There were a lot of things that I learned

_______before 2009.During my time in Tsunami, there was this session held. The topic was called Life 4 Christ. It was my first session to go with Ateh Bea and Jamie. I've learned that, it's easy following the path to God and being able to walk the narrow road. We may stumble through so many problems and fear what we fear. Fear of falling, fear of loneliness, whatever we're scared of. So The teacher's name was Donna. She placed a cup of clear water before us. She told us, that that represents us, people, you. But when we sin and do wrong things that prevents us from following God. So in her hand, she brings out the exact cup with exact amount of liquid inside it. But in this cup there was coffee. She slowly poured it in the water a few times. She told us as she constantly pours it, "This is sex" She pours, "This is drugs" She pours it. Again and again. When the cup was fully black and dark as coffee, she lifted it up and said "This is what Sin does, this is what Satan is doing. You need to know this." So as dark as coffee and the strong smell from it, it represents Satan working within us. So she takes a cup of water and pours it again in the coffee cup. (FYI, the cup is clear so that everyone can see.) She asks us, "Does this look clear to you?" And of course it doesn't. She adds more and more cups of water into it. The cup begins to look a little brown and clear. She had no more cups of water. And she tells us, that this is what we do when God takes over our lives. The cup is yellow and barely clear. She had no more cups of water, so a little boy volunteered to give his water bottle to her. She takes the water bottle and pours all of it down. The cup is clear, but you can see a little yellow in it. She stops. "You see, when we do not sin, we become pure, we've renewed our heart and made this clear. God's plan is ready." That really touched me you know. Knowing that it takes so much water to make the cup of coffee clear again. It takes more than enough to become cleansed. It's all about being pure. Having a pure heart. It take so much time to fix our mistakes and feel like we are free. She said, "But there'll be a day when you may sin again. And soon, you'll become a cup of coffee taking more time to become clear. You want to be pure. You're way will be God." So. Yeeeup. Lol
