From the cup illustration, many have left comments for me to think and/or laugh over other versions or perspective.
i am happy that my thoughts have triggered some reflections from you.
This week, i was reminded again about our perspective of God or rather our wrong perspective of God. Many times i found myself reducing God to a very performance based God; whose blessings are dependent on my works. Also i tended to reduce His blessings to what i would "give if i am God" - much less than Who He really would.
I was challenged to re-focus my view of Him. And i suspect i am not the only one in this journey.....

hello pastorrrr!
Heehee, so excited to come and view your blog periodically hee... welcome to the funky online world of blogs...
do look forward to hear bout ur journeys in life, to let god teach us something thru u too!
hee... a performance-based god, i guess we all struggle, esp. if we were brought up in that environment... but his tender grace and mercy always moves us futher out of such legalistic views!
Miss u pastor! Long time no see... catch up sometime again k?
HI!~
can really see that your blog is spreading fast huh? hahas..
In this world where we are in, bringing brought up in a performance-based and materialistic environment, it cant be helped tat we wil tend to see God as a performance based God. But thank God, he is a God of unconditional love.
May we walk together as a family along the journey towards re-discovering God. :)
God Bless you. ;)
