*yawns* another long and tiring day, but it was great fun! Didn't get any sleep at all last night, because i was getting weird dreams after dreams after dreams..like a never ending supply of dreams..but i don't think they were from God, since i couldn't remember any of them the moment i woke up. Tonight at the worship/prayer session i found it really good, i personally had like a casual friendly 'chat' with God, which i never had before. Whenever i talk with Him its always through prayer, but this time it started off more like "Hi God." Then from there it was a chat between two buddies/friends sort of thing. Then God pointed out 2 Chronicles 7:14 to me(which anne later on read out as well), and He highlighted "and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven.." to me. God then went on and pointed out some of the 'wicked ways' that were still in my life or other sins that i still haven't completely gotten rid off eg. laziness, fears, and other stuff.. But i felt so refreshed and renewed after chatting with God, its like i received strength and confidence for the following week and for my upcoming exams! Praise God!
Okk, didn't manage to do morning devotion today, which was bad :( woke up at 9.10 and had to go to church early to prepare Children's church slides..but i'll definitely do it tomorrow. So anyway i read Romans 5:6-11.
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Good old passage on Christ dying for us ungodly sinners, on how His love for us was so great that He went through all that pain and suffering just so that we could have life. Hmm still remember the time where i had a mini revelation about Jesus' love for us, and how He even gave his life on that cross, that really hurt me..but thinking about how it only was just a mini revelation, and i still haven't gotten the full picture yet, really awestruck at just how deep the Father's love for us really is. Many times, we are told to visualize and imagine ourselves at the foot of the cross, i didn't use to get the point of that, but after the revelation, i think of all the love Jesus had for us and all the pain he must have gone through just for us. Really hurts to see so many of us still hurt the Father whenever we go against Him and sin, to think that He's done so much for us, yet we're still so ungrateful.. Anyway its great to know that we've been justified by the blood of Jesus, and that we are also reconciled to God through Jesus' death, His Son. What more can we ask? There's no greater blessing then having life in God, with God.
In you awesome glory, in your awesome power, that is where i want to be, on my knees to worship you..
