Luke 10:38-42 38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain villiage; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she has a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." 41 And Jesus answered and said to her,"Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 "But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be take away from her."
Throughout this past one week, I felt that I have neglected my part of being a Mary. I felt that I placed ministry and works infront and thus I have been weared down and always feeling so miserable.
Then I just kept thinking of this few verses mentioned above and I pondered awhile. I realised I haven't been praying like I used to, I haven't been worshipping God like I used to, I have been daily reading His word. Guilt and shame hit me and i believe many people always hit this point in their life and will start to blame themselves for things and thus, not picking themselves up from their fall.
Friends, I want to tell you that guilt and shame is what the devil wants out of you and please, do not feel that way because Jesus has paid the price on the cross. Pray and ask God that you may be in His presence 24/7, that no lies of the enemy may struck you down because all you would think of is Him.
Friends, lay down all the works at the foot of the cross and start getting back on track with God. This has been a very tight period for everyone especially the sec4s and also the sec2s for the streaming. But would you put aside this and just to be a Mary being at Jesus' feet worshipping Him, praying to Him, loving Him? Lets pray that God start to mould us into what He has destined us to be.
Cmon! Lets return to the first love and not forgetting that His love is unconditional. =D
