Being a christian for 6 years, i must admit that i no longer feel the "first love" with God..Now it's a time to get back to the right relationship with God..Having intimacy relationship with God is a big challenge for me especially being a christian for some years..the passion for God might fade anytime..but God did not give up on me..thank you for his grace and mercy..
Recently I have difficulties trusting in Him...I always tell myself..when you dun hope for something, you will not get hurt from hoping for it..So i dun always hope for someone to do this and that cos i dun like disappointment cos i know man will disappoint..But God wun..but recap the scenario when i hope my dad accept christ last sunday when he attend church, we pray hard..but he didn't..I thought when we hope in the Lord, we can see miracle ??...Though i was abit upset but i know God has a prefect time..but when ? i dun noe...My trust "shaken" when my dad's illness did not get better..how will my dad think..will he trust God ?...God why not let my dad see the miracle? Actually,another reason for having doubt in God is due to my health ..same old problem occur and i start asking God why again? But the song "still" do remind me to be still and know he is God who will soar with me above the storm that i face..hope my dad knows..God says ."in all circumstance will you CHOOSE to TRUST in Me..and my Plans ?"..I tell God, I want but I can't..
So pastor say about this 40 days fast..meaning no TV, no game (no viwawa), and fast from a meal..to me..no game still ok..no TV (huh..) fast one meal (oh no..) hee..but i am trying to do all this with the right purpose..cos we have to be carefull not to fast for diet..fast b'cos pastor say so..but the reason behind fasting is because you WANT to be close to God..if not after 40 days we are still the same old person...
when you have a heart to walk close to God, 40 days is not a long days and hours fast for you cos you cannot wait for this opportunity to draw closer to God...When we are close to God, wehave no fear, no doubt, no emptyness..which till now i have yet overcome...
Here could like to share two songs
STILL - Hillsong
Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
Great is the Lord( thank God it took me sometime to find this lyric online..)
GREAT IS THE LORD AND MOST WORTHY
OF PRAISE
THE CITY OF OUR GOD,
THE HOLY PLACE
THE JOY OF THE WHOLE EARTH.
GREAT IS THE LORD WITH WHOM
WE HAVE THE VICTORY
HE AIDS US AGAINST THE ENEMY
WE BOW DOWN ON OUR KNEES.
AND LORD WE WANT TO
LIFT YOUR NAME UP HIGH
AND LORD WE WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE WORK YOU'VE
DONE IN OUR LIVES
AND LORD WE TRUST
IN YOUR UNFAILING LOVE
FOR YOU ALONE ARE GOD ETERNAL
THROUGHOUT EARTH
AND HEAVEN ABOVE.
