trust once lost is hard to earn back :( its so sad.. but there's no point letting my past haunt me for any longer than it should be, and we're not living in the past, but for the future! we all make mistakes, and i seem to make lots of them..but i thank God for being there with me at all times, even when it feels so dark. I need to get a move on.
Lots of things to thank God for these past few days. Firstly, i lost my Bible for quite some time and how i found it was just a miracle! One night i was just sick of not having my Bible with me as it made everything seem so much harder, and it did feel really weird not reading from my normal Bible..so i prayed and asked God to somehow reveal or cause the Bible to just appear!(as i've heard from other people's testimony's) Then i went to sleep, then in my sleep i saw this vision/picture of my garage and God pointed out this specific area on top of the shoe rack to me, and something in me was just telling me that my Bible was there! though i had previously searched my whole room and garaged and had not been successful in finding it. So anyway, the next day i went to the spot to have a look, but the Bible was NOT there..instead it was some Word book store plastic bag which i had never seen before..but i knew in me that my bible was in there, so i opened it and went through the contents and at the end of the bag was my Bible! i was heaps shocked and surprised, but i thank God that He is good :)
Another thing on my: 'to thank God for' list is today's worship sessions. Though i know they weren't perfect or the best we've done, but still i'm glad that God really did help me and enable me to play to the best of my abilities (or so i have hoped). I was personally really blessed by being able to take part in both worship services as i really could feel God play through me and you wouldnt be able to experience this unless you were given the opportunity to!
Just one last thing that has been on my mind the past few days was an old bethel sermon which i heard maybe last year? its main topic was on love, but there was this one example that the pastor gave that really showed me one kind of extreme love which just made so much sense to me recently.. it was the whole story about if one of your friends falls in this quick sand and is sinking, a good friend would be one to jump in behind you and push you out of that pit no matter what. and hah! i just realised how crazy that sounds.. and also how seemingly impossible too.. considering situations and circumstances, for someone to do such thing really is against human nature. the only person that i would think really would do that in his right mind would be Jesus, which was what He already did for us. It's really easy to say with such conviction and confidence that you will be like that, or you will do that.. however when the time comes, i guess things don't usually turn out the way you expect them to be.. right now, are we ones that are able to push our friends out of whatever quick sand they are in? or are we the ones stuck in the quick sand that needs the pushing out?
