About Christianity

someday, moka and i will graduate from this academy. it's also possible that the human and monster worlds will become separated. that's why i decided to make as many happy memories as i can while i'm still here.

well i guess i did not really say anything much about christianity in my last few posts. haax well i guess i should come back to the main theme of christianity, otherwise i will just stray more and more and this will end up being my personal diary reporting my daily life.

so, the guy, a human was enrolled into a monster academy by mistake, and all his classmates are monsters. but this human mixed in surprisingly well with some of the monsters. and so he got a group of very close friends, or you might say, a clique.

because that was school, he knew school would end one day. the path he took with his best friends was only a short one. one day, everyone would have to go their own routes. they might meet up again, and they might still be friends, but maybe not as close as before. not being together as much as before. so, he decided to enjoy his time, and create happy memories with his friends.

are you like that? i know that i have done that a few times. knowing one day everything will end, so that's why i tried to remember the happy times. if my brain cannot hold that much information, i write them down. well at least i used to. there is no need to tell you how to do it, as you might already have done it. the relationship with humans. many of us have different ways of handling it.

so i thought, today i will talk about the relationship with God. what is your relationship with Him? Him your genie and you the 'master'? God your Lord and you His servant? Father and child? Friend? well, i certainly hope you don't treat Him as a genie. although i sometimes make that mistake, like 'God i screwed up the exams but please let me pass!'

yes, for christians if we die we go to heaven, well obedient christians. you don't expect to sin as you like and expect to go to heaven right? but i thought, in my limited knowledge, understanding and wisdom, the relationship we have with God in heaven and on earth will be somehow different. you do understand right?

yes here we have trials and we live life as a sinful human. a weak human. someone made from dust, or cells. certainly our relationship here is different from when we go to heaven and live life as someone who passed the test. we are doing the test here, enjoying the rewards up above.

like the academy, our life here on earth is also a training ground. the academy prepare life as an adult. the earth prepare life in heaven. our life here on earth, like the academy, is only but for a short time. here, we have friends, we meet people, and we have God. and then, when the time is up, we have to go. where to? i hope heaven for you.

and for our time here, we have all kinds of memories. happy, sad, nice and bad memories. they are inevitable. well you could say life would be boring with only happy memories. only when we experienced ups and downs can we say we live life in a much more fulfilling way. of course, as usual, i am talking about normal ups, normal downs. those who got their family tortured to death in a war zone, those who have incurable disease at a young age.... you know, i guess i really cannot say anything. because i do not understand their pain, hence i am in no position to talk.

so, our walk with God on earth, well i guess it is like a normal relationship in some way. there are those who are disappointed with God, some are happy. some are sad why God did a certain thing, some are frustrated we don't see a way out of our life's mess...etc. basically, every single emotion you felt towards a human can be the same emotions you feel towards God. some even hate God. and i know people like that.

we keep the happy memories we have with others deep in our hearts. do we do that with God? i thought you should, although again i myself don't do it. well at least see what i have to say...hahax. God is like our friend too, and we walk with Him. just that we cannot see Him. but He is always there.

if we have a deep relationship with Him, i suppose we will feel all kinds of emotions too. so, we would have happy memories. happy memories with friends are important and we treasure them. what about happy memories with God? we should treasure them more right? i don't really have many happy memories with God, or maybe i did not carefully keep them in my hearts.

but in a relationship, memories are important. they are proof that you once walked with a person. that you once laughed with a person, cried for a person, angry at a person, frustrated at a person...etc. the same too. what is your proof with your relationship with God? not the Bible knowledge you have gathered. not the miracles you have experienced. not the prayers you did. i think these are all superficial. memories - they are the proof.

your walk here with God is short. and then you either go to heaven or go to hell. regardless it will be a different kind of relationship, i think. so, while you are here in this academy, before you graduate, collect as many happy memories as you can. and to do that, you need to build a close relationship with Him. and then one day if you are in heaven, i hope, you can take out all these happy memories and smile at them. because they are proof of that time you have with God, the time which although could never return back, will always remain in your heart.

i wish you all the best in collecting as many happy memories with your friends and God as possible. so that this walk in life will always remain in your heart and bring a smile to your face. time may continue to run towards eternity, but this frozen, special time will never decay (i don't suppose you will have memory decay in heaven, or when you write it down in a dairy on earth).
