Revelations

Just last night I had a stroll with Joe (thanks Joe for being ever so willing to walk with me and share about so many things with me, especially about the Word). As I have stated earlier in my previous post I tried not to think too much, there were a lot of things that troubled my mind as I think about them, because the decision that will affect me is from God who will ensure that somebody will execute the decision.

Fair enough, I have been thinking too much and I had really wanted to just let it out (but no, I still didn't let out the "dark" secret of mine). We had a long talk and it was rather a revealing one.

The following things are what we discussed and what he has told me:

1. God is always there in good and bad times.
2. Whenever you are in trouble, God is always there for you to seek.
3. He has a promise that He will never break; ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door opens.
4. Seek His face, not only His hands.
5. His grace is enough for you.
6. Everybody is blessed in their own ways.
7. If there are things you worry that are not in your control, surrender it to God, who will decide for you and solve your problems. Let Him lead you.
8. God never promised us that life is a bed of roses, but He did say that He will always be there, no matter what (thanks Tan-Loh Joash!)

With that, my mind is now at peace and that I really have faith that He will decide all for me, my path and all. I am assured that my prayers are answered and that He will continue to speak to me through His unique ways.

I cannot expect my life to be so smooth-sailing all the way. It's important that we emulate Job, who went through much suffering without cursing God (thanks Aaron Lai!), who in return rewarded him even more than he first had.

With that, I can now rest.
