something struck me!

i wanna be a SUPERSTAR!!..the glitz and glamour *bling bling*, flashy cars, humongous mansions, clicking cameras...woo! woo!...lol..

okok..serious back down to earth 'me' thinks life is worth more than that... =) okok..i admit boring abit. hehe..

today's sharing in church struck me today, its from the passage of 2 Peter 1: 3-11

towards a godly life..

The verse that really stood out to me was from verse 5-7
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

earlier,
2 Peter 1: 2 says:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord

By faith, the promise of grace and peace is given.

With these gifts, we are to add goodness, knowledge, self control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection and finally love.

hmm...what i come to understand is in living a godly life, to add these characters of strength into our lives require peace and grace that can only be received by faith.

a tough act to follow:
Knowledge of being Christ like and the self control to practice it n persevere in practicing it..hmm..only by God's strengh..
