At first thought of putting in some pictures and what crazy stuff happening last few weeks...But, just felt like putting in some words of encouragement here...You may not read my blog, nor know about my blog's existence, nor know me. But, I'm sure if God wants to use me to encourage you, He will let His will be done. Perhaps SOME of my faithful readers might ask:"Who?"... Well, I will just reply, for the one that while reading, Holy Spirit tells you:"you are the one." For someone going through hard time recently..Dont know if the words spoken are encouragable..But, I'm pretty sure if God has chosen this opportunity, I grab it.... :)
Sometimes along the journey, We are searching for something that satisfy our souls, satisfy our broken and empty hearts.... Life goes on and on and may seems like a routine. Perhaps nothing seems to bring forth joy...No matter what we try to search and try to bring it, it seems futile. Missing the good old times are a torment. Because, its the past. Yet, that physical mind just can't seems to shake it off that easily. I know, I went through that. I hate that torment of reminding of the good old times. It not only brings in bitterness but self-pitying. I'm sure nobody wants to live in torment. And yes, I told myself, I;m sick and tired of self-blaming. remember? There is hope is God! We are His BELOVED child. And YES, I repeat, BELOVED. Not beloved child.
He TRULY loves us to the extend of dying for our sin. The Almighty, who knew NO sin at all, bare ALL that shame and sin for us. We do not deserve. Just bcoz we do not deserve, all the more this reflects HIS GREAT love. IN the bible it states that:'Perfect love cast out all fears." I never understand what it TRULY meant until I had a greater understanding of God's perfect love. DOn't you see that God loves you that He will see you through? He knows everything about you, every need. From the biggest to the smallest. Every thoughts, every bad times, every emotions and struggles, every frustration, every envious, every decision making. In short, EVERYTHING. Aren't you so precious in His sight? :)
And it pains Him to see you upset. It was NEVER His untention to upset you. Nor make you go through every pain and struggles. It was ALL done for He loved you. To change you and mould you. You are DEEPLY loved. People around you do not understand. People may not know whats going through your mind, but, He knows. EXACTLY EVERYTHING.
Wana encourage you that I know its hard, why not just TRY, at least to fix your eyes upon the Lord above all that troubles. For when you seek God first, He SHALL grant your needs and COMPLETE your joy. Our God provides. And never does He provides little nor insufficient. He Provides FULLY and COMPLETELY. You may seek for sense of belonging. Let me tell you, your sense of belonging is in Christ. It is only with Him. That you find peace and find comfort. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. And yes, He wants to comfort you.
You are a wonderful creation. Ps 139:14 says that,"I thank you for I know that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. I know that FULL well." Do you truly understand it full well? If you do not, ask God to help you. I know its difficult. It took me many years before I can accept myself and everything about me and what God give without condemning myself much more.
In christ there is no condemnation. And yes, in Jesus name, I pray that God heal all your hurts. Be it emotionally, mentally and spiritually. May you be refreshed in God's love once again. And that this love is so coherently that you shall NOT doubt. Because of Jesus, we are not judged. No one can judge. They have no authorities. Yes, only God can. SO no matter what other people commented, they are arrows created by Satan to put us down.
Take up that courage again and lift up the foot that satan have trampled on top of your head! Jia You! :) God loves you. May He send forth angels to guide you. May you always be refreshed by the living water of God. That you shall not thirst again. :) Yes, may God be gentle with him. I submit him and family unto your hands. In Jesus name I prayed, amen.
