There lies in us a Greatness that we never really come to grasp and understand! But we never even come close to understand this if we aren't in that intimacy with God! That gift of the glorious relationship with God that will set us free! Over the year of 2009, I've seen & witnessed a great amount of youths that never really understand the meaning & value of the being in a intimate relationship with God! And over time, we conclude that the Walk with Christ Jesus, is one where it becomes too boring!
As i reflect on the reason for this, I start to see that many that walk with Jesus, fail to realise that as much and as powerful as the Holy Spirit is ever present in our hearts, we must also see that the Devil is lurking around, waiting to pounce on us like a roaring lion! We fail to see that when God created us, he created us not to be 'Robots' that just follow rules and walk with him as Zombies! We fail to realise that the closer we truely desire to be with God, the more devil would want to take us down with him!
I look to the ever-so-famous letters of St. Paul, where he talks about the fight for our faith in this world! St. Paul was one that found for him faith everyday! And its something that not many of us do! When we face struggles, time and again, I constantly witness how so many of us give in and allow the struggles to become much bigger than us! But of course we can't be bigger than the struggles with our strength! That's when, the mighty God comes in! All God asks is for you to the response to the desire he so beautifully placed in your heart! God's strength will be more than enough for you to become bigger than the struggles you are facing! But the great wonder of the ways of God is that, we are not called to kill the struggles! We are rather called to EMBRACE the struggles, just like how Jesus embraced and kissed his cross on his road to Calvary!
For me, I am certain that this is what causes so many of us to fall short of the Greatness that God intends for each and every one of us! There lies in us a great desire for each of us to fight for God! And i think that its not that God doesn't wish to grant us his grace and presence! I am sure that God only ask that we ask for it and fight for it! God asks of us to just put it that minimum effort to ask and surrender into the plans that God has for us!
And for me, in my own walk with Jesus, I see myself fighting everyday for God! This is my heart's desire!

Like i always tell God,
"Lord I won't stop fighting for you unless You ask me to stop!"
And can you imagine the great joy that God has when he sees his own & most beloved creation, his Children, fighting for him! I'm sure he'll be so happy and proud of you when he sees how much you desire and fight for an intimacy with him! And do you think God will not release his grace, strength & love upon us when we desire so much for it and we constantly show it through our actions! And I believe that its the simple actions that makes the biggest difference, like when we spend time in the adoration room as we try to find comfort, solace & direction for him or when we take that courage to open our hearts and be vulnerable to someone that could easily be God's instrument to help us through that difficult moment!
May you start fighting for God in your journey with God! May you fight for god until God himself tells you to stop! Start asking questions to God about the reasons for the different struggles you're facing! God is already waiting at the door of your heart! May you open this door in this year of 2010!
And for me, I am fighting for someone to rise & reach God! I am so sure and certain that this darling of God will rise above the struggles! And I am nowhere near giving up on this person! This is what lies ahead for me in 2010! I'm not giving up on you to rise and reach God! And you know who you are! You will rise!
Praise God!
