Today was in Popular waiting for my mum, and i saw this book, "five love languages of God", so i decided to pick it up to read it. here is the first page of it.
Susan was my first appointment of the day, and i felt like crying when i heard her story. Her father had committed suicide when she was 13. Her brother was killed in vietnam. Six months ago, her husband left her for another woman. She and her two small children now lived with her mother. I felt like crying... But susan wasn't crying. In fact, she was vibrant, almost radiant.
Assuming she was in denial of her grief, i said, "You must feel very rejected by your husband.''
"I did at first, but i've come to realize that my husband is not running from me. He is running from himself. He is a very unhappy man. I think he thought that our marriage would make him happy, but you and i know that only God can make a person truly happy.''
Thinking that perhaps susan was trying to spiritualize her pain, i said, ''you have been through alot in your life: your father's death, your brother's death, your husband's departure. How can you be so strong in your faith?''
''for one reason,'' she said. "I know that God loves me, so no matter what, He is always there for me.''
why i wanted to post this up was because this is almost what my life is like. throughout these few years of my walk with God, it wasnt easy. facing persecution from your closest friends relatives and even your own parents. But what really pushes me on is that everytime persecution comes, i can always feel God standing beside me, reassuring me, that He is always there for me. and its true. God has always been there for me, and i could always feel his presence within my heart. just 2 days ago, i felt his presence when everything seemed so lost and hopeless. i know i am never alone, because i know i have JESUS in me.
yesterday, during QT, i realized that the phrase "all for You" is such a powerful phrase. people have dedicated their lives to the ministry, leaders, pastors and people like us. all
from dictionary.com the meaning of all
every: all kinds; all sorts
nothing but; only
all means all! there is no other meaning. when we say all for You, it means surrendering all to Him. your life, your finances, your girlfriend, your family, things that you hold close to. everything!!!
yeah. God told me many many things. things that i will hold close to my heart till my deathbed. :)
