Sunday morning~

It kinda hit me in the head today during communion that my life has been a lot of I CAN rather than GOD CAN lately.

The day had a pretty interesting start for me. Was suppose to go for 2nd service (10.30am) but a phone call came in at 8.30 and said things changed, we're going for the first service (9.00am) and they're coming to pick me up now.

I was awake then, so it was just a lil running around and grabbing what I need before we rushed off for Subi :) We were a bit late but all was good, right in time for communion. :)

I had to admit I felt a bit far from God. Relying too much of myself, I was tired physically from school work and stuff. I want God to be closer than He is now. All these 5 months of 2008, results prooved it over and over that my own strength is not sufficient. I want to rely on His strengh with all I have and all that I have to decide. It's not easy to put God first in everything, but I really want to see that in my life. I want to be a light for God, a tool he can use and mould. - This was my cry.

I really needed a boost in my walk and I got it in the strangest ways.

The pastor went up for his sermon and I opened my journal in which I write my notes in. Every page of my journal is decorated by a verse or two and the page I was going to write on had this:

I felt like it was God speaking to me. I dun find it easy to seek God sometimes but the promise of God still stands strong.

You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

The sermon went into the return of God, a day in which the Lord will sort all of us out. It's just like a garage packed with things from roof to floor. If the owner wants to move to a new place, he would have to clear things out and throw out whatever is considered junk and keep whats worth keeping.

Similarly, it will be so when the Lord returns, the "junks" are to go. Only what's worth keeping will be kept.

Question is "Are we part of the pile of junk? Or do we belong in the pile worth keeping?"

I went for lunch with Bie, mummy and evil twin after our usual market shopping :) Reaching home, I found myself staring at my thermos only to realize the words on it. I knew they were there all along, but they never stood out to me like they did today. Again, it was something that comforted me and reminded me of a powerful God that we have.

And you know what? If I were to list all the great things about God, it will never end and here are four that I've been reminded of today~

1. Nothing can go wrong with God. So , really, I should be putting a 150% trust on Him.
2. God's strength is always sufficient.
3. God is a God who is seekable, not one that will just leave that empty part of you as it is.
4. Nothing can beat God's love for you.

Thank you God. Love You heaps!
