CALLING

The Year 2013 is a year of the Calling.

10 Feb - CNY emotional crisis, 
29 Mar - 7-up battle of the flesh crisis  
26 April - 哥哥病了, 
23 May - Twisted Bike Alive in Christ
24 May - 7-up booted out
25 May - Calling - the needy beckons, the full is made to feel the burden, rise up!

I re-read the book The Breaking of the Outward Man for The Release of the Spirit by Brother Watchman Nee.  Whenever i become interested in reading a book, i find that that book always poinst me to recent events that occur in my life.  Its like practical before theory.  God has dealt with me this way many times i've noted. But i've been running in a circle - repeating the same lesson.  Maybe this is the way of the Christian walk - God keeps putting you through the same situation albeit in different scenarios until you tweak yourself and attuned yourself to HIS way.  So stop fretting and complaining.  Submit and die to your useless and foolish self  - carry your cross - and follow Lord Jesus.

The Alabaster jar must be broken for the fragrance to be released.  Dear Christian, desire the fragrance in the jar, do not admire the jar.

The Holy Spirit has not ceased working.  He makes sure one event after another and one difficulty after another come to you to break your outward man.  Look at what's happening to you - the events as they unfold in your life - if you see carefully, you will know what is the Lord's mind or intention for your life.  Do not define the things that come to your life as good or bad - everything that comes into your life can be meaningful and are for your highest good.  Work with the Lord, work with the Lord.  Bend to His yoke, take it with gratitude, receive with a willing heart upon yourself - it is light and easy!!  Just believe, bend!!  To resist is to complain, to fret, to feel down, to feel discouraged - all such negative feelings.  Watch your natural response - be on guard.  The Lord commanded and repeated that we are to rejoice always.  Time is precious, don't waste time.
