sunday - 23/7/06

I find You in the secret place
I find You on the mountains
I find You in the early hours
Of my day
I find You when I'm waiting
I find You when I'm in Your Word
I find You when I'm talking
To You, when I pray
Create in me a new heart
As I come away with You
Wash away all of my stains
And restore to me the joy I have in You
You are my Hiding
You are my Hiding Place
You are my Hiding
You are my Hiding Place
This song, was the first thing that came to my mind the night of that incident. I just kept thinking, Jesus, Jesus, You are my Hiding Place. No matter where I am, or how I'm feeling, or what I'm going through. He's a sanctuary for me to hide in, to find comfort, peace and refreshment. I think that's a great God!
After my previous entry, two of my close friends came up and said exactly the same thing at different times: I'm so proud of you.
Belle, the one who brought me to CHC, said something that meant the world to me. She said she saw the change. She saw me becoming a stronger Christian everyday, at every service. Because now, I talk with a confidence and conviction of my Lord Jesus Christ!
Nothing is better, than being told that you are proud of..That your spiritual growth is fast, its good, and its getting better and better. I give Belle credit, because she didnt give up on asking me to go to CHC with her. She just kept asking. And when I came, I knew why she picked me. I knew that she was merely carrying out God's plan. I was looking for a church, and God brought me to it: one beyond my wildest expectations.
And because of that, I'm going to strive on too, to reach out to people I know God has put into my hands. I wont give up..For the cross is with me. God's rod and staff will comfort me when I'm down with failure. He will pull me back up, and He will give me power for a breakthrough. Everyone deserves a chance to experience that power, and to have that power. Cuz Jesus died for all, not just for a few who worship Him. He died for all. And those who arent saved yet, will be saved by those God had chosen.
I'm not saying CHC is the best church for everyone. I'm saying that right now, CHC is the best church for me. And I'm proud of it. Just like I'm proud of my Savior.
You may say I'm too onz..I say no such thing. Be a follower, be a true follower. Go all the way. Jesus is worth it.
