God founded strength in me

Two days ago wasn't that good going for me. I had to overcome that mountain of schoolwork which seems double the size of Goliath (okay, that's ALOT of exaggerating). However I am still thankful as I know God is just doing his job - fulfilling the prayer I made. (FYI: I actually prayed to be more hardworking)

"Maths, Physics, Chinese..." and the other subjects just appears to be taking up the idle space in my mind. Worried am I, but never insecure because I know my God is with me every step I take with Him! Amen, amen and amen!

To add on, I had to write cards for many people. They were namely my sheep-Jethro whose spiritual birthday falls on yesterday, Jihang whose spiritual birthday also falls on yesterday and the two newbies in the group Lixin and Zixing! (Mouthful eh? Tongue twister! Anyway praise the Lord!)

Guess what? By the time I finished my homework (part of it) and writing the cards, it was already early morning 2.30am. Then, while I was packing my bag for school the next day, I suddenly remembered, I had yet spend time with God. Tired and weary, I settled on the couch and turned my bible to the 1 Chronicles book and then prayed a prayer.

I said, " Lord, I gave my best in serving your kingdom, in taking care of the people you put under my care. Although it is already late in the night and that I still have to wake up early the next morning for school, I still want to commit this time to you for I know you are the Lord of all strength and power. I just pray that You'll fill me with energy for class tomorrow, that I would be able to shine as a beacon of light for people to see your greatness. Amen."

I woke up the next morning as groggy as before. My faith wavered a little but still hanged on. I was persistent for God to work His miracles.

I made my way to school for prayer meeting, gave out the cards I had wrote in the night(or morning you may say), played games, did group forfeit!(gorilla cheer!*LAUGHS*)

Slowly but surely, I could feel His strength filling me bit by bit. Despite being already thrilled by the progress of God's miracle, I sure there was more to come.

As predicted, by the time I went back to class, I was as energized as a fully charged battery, even to the extent of brimming with Godfounded strength! (I remembered that I was so excited that I "abused" my partner-JingWei beside me! - Hey, at least I did my part in waking you up :) )

What a wonderful experience.
To be blessed by God.
In such a great measure.
I'm truly touched. :)

Thank you Lord for being my umbrella in my rainy days.
We, as christ-followers need not to be afraid of the rainy days, cause our Father in heaven had already planned the best plans for us.

Agape,

Way to God's Love

In the darkness, I saw a hiss of gold. I scampered forward on fours, gathering maximum speed ahead.
Was I finally going to see the light that I had been yearning for?
Instantaneously, I stopped and continued in a very slow manner.I hesistated in my steps.
Would it be just another illusion? Uncertainty filled my mind, once again.

Nevertheless, I proceeded forward. At the least there was this least bit of chance that it might just what I have been looking for.
The brightness of source intensed. Soon enough, I could see the torn and tattered unclean fabric on me, a blemish in the whole picture of Christ. My destination was confirmed, this was what I have been longing for.
The richness and wholeness of His presence overwhelmed me so much, I could not look at Him directly. I squinted at the glaring greatness of Him, not being used to being that near to the glory and splendour of His forgiving grace and mercy.

Before I knew it, He picked me up into His holy hands and cleansed me inside out. I was given a new hope, new life and direction. He held me up to stand on my legs. I was free of slavery of the world.

That was my God, my Lord and Saviour.
