A blessed weekend
Sy Rogers was here over the weekend.
He is an excellent communication and a greater minister of God's grace/mercy and love.
His main message on Saturday was: God is bigger than all the challenges in life!
He illustrated that through his personal life's testimony of what God has done for him and through him.
It is just amazing...!
Who could have thought that someone with his past could get to where he is today?
But God did it!!!
It just confirms the fact that nothing is ever too hard for the Lord!
Praise the Lord that I serve a God who is bigger than any circumstances or situations! :)
He encouraged us to build our own memorial pile of the events that God has proved Himself true to us.
Y? Cos humans tend to be forgetful. They tend to forget about the good things once bad things come by. Haha!
These memorial stones can remind us of God's faithfulness, His character and His love...
"Life can only be understood backwards, but can only be lived forward."
How true this is!
Many times, we just do not understand why certain things happen... They do not really make sense to us. But as we trust in God's character and walk on with him, one day as we look back, we will sometimes discover why those things were allowed to happen to us. Sometimes, we will never understand. But perhaps when we get to heaven, we will find out. :)
Anyway, at the end of the service, Sy Rogers gave an altar call for those who feel that they need help/breakthrough, etc.
He told us to stand up. I did not stand up immediately... Haha, cos was rather paiseh about it. But i eventually did. He also asked us to go down to the front for us to be prayed for. This lady prayed for me. She asked God to heal my broken heart, to fill my heart, etc. She prayed something like "Don't let her heart be broken again." I don't remember the exact words and I wished that she continued to pray cos I really wanted to know what does God want to tell me. But that was it. But that prayer was comforting to me, cos somehow it told me that God knows it all. My pain matter to God. And when it matters to Him, I know I am heard and it is just comforting to know that.
And I pray for myself, "God, please protect my fragile heart with all that You are! Keep my heart pure for You. Let my heart follow You. Help me in all my weaknesses. Allow me to triumph as I keep on walking with You. Bring me to a land of milk and honey. Fill me with Your dreams and visions. Allow me to see my purpose here on earth. Give me a breakthrough that I've been yearning for. Let me be someone who can glorify Your name with who I am and what I do. Be my Lord!"
This afternoon, I went to CPC again. I realised that one of my dear members (SK) is not there. I wondered what happened to him. Sadly, I found out that he was also transferred to another unit like many others. Found it quite a pity as I did not get to say bye to him. Another of my member (K) was saddened by his transfer too. They were close friends and always encouraged each other. K said he did not understand why. Cos he chose to stay in this unit partly because of this friend (SK) but now he has left and he had to stay. As mentioned earlier, sometimes we just don't understand why things happen. But we can trust that God is good and he doesn't play with our lives. May God bring comfort to K's heart during this time of transition. This touches my heart to see a tight friendship between the 2 of them. Indeed they are building real friendships in the midst of the world where trusting relationships can be hard to find.
I also found out that K scored 5 A1s for his "N" Levels. This is such a great piece of news but he didn't share it with me cos he said it is a small thing... Alamak! Small thing meh? But wow, I'm so proud of him for such good results! K: You did very very well! Well done!!! =)
You and I matter to God!
Hang in there, you are of great value to God! =)
Haha, too bad I don't get to blog very often. But twice a month is still not bad right?
Thanks to friends who sent me smses to encourage me! Thanks for loving me! May God bless you guys lots and lots! :)
