try to cut long story short... for the few encounters that i've went (and accompanied ppl) during the past 8 years, there's something that we alw do. burn that piece of paper, shan't elaborate but there's this particular clause/qns which alw makes me think. "Do you believe in horoscope?"

I have to admit that i kinda believe in my horoscope and it's alw on and off thing (like after encounter, i dun believe for a while, den read horoscope again - vicious cycle)

But anw after today's sermon, it got me thinking again.. See, if i call myself a Christian, yet don't behave like Christ, aren't i lying about my own faith & God? We become who we model after (sounds and looks grammatically wrong, but aiya..)

If i believe in my horoscope, i will definitely wanna be like what these horoscope says.. some examples are like "#Leo has a sunny, outgoing personality.", "#Leo is a natural born leader", "#Leo's are excellent organizers so long as they are the boss"... blah blah.. Even though i kinda admit and agree with these, but we aren't made to follow these blindly right? If we as Christians, believe (subconsciously also counted hor) these, I rather call myself an Astrologian (ppl who believe in Horoscopes, stars, blah) But of cos, there's definitely a clean, clear cut with who and what you believe in.

I believe in a God who sent His one and only Son to Earth, more than 2000 years ago. This Son is called Jesus Christ who was blameless and sinless yet cos of mankind, He willingly died on the Cross to cleanse our sins so that we may be found blameless in God's eyes too. He arose 3 days after the crucification, and is sitting on the right hand of God.

Like what Paul said in 2 Cor 3:18 "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." So important to look to Jesus and not to your problems or solutions.

Somehow, i feel... really disappointed in myself :(
