Only One Thing is Needed...

And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
But ONE thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Luke 10:41-42

"The service attendance is so low for the past few months or perhaps, years; more members please!!!"

"My cell group members didn't keen on attending cell group at all..."

"The musical instrument doesn't sound nice today, I can't concentrate worshiping God.."

"The temperature in church is too cold, let me adjust it..."

"I don't have time for quiet moment with God, I need to minister to people each night, they need me.."


Luke 10:39-40

...Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word.

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."

Jesus' response was...

And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
But ONE thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Luke 10:41-42

Yes, only One thing is needed, that is a humble and pure heart for God.
An undivided heart for Him is what He desires from us.

Not the excessive serving, serving do not equal to our love for God.

Unknowingly, we might be...
Serving for the sake of serving;
Singing without worshiping Him;
Playing musical instrument without Him being the Audience;
Enjoy leading people for our own kingdom instead of His kingdom;
Loving the church as an organisation without loving Him.

Remember, one One thing is needed,
let's sit by His feet each day and listen what He actually wants.

Just fix our eyes on Him,
and everything else will take its place.

only One thing is needed... = )

What's Next?Trust God.

I am looking forward to the next project that God will me. What is like? How will it go? Where will it be? I know that God is with me all the time. I realize something important through these 2 months – my relationship with God is always my first priority.

I have not been doing my quiet time for 2 months. I would rather say my relationship with God is getting colder. I look good from the outside, but I don’t have the peace inside, it was still the wicked me that covered up well. I am living a double life, and YES, I am two timing God. I still go to church, I still believe in God, I still love God. Or…am I? I always ask God, “Will You still love me even if I don’t, or at least I started to “not so willing” anymore?” I have been giving as many reasons as I could to analyze my thoughts and my actions – I am running away from my own pain. The Truth hurts, but is the lie that kills. I can’t earn God’s love, it is given freely through the Blood of Jesus. But I was doing it with all the wrong reason to bribe God. I was totally wrong. God still bless me, why? I could have died thousand times to my own sins but God make me stay, why? I feel so ashamed to come before Him and confess myself. Where should I start, what should I do?

The fire is getting dimmer, I am losing my way in God. Words are coming in and out of my mind at the same time, I cant concentrate well, I am losing my patience, I am…I am turning away from God but I cant afford to lose Him. I have no words to describe myself.

I know this is the part that I have to deal with God myself, it is a very big step for me to get back on my feet from where I fall. I trust God for every situation He puts me in, because He will never let me fighting this battle alone. I challenge myself to realize the possibilities lie in every situation, I allow myself to be challenged and counter it back with God’s words. I don’t cover up myself but I do slowly let it all out under the sun. People are more interested in watching us getting back on our feet through failures with God’s strength. I am falling hard, but I know God’s love is even bigger. He has so much love for me, He can give even more into your life. My prayer for you today.

“When you see there is only one set of foot print on the sand, it is God that carrying you on His shoulder.” Amen.
