for things that I cannot say. And I fully agree that blogging is one of those things that I do to clarify my thoughts because putting something into words takes a lot of energy and thought.
Aside from that I had another aha moment today about me. I realised that a lot of times my disagreement with people with regards to theology/how God is represented tend to be when God is represented to be flawed in my interpretation ( I fully have to add that qualification because I am beginning to see more and more that I do take things differently from people). And on the ride home I was wondering, Sylvina why is a perfect God so important to me? The conclusion that I came to is that should God not be perfect, trusting Him is like trusting some thing that is unreliable and will fail. And I truly believe that that is not attractive. Then God is not different then anything and everything else I place my hope on, it's just wishful thinking.

13 | Easter / The Gospel
Have you tried to be good but don't seem to be able to do it? Desire to be better but can't seem to? That's sin, that's our desires reigning supreme. As much as we want to put other first we cannot( at least not all the time). We might not think that there's a penalty for desiring to put ourselves first, after isn't this world all about what I want? Well it's not, it's against the very grain of why we were created. And the price for disobedience? Death! This is the very reason we need Jesus! We needed someone who could be not self-centered to pay the price of our sin. He is the only reason we can Hope.
