Willingness

This is all it takes to become a new you. A new beginning. Brand new.

Willingness, however is subjected to choices and decisions. “If you are willing..” implies that “If you choose to..” or “If you decides that..” and if you really put your heart to what you want for a change, it’ll be done. I emphasize of the word ‘really’.

Many people are just saying the words rather than putting their actions behind it conforming it to be done. “I am willing to trust God..” says one person and doubted almost immediately when trial sets in.

Am I (Are we) ‘surface Christians’? I asked myself that. Perhaps I am at times when my spiritual being seems fragile due to many unforeseen circumstances which caused my spiritual fall. Everyone does. “But shouldn’t ‘In-depth’ Christians don’t fall so easily?” one claimed.

Many times we thought we are ‘in-depth’ Christians because we attend services weekly, prayed fervently and share for prayer requests but we must also come to our attention that we can also be a ‘surface Christian’ which spread over a ‘large surface’ causing us to be so spiritual at times when all things are favorable to us. It is the ‘Depth’ that matters, not ‘surface areas’.

And when we realized that when we are actually a ‘surface Christian’ just like the Pharisees, we must be willing to acknowledge it and humbly come before the Lord and asks for forgiveness.

Some people are at times unwilling, which includes me, choose to rebel against God due to our fallen nature. “I trust and love God but I am not going for cellgroups because of…(many reasons)”

If you love and trust God, you should come even more knowing that God will provide.
We can’t seems to understand deep within us. Our problems are always bigger than God not knowing that God can ‘calm the storms’ and ‘fights the battle for you’.

Are we willing to let Him? No doubt the answer should be a yes. ‘Yes’ is a word. A word by itself is dead if it is not performed. So let us put actions behind and reinforced with our Faith in Him.

You might not know, the aftermath of putting your actions reinforced by your faith behind your words and rely completely on Him may take you.

Far greater than you can imagine.

Be willing to let Him.
Be willing to pray.
Be willing to believe.
Be willing to expect.

For you will receive.

“All things are possible for the one who believe.” Mark 9:23
