Unlimiting God

Have you read this book?

Oohh.. I loved it!

This book has inspired me to grow in my spiritual life, and not to be satisfy with my faith journey with God, and also develop a good relationship with my family.

As a pastor's daughter I used to develop a 'pastor's daughter's behavior' and I hated it! I thought that it was very boring to live such a spiritual way of life. How can ones walk with God in that way of living? Aarghh.. and I hated my life, my circumstance, my responsibility, and all about my life when I was a teenager. But Richard Blackaby through this book showed me that life can also be fun when you develop a deeper relationship with God and become a 'spiritual person'. You can feel this way while you enjoy your life with the ones you love. (Oh, I've never heard about this before! I always thought that a spiritual family supposed to be calm, serious and so 'spiritual' so one can see God through your life!). I don't know who was guilty: the doctrine I got, or my way of thinking. But yeah, it's not a big deal now. We can create and share joy in our family if we want to, and no matters how spiritual you are, you still be able to enjoy your life!

Oh you know what, it was a great joy to know this truth (yeah, the truth has set me free!). I've learned that life is a choice. We can choose to be joyful or to be burdened. But, as long as we walk with God, unlimiting Him to work through and within us, we'll see the greatness of His glory!

Mr. Blackaby also shared about his lovable, funny and silly experiences with his family in his book (something I always feel embarrassed to do), so it's as if you can see your real self through this book.

And.. I became understand that if I gave up my life to Jesus, I'll never miss out a great adventure of faith in life. And I won't. I know I can plan many wonderful things but I can go wrong, while Him, He can exactly make the best choice in the first time He did, so I can trust my whole life to Him. Let Him decides what the good, fit and best for me. Thank God I know Him!

In case you want to develop a deeper relationship with God, I highly recommend this book..
