Rants and Raves: Got faith?

Okay. So I got that “”Got faith?”" sentence or phrase or whatever in Jethro’s friendster account. He’s a classmate. It is so catchy and I am stealing it. )

I am so gonna rant and rave and everything. First of all, I want to become active in Youth-oriented activities in the Church because I want everyone not only to know and believe in Jesus, but to have a relationship with Him. I know it is too hard to explain what this relationship is. Unless you accept Him wholeheartedly, you won’t be experiencing this feeling. There are a lot of things that you have to sacrifice for this. But in the end, it is all worth the pain. Yes. It won’t be a regretful decision. I am telling you.

What I don’t get is those people who are so naive about this topic. Whenever I talk about something about God, they will tell “Oo na, banal ka na Nikki.” What they do not know is that I am so hurt by what they are saying. Don’t they realize that it was my way of saying, “Come. It is fun having someone to talk to. Someone who will understand everything. And someone who won’t change even though you are constantly changing. He won’t change the way that He will look at you, no matter what you are.” You’ll feel remorseful even if you haven’t done something bad. They just don’t understand!

And one time. I was listening to a band. It is a Christian band. And I turned up the volume and then my companion suddenly looked confused and I don’t know. But she is a Chrisitian! The realization of this made me feel so bad that I went away. I cried and felt so dumb. And felt angry too. I feel for God. I know He is hurt when His’ children are astray. I’m glad to have been lost, then found at exactly the right time.

My point is this. Do you have faith? Will you be the one to stand up for God?

The Time has Come
Hillsong United

Found love beyond all reason
You gave Your life Your all for me
And called me Yours forever
Caught in the mercy fallout
I found hope found life
Found all I need
You're all I need

The time has come
To stand for all we believe in
So I for one am gonna
Give my praise to You

Today today it's all or nothing
All they way
The praise goes out to You
Yeah all the praise goes out to You
Today today I live for one thing
To give You praise
In everything I do
Yeah all the praise goes out to You

(Repeat Verse)
(Repeat Chorus)

All we are is Yours
And all we're living for
Is all You are
Is all that You are Lord
