Muck Up or Buckle Up

In life, we consciously or sub-consciously trying to cover things up, to hide. It is true to say that truth will resurface and be unveiled itself. Don't wait till we muck up our life. It is never too late. There is hope in forgiveness. We gotta confess and pick up from where we fall. God's grace is abundant, people might not. But who are they to condemn who we are? In Christ, there is no condemnation.

Follow Christ doesn't mean we will never fall again. What matters more is rising. In fact, we are carrying on with the battle of the flesh every single day, a reality that we can't deny. His throne of grace is reaching out to us everyday. We gotta buckle up. It is better to learn from the humble and listen to those who admit their weaknesses, rather than being impressed by those who proclaim and pretend that they are strong, pure and clean.

23 The LORD makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37

"If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full." - John Piper

Who then, do you live your life to please?
