4/5/2011 - "I died when God had died on the Cross - We are one with God"

Scripture:
2 Corinthians 5: 16 "Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

Observation:
I shall idolize and have passion for God, but do I really. When I walk through the store or peek through magazine, I might find something so great at the moment, I desire more then anything. That desire, is it outcast, my desire for God, feeling it with materialistic things to feel my pain. I don't take sinning lightly, nor do I take forgiveness lightly. Though I know my sins are washed away and born again Christian, then why do we continue to sin? Do we take this acknowledgment God die on a cross and rose in three days lightly? Because it happen every year? I ponder upon these two versus today, though I recognize God, he has given me this flesh to live in this world, which if he wishes can take it away instantly, am I a new person washed of my old sins? He has taken away (temporarily or permanently) large factor in life that was huge sins, though my feelings are still up in the air with this situation I know that God has plan for me. Feeling of pain and hurt doesn't help me to feel new but definitely helps to see the light of recognizing God and his love, for he grand plans.

Application:
If I am new Christian due to sacrifice of Jesus for my transgression, I should live up to that expectation. I sin even without my knowledge daily, but I shall speak to God daily in my prayers and recognize that God knows the struggle with temptation and yielding to sins from the temptation. He will walk every steps to over come and teach me from each sins that I commit, getting my walk through that stairs for eternal life closer and closer.

Prayer:
Powerful one, healer of all pains, you have given this obstacles in my life for a purpose. Give me the strength to understand that purpose and able to fulfil that purpose. Thought momentarily it is painful, you are the only one who understand and have the rightful plan for me. That the life which I live in this world in this flesh maybe righteous one.
