If anything, I would be Malaysia's worst hypocrite.
Top ten reasons why:
10: I have not memorized the Scriptures and "hidden your word in my heart, that I may not sin against you..." (Psalm 119:11) 9: I have been proud, arrogant and impatient. I have not been "completely humble and gentle; [...] patient, bearing with [others] in love." (Eph 4:2) 8: I have not had a pure thought-life, and failed to think on "whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable— excellent or praiseworthy..." (Philippians 4:8) 7: I have jumped to conclusions too quickly and hurt people in the process. I have not been "quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to get angry." (James 1:19) 6: I have not kept my promises. I have not let my "yes be yes, and your no be no" (Matthew 5:37) 5: I have lusted after women in my heart and not "fled from sexual immorality..." (1 Cor 6:18) 4: I have not prayed "without ceasing..." (1 Thessalonians 5:17) 3: I have watched "p"-rated stuff as recently as May 2: I have judged others in my heart 1: I have been a stumbling block through the above actions to both Christians and non-Christians
As God shows mercy on me and forgives my sins just as I readily forgive those who have sinned against me, I hope that in time you may see some gradual changes.
We are weak by the flesh, but as we confess our sins, I believe God is faithful to forgive...
Yours truly,
Another sinner and hypocrite..
Thanks, Christina. I think i need to clarify also the time period for noticeable change can be anything from 2 years to 20. XP
haha..okok...neway i tag u in my blog...XD...find it interesting in reading the thoughts of others about life and experiences...part of my learning process.. :)
if we're not all struggling with hypocrisy and sin, we'd be perfect and we won't need God, would we? He works with us one thing at a time. when He's done with one, there's always another and another and another because we're His masterpieces in progress, till our very last breath (^.^)v
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
I can definately relate to you on that as another hypocrite.....
"It’s like Spiderman choosing to be good or bad. I ask myself, if I have to struggle, does it mean I am a weak Christian? I think it simply means I am human. It is human nature to know what is right but want what is wrong – temptations on the journey to submit to the Spirit."
Confessions eliminate hypocrisy. Let's make Christ the center of our lives.
