nameless faceless generation
Been thinking about the words, "nameless" and "faceless" these few days, a theme I heard a lot of during and even after Agape Camp. I used that as my MSN nick and my mom thinks it sounds like some kind of 'alien'. But actually, it's just a description of our chosen generation...
"But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted."
1 Peter 2:9 (The Message Bible)
A simple translation, yet when I read it, I feel empowered and so privileged to be part of it all. It's like a chance to shine, but where all the people around see not my name nor my face, but that of Jesus Christ in me. I guess this is just one of those times where i'm conscious of the fact that I can play a part in his kingdom work.
Now I just need to remember to be a good boy (:
And i've been thinking also these few days about the word, "
blameless", how God regarded so many people in the Bible by that - Noah, Abraham, Job, David, etc. So I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if ever God can ever regard me that way too?
"The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever."
Psalm 37:18
I guess it's not impossible. I believe it is possible!
