Last week's service was simply awesome. Probably because I've finished my work and there's nothing for me to stress over, but to enjoy myself and just soak myself in the presence of God. To prepare us for the new building, Pastor Kong talked to us about FIRST LOVE during service.. man, it was awesome! totally! i mean, there are so many times we feel so sick and tired of things, of time and people. We feel as though we cant love or devote ourselves for something.
But all we have to do, is to seek Him even deeper. Just like man, we want to build relationships with people around us, no one likes to be alone if they have a choice. Holy Spirit just wants us to be closer to Him, and He will reveal Himself to us. We'll be able to feel Him so easily! Holy Spirit is like the oil that keeps us going when we are down and weary, yet leaks so easily. When we leave Him one day, we feel as though we cant go on. It feels as though we're dying and will not do well, many times this is when we really don feel like going near as we are so so tired and just cant be bothered to do anything anymore. Yet its the most important thing to be hunger for Him, to be thirsty for Him and to be re-charged once again.
Cell group meeting was awesome too. i thought that since i've already missed my own cg meeting for so long, it'll feel weird to be back. but yet, the presence continued to hit me when i started to worship. Truly, wherever you are, as long as you want Him, He will be around. and the word was awesome too.
How planted am I? Got hit by a few things - Is your spiritual health a priority? Can i take the heat of the World? Am I easily uprooted when things happened?
And He came and touched my heart once again.. I almost got uprooted the past few months of work. almost wanted to give up keeping on what I've kept for years.. But, He is there. Always.
After cg meeting, we went down to JP for a surprise bday celebration for Luis! Luis came, together with Shihui.. its been awhile since we all see them.. it felt really nice to have these people around once again. spent some time talking.. and everything felt great. ^^
Anyways, maybe its God's plan. I came across Nick Vujicic's videos once again.. I've forgotten this name already, until i see His face again.. The man whom my mum was touched by and said the Sinner's Prayer. The man who touched me so deeply. His life story is so inspiring, so powerful. He talked about so many things, and what touched me most is that despite having no limbs since he was born, he got himself out of depression and did things that even normal people cant, that is to love unconditionally.
He will keep trying despite failing from time to time. he said that, if he falls, he would try again and again, even if its already a hundred times. because if he were to stop trying, he would never be up again. its the same for everyone. so much more things that cause me to tear not because i was touched, but its because of love.Presence of God was so strong when i was listening to him. really, truly a man of God(:
Its really a powerful week which such powerful message.
