// feeling :: uplifted
// prayer for :: A to understand God

I started this entry basically because I wanna thank Mike for once again reinforcing my faith in Christ.

In his blog, he said that the verse 1 Peter 10:12-13 would do me good. Here's the verse: Beloved, do not find it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

At first I totally didnt understand. Then I asked Mike to explain it to me. I understood totally after that.

I confided in him a lot just now. In just a few minutes, he erased all my doubts. Can become my helpline whenever I have a spiritual crisis. 100% guarantee to satisfy..

I asked him a lot about A. I was totally troubled by him.. Really wanting to help him but at the same time clueless of where to start and how to start. He explained why A is acting like that, and how I can start helping him. A, God is waiting for you to come home, so that He can bless you in abundance. But that is if you are willing to accept Him.

When I'm right with God, the whole world will fall into place. I used to talk to God until I fall asleep, and wake up uneasy and guilty the next morning. I used to think that it was wrong and rude to God, but when I told Mike this, he said that God isnt that kind to get mad over these things. He gave the analogy of a child lying on the lap of his father..that as the father listens to his child talking, he doesnt mind if the child falls asleep. Cuz he wants us to rest. Same with God. He wants us to find rest in Him..Just like a loving father.

I understood God a whole lot better thanks to Mike. It helped me grow a lot closer to Him. I do love Him very much..

Again, thanks to all everyone who have spurred me on spiritually in so many ways..Belle, Mike, Lamb, Joel, Aaron, my parents..I thank God for u all.


And the only time I ever saw Him run, was when He ran to me; He took me in His arms, held my head to His chest and said, "My son's come home again". Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes. With forgiveness in His voice, "Son, do you know I still love you?"

He ran to me. Then I ran to Him.
