long before i was born, i was already in God's mind..
long before i was born, He already have a vision for me..
long before i was born, i was given something great to fulfill when i grow up...
and
long before i was born, i was made to fulfill a destiny...
sometimes teachings during cell group meetings or sermons or preachings by guest speakers dun necessary apply in our life until we are faced in a situation where we are made to apply them.
it's like imagine yourself as a student who goes to school everyday to learn, about the various subjects like geography or history or mathematics. somehow the student will just absorb the message without thinking or even thought that the knowledge he learnt would be applied unless he's a mathematician where he uses maths to do calculation, a historian who studies about history or even a physict who applies law of physics to explain the facts of motion etc.
so it's just not enough to learn, we have to learn how to apply what was taught to us, and use them wisely. in any case, i thank God for putting me through situations where i learn to apply what was taught of me, and putting them to good use. no matter how hard things may be, God let me know that He's always with me, walking with me through the valley...
no matter how bleak life seems to be, i have learnt to entrust everything i have to Him, pouring out what sorrows i have to Him during my quiet time, and when His presence sets in, everything that had being poured out simply disappeared. As if God has taken them from you and telling you not to worry for He will provide for you, protect you and love you.
the miraculous thing about it was that i would be able to worship Him more and with a clear mind, as if it's transparent.
well, i'm just a step away to making my quiet time an enjoyable one, which is hearing Him speak. maybe i'm not ready to follow what He's going to tell me to do, maybe i'm just too impatient to wait on Him. but i shall, i shall learn from it to wait on Him, to finally hear Him speak to me.
want to serve Him in so many ways, and so many things i wanna do for Him.
God, if you are reading this, this is my promise to you.
To serve you with all I have,
To love you with all I am,
To be faithful to you always,
To sacrifice my life on the alter for You,
To live in Christ and not in self,
To glorify You and honour You always,
To put You first above all things,
To seek You always,
To be with You forever and ever in Heaven,
To abide in Your Word which is the Truth,
To be discipled and learn from mistakes.
Hear me God, please, this is my promise of a lifetime for you.. dedicating my life to you and never to backslide...
I love you with all my heart, God, Amen.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
