when we sang the same song
over and over again,
the process had become so often
that it's treated as an routine
have we ever ponder the meaning
of the song.? most probably not.
thus, singing it become insignificance
it nor longer carry same weight
as the "good old days"
In this world, we are often faced with tribulation and obstacle. this is a fact which is inevitable and undeniable, people suffers from a lot of factors, domestically and commercially. and thus, they strive to achieve a better living life, to provide sufficient food and shelter to their family. in the process of it we may lost things, some which are important, and some which are not. they become busier and busier as days goes by, till the extent that they have forgotten the most basic thing of all. Not long ago, i got struck by this (what i call) "inspiration". it came across which i was singing a hymn.
Since human being are pursuing a better life, most of our time are spent in our job as we strive to be on the top of the list, in doing so, we've forgotten a very important yet basic thing which posses in the ancient times, our believe. if we're one believer, we would know that human being always uses a very powerful and simple excuse to get them self out this, they would say that "I'm busy" any yet, they can come out with tons and tons of reasons just to back up that reasons. have u ever wonder what might God replied.?
*before that let me exclude myself, everything which is mention here is only my own feeling*
the answer could be possibly found at the first verse in the hymn 297,
" I gave my life to thee My precious blood I gave. . . . .I gave I gave My life to thee, what hast thou giv'n to Me."
This is indeed true, the Lord gave up his life for us, he gave us everything including his own life.
but on the other hand what had we given to him.? we cannot give up our pleasure, habits, time and etc.
Human, we are very selfish we will keep everything to our self, priorities our self above others. even if we had extra most likely we would keep to our next keen if not we would just keep it to our self. more often than not, we will reserve everything to our self the concept of giving others the "extra" didn't even cross to our mind at the first place.
thinking back now, what had we given to Him.? i think most of us will come out with a bundle of list saying this and that, but are the things is what He really needs?giving is a problem itself to us, but giving the right things is even more a major problem to us, it's even more hectic.
He gave us the thing we need the most -not really much- but it is what we needs the most, a salvation plan. In contras, what had we given to Him.?we cal always repay Him by giving our time to Him more, converse with Him, striving to live a godly life. i believe that what He wants from us is i godly nation, a nation in His likeness.
p/s: sorry if i offended any of my readers.
n/t: once again, everything typed here is of my feeling.
