Jan's closer walk with God

Hi! Thank you for dropping by! I hope that you would enjoy reading a young girl's journey to knowing God. May you be touched and encouraged as well with just little scribbles from those quiet times with Him. God bless you!

P.S.
Please bear with me as I couldn't update the blog often for my laptop is not working. Please bear with me for the time being until I could get a new one or at least have it fixed. Thank you... :)

Scribbles

Wow! It took me like forever to post again in here. But thank God I had managed to snatch some time off and drop some scribbles in here. I was scanning through all my paper stuffs to throw away all those unnecessary ones when I saw my previous devotional notes. Scanning through the pages, I had a great time reading my thoughts, then I came upon this short scribbling.

But knowledge puffs up, while love builds up. Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. But whoever loves God is known by God.
1 Corinthians 8:1b-3 
Knowledge, that is something anyone ca have then and there after reading or listening to something. But love is different. It just doesn't sprout immediately upon knowing something. You need to work it out if you want that love to grow and be shown fully to the rest of the world.
Sometimes, the knowledgeable thinks they know everything. Yet, even the Bible scholars can still easily be deceived by the enemy that they already know everything about God especially that they had gone through the Bible several times and had into extensive study of it. Some of us might even think that we already know what God would say about this and that. But the reality is that we can never know the fullness of God. There is no pattern we can decode that will enable us to predict God's every plan for us. Only by His leading will we be able to know what God has called us for.
But we just have to love Him. God knows those who love Him. God makes himself known to those who loves Him. But then again, that love shouldn't just be left as it is. It should be worked out and it should be nourished so that it will grow and our love for Him will deepen.
