There are always 2 choices that we have to make everyday. I've been asking myself this question, “Which one would you take, Hephzibah?”. The pain of discipline really comes once you choose to do what is right in God's eyes. You'll feel uncomfortable and want to do what FEELS right rather than what SHOULD be right. I struggled a lot with what I want rather than what is right, which is God’s best for me.

It has always been something God is testing me everyday. Sometimes I really feel like telling God, “Can you stop testing me on this and move on to mould me in other areas?” I just want to run away from this area of my life, but I guess God will never give up moulding this area of my life until I really pass it and overcome it with flying colours. One thing about God is that, He will not stop testing you on that particular area until you’ve truly passed it!

What do I mean by truly passing the test? It is when you overcome it with God’s help and you are consistent with what you have overcome/change. You don’t just overcome and change only on that day and the next day or a few days after that you fall back into that same thing.

I’ve got to admit that it isn’t easy, I’ve experience it myself before. To really truly pass the test it really takes a lot of effort to always stick close to God and asking Him to guard your heart at all times. You’ve got to be close to God if you want to have that kind of life that God wants to give us. There may be many circumstances in our lives but God promise His presence and help to be always there for us. Who says the walk with God is easy? No, it is never going to be easy but we are never alone in this race.

As I typed out all these, I feel as if I’m rebuking myself and reminding myself. This may sound very silly though. LOL. I just pray that God will bring me through all these; temptations always come & rob me away all the time. How I hate all these temptations!! All I need is to focus on God everyday and be reminded of that everyday. If anyone could help me in this, I’ll be thankful for it.
