Learning to besome a more mature person (2 years in Sabah)

I am willing to offer my life to God.

Somehow, I will ask myself that the reason I do so is just a token of appreciation to God's love and grace that He's been shown to me and my family?

What is actually the correct attitude to commit one’s life to God?

Anyway,

I would like to write this passage with a heart of gratitude for what’s God had been leading and molding me for the past two years in Sabah.

I have learnt is to put God as the top priority of my life. The more I love God the more blessing I received from God.

The second thing is never let pride overwhelms me.

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18

I learnt this lesson in the 1st sem of my second year. I was over confident to myself that I would be able to get good result without spending much effort in my study. Instead of studying, I joined many activities in campus and church. Moreover, I preferred to spend my time in watching movies than to do devotion. As the result, I got the worse results for that sem. I had been deeply regretted for my arrogant before I was thankful for God’s love in molding and pruning my life.

Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. Hebrew 12:6

I can see the blessing of God to the descendants of those who worship and love Him. His promises never fail.

...showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exodus 20:6

I am grateful that I have a pair of faithful and devoted parents. Thanks God for His abundant grace and mercy bestowed upon them. No matter how hard are the trials they faced in the path of ministering God and the people, they are able to fix their eyes at God. No matter how injustice they have been treated, how nonsense are the attitudes of others do against them, they are still able to Bless them before God. Our almighty and sovereign God knows the hardship of my parents endured, He blessed us (children) in every aspect.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrew 10:23
