Aahh Sunday! Had a great day at church! Had a fun time at children's church worship with three kids!(increase from last week's 2!), which was followed by good sermon from Ps Chris. Then at Bilingual service, i had a really really fun time playing drums for the worship, i was given the great opportunity to play with aaron on guitar and su and piano, and they were sooo good!(both very talented and anointed!) With an awesome worship leader: Henry! It was a real blast on stage just worshipping God, and it was literally like a party! Its a great feeling to be able to usher the presence of God into the place with worship, and to just linger and stay in His presence. After dinner, we had a short time of worship/prayer, then we watched a hillsong conference dvd on worship leading by Marcos Witt, and it was a great sermon! It was a really full on sharing Bible-based with just soo much meat! One of the amazing things was that he shared from a passage from Revelations, and he interpreted it really well!
Anyway just one of the things that just really stuck in my mind the whole day was something from Ps Chris sermon in the morning. He was preaching about how the devil uses those that are close to really attack us and hurt us. Then he asked us to ask ourselves this question: Am I being used by the devil to attack those close to me? As i was asking myself this question, a lot of things just went through my mind. Firstly, i never ever want to be the person that hurts anyone that is close to me, especially the ones i love. It hurts me more to see them hurt and if it were possible, i would rather take that hurt on myself. I don't really care if i feel hurt or anything, since i'm sorta used to it haha..(i think/hope) But to let the people who are close to me feel hurt, or even worse if i was the one who hurt them, would just kill me. Especially when you're hurt by someone who you really care for and love, when they betray you and hurt you, the wound goes really deep and it would take a lot of effort for it to be completely healed. So i thought to myself that i would never want to hurt those who care for me and love me, because i know that it would really hurt them very much(which i've also experienced it quite a bit), and that thought alone just causes my heart to ache.. Secondly, the thought of how much God loves us, and how close and dear He holds each and everyone of us close to Him, just makes me feel so sad whenever i imagine the pain that He'll feel whenever we hurt Him by sinning and going against His word. God must have gotten one huge wound already from just me alone, thinking about all the times when i disappointed Him, and disobeyed Him.. Yet He still loves me and cares for me. His love is unfathomable, amazing, and so divine.
If love suffers long, then i'd rather be the one suffering instead of the other person..
Day 51.
Leviticus 19-22. Another list of laws, commands, instructions, and conducts that the Israelites have to follow by. With the punishment of disobeying them resulting in death most of the times. But all these were part of God's preparation plan to prepare the Israelites for the promise land that He will be giving to them. Imagine if all the laws and rules were not made, i could just see Israel being one big mess, and the fear of God wouldn't be evident at all.
