Holiness is in living an ordinary life, in a community of fellow-disciples, with extraordinary love


This time tmr, MSC will officially have embarked on a new chapter of our community living. Many of us are still in some way or another unsure or hesitant of the way of life in community. For some we might have forgotten what it means to be living in community. For others, we are still very much in the introduction stage or trying to grapple with this new way of life. Whatever stage we are at right now, it really doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because Jesus comes and take us where we are! Thats the beauty of our God!
And without this Jesus, nothing can sustain us, not even this new core team! The core team will still be another committee. Therefore it is only when each our us SEEDLINGS take God seriously in our lifes, no conversion can take place in our hearts! And this really calls for a life of holiness that we all are called to seek!
Right now it really scares me how tough it is to be Holy. I know that with God's strength it is never impossible. But God's graces can only take place if we response to it. Today, i it really dawned unto me that i really need Jesus, and i really need to pray! Cos the moment i lose sight of him, i begin to compromise and every little bit, i allow myself to fall into sin. Bit by bit, little by little, i have compromise a big part of me. And after time i begin to lose every part of myself. Thats exactly what is happening to the world today, and very evident in MSC too. Brothers and sisters be constantly on your toes for you will not know the hour when the theft will come and steal from you.
