i need to get my mind out of the way.... seriously, the things of God, using my little finite mind, i really cannot understand at all!
Over the past 2 wks, i've been under SO MUCH attack from the enemy, SO MUCH that i was going to breakdown anytime! But,
No temptation has overtaken [me] except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow [me] to be tempted beyond what [I am] able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that [I am] able to bear it. (1Cor10:13 )
Lord, You love me with everything You have. Even as i don't see it now, it's greatly proven on Your love act on the cross... Pastor said something just now that i think is so true... When a person is truly born again of His righteousness, he couldn't and wouldn't renounce it... When he does it's probably due to a fit of disappointment, or discouragement with life... Deep down, he doesn't wish to renounce Jesus... THis, i feel, so applies to me... i felt so so down for the past few days... so disappointed, so weary and tired... as i kept asking God where He is... And then, like this morning, as i was going to church, i was just asking myself, "Pearlyn why are you still going to church when you apparently don't see His goodness in your life now?" The answer came almost instantly. Though in sight i see that my life is just so.... *sigh*... deep deep down, inside my Spirit, there's just this knowing, that God is there and He is good... I also dono how to say la... Inside me was just silently yet strongly convicting me that God is good...
Hmmm... really, certain things that happen in life, i do not understand, and will probably never ever will... For His ways are not my ways, nor are His thoughts mine... All i know, is that He has come to give me life, and His plans for me are good, to give me a hope and a future... I'm safe in His hands, and that's all that matters... I hang on..... tight...... in the Beloved.
Anyways, just wanna add, that i had such a blessed time with me nursery team pple... such a wonderful time of fellowship at Geri's house... Wah, so blessed... everyone could cook real well, and we had such a feast of food... and then, since all of us were girls, it was so cool... was really like a girl talk thingy... so kewl.... talked about anything and everything... hahaha... *tsktsk*
Once again i say, IT IS SUCH A BLESSING TO ASSEMBLE WITH HIS PPLE...Whoa... like amidst my terrible day yesterday (which i shan't go into), the fellowship really brightened my day... or evening so to speak haha... Praise God for everything He's doing in my life!
Oh, and YAAY!!! I got my money for camp!!! Praise God!!! Supernatural finances!!! Really really, when u tithe to Him, He multiplies unto u above all u ever ask or think! Praise God!
