The Vision of Swimming Pool

This is a vision which helps me understand why I should not compromise on "small/little" sins (this is only a term for us to deceive ourselves, for no sin is small enough to be permitted to commit), and how to keep my heart soft before God.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw a huge swimming pool with clear and still water. A few drops of ink were dropped into the swimming pool, but hard to be found a while later, for the water was stirred and the few drops of ink were diluted.

Comment: We can resolve our own troubles/problems with our own strengths, only when they are small enough for us to handle and be within our capabilities. Further, we tend to solve or to cover up the surface of the problem, instead of dealing with the root issue. As in the vision, the ink(sin), or rather the ingredient of ink(sinful desires), remained in the pool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, as more drops of ink were put into the swimming pool, the colour of water began to turn black. No matter how hard the water was stirred, the ink could not be diluted to a certain degree to hide its true colour.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment: I guess this is what would happen if we allow those so-called "small/little" sins to be brewed in our hearts. There is always a critical point where things grow out of our control. The condition of our hearts can, sooner or later, be reflected in our behaviours, and will be obvious enough to be identified.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then I saw the still water was turned to the running water. Not long after, the water in the swimming pool became clear again, and the running water kept it clean thereafter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment: The only way to solve the problem permanently is to keep the water running, and this is enabled by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is our source of the running water of life. By this, the ink (sin) is not merely diluted (coverred up) but truly washed away.

What's My Boundary?

I watched a fashion television podcast tonight, which brought me into a series of self-questioning.

The event's name is LIFEBALL (more info can be found in: http://www.lifeball.org/lifeball/show_content.php?language=en). It is claimed to be Europe's largest and most spectacular annual charity event dedicated to the fight against HIV and AIDS.

I thought such an event should be meaningful, for the money being raised could be used for researches and the improvement of disease treatments. It means a lot to HIV and AIDS carriers. However, after watching the podcast, I was stunned. The event was nothing more than a lustful party for those rich in material but poor in souls.

I asked myself if I was given an opportunity to organise such a "charity event" to raise funds for HIV/AIDS reseaches, the amount of money to be raised was guaranteed to be enormous, and a great number of people are to benefit from it, whether I would take the job.

Part of me urged I say YES to it, because after all, those people are to perish in their indulgence in lust, and why not use their money to save those innocent people who are suffering from this disease?

However, part of me urged I say NO to it, and the Holy Spirit is in this side. I am reminded that I should not create a venue/event for people to indulge in their lust. Even though my motive may be good, it is not what God would appreciate. Once again, I am reminded that it is not what I do that people get saved, but what Jesus did.

I know that if I really want to start my career in the event industry, this will definitely be one of the situations I'll be in. I thank God for preparing me for a choice that I am to make sooner or later. Praise Him!
