dead but made alive

romans 7

when i read this chapter, i learnt that we are all dead in us due to sin that reigns in our lives. Law cannot save us. Only the power of God can do it.

so lets not judge each other by our misdeeds cos we are all in a helpless state. let us look at each other with eyes of compassion cos we realise that only God by his grace can save us from misdeeds.

dear god teach me to be compassionate like you and not judge others. help me understand that we are all under the law of sin and death and teach me to appreciate your grace which you have extended to all of us.

fill me up with your compassion and tender mercies, that i may be that flowing stream that seeps into the people's hearts around me.

dear god not by my power but by the power of your holy spirit.

god i pray for my sister that you will bring into her life brothers and sisters in christ who will encourage on in faith and love. use me in any way that i could be a source of support and encouragement to her as well.

i pray that you continue to honour her and satisfy the desires of her heart even as she honours you and delights in you.

dear god i pray for myself that i will surrender more of my life to you. in my inner being let me filled with the presence of god. let me thirst for you cos you are my all in all.

god i want to know you cos you are the only one who has loved me completely and you are the only one who has given totally to me. i belong to you and in you i find my security. in you is my destiny.

lord, let me live out the destiny you have for me. always let me in the center of your will. teach me to hear your voice and obey it.

let me see you face to face and fill me with your joy and peace.

i love you jesus

amen.

Indeed let us look at each other with eyes of compassion, like the way Jesus who looked at the blind man and asked what does he want. An obvious answer but Jesus was looking through the blind man eyes and saw through his hearts.
