" ... but on a graph, my relationship with God would be a straight line with a few bumps here and there." ~Catherine~



Seeing Catherine's 'relationship-with-God' graph above made me ponder for a few days, how would my own graph would be if I were to illustrate it?

Guess my graph might looks pretty much the same with hers. There were always ups and downs here and there. It's kinda complicated, though.

Suddenly it reminds me of what my spiritual leader once told me.

"Our relationship with God, although there will always be mountains and hills, ups and downs all the time, it is important for us to ensure that we increase our personal standards over time."

In other words, BY RIGHT the graph should be similar to the following:



I've almost forgotten this!
And yes, after pondering over, guess I really need to TRY to ENSURE that my personal standards are increasing over time.

Regarding what kind of personal standards which he (my spiritual leader) meant.
Let's take an example of the extreme case.
Let say, 10 years ago A's 'down' period was when A robbed a bank, and A's 'up' period was when A decided to visit Church twice a year on Christmas & Easter.
So by now, A's 'down' period should be when A only visit Church twice a year on Christmas & Easter, and A's 'up' period is when A decided to visit Church regularly every week.

It is DEFINITELY not an easy thing to do.
Yet, guess I need to add this 'standard-improvement' factor on my wish-list for my personal relationship with God within two years from now on, as I wrote in previous entry.

That's all for my last entry in our BlogFest.

Thanksss much to everyone involved! =)
