Where else would I go???
"And (Jesus) said, 'Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.' From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you also want to go away?' But Simon Peter answered Him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (John 6:65-69, NKJV)
I chance upon the verse just now. I am super spiritually rejuvenated! Was listening to Deaconess Lian cd on "conscienceness of being God's beloved" yesterday. Whoo Hoo@ I feel like I was being teleported to some rural baliness spa. Haha. Which reminds me that I still have to finish up my last appointment with HAACH and my spa voucher that I receive from my mum. Gr... I feel this amazing, holy, almost euphoric sensation coming over me.
This world that I live is so full of choices. There are so many paths to choose from for our lives, so many voices of opinions about what is right or what is wrong. My experience with Christ teaches me that He is trustworthy and that He loves me no matter what. All of my other attempts at finding significance ended in frustration and disappointment; however, in Christ, my hearts find a daily renewal of rest and a sense of security that I didn't know before. When my journey with Christ gets tough I will face the temptation to return to my worldly life. This is when the world will seek to persuade us that we are wasting our time and should find a more fulfilling path. However, if we will honestly evaluate the situation and fairly compare where we were without Christ and where we are now, we will naturally draw the same conclusion that Peter did when he was faced with the choice to continue walking with Christ or turn away. "Where else would I go? Christ alone has the words of life and no one has ever loved me as He has."
I am so excited that I get to serve His children once again in the upcoming children's church camp. Whoo Hoo@ Will be back on Saturday night!
Heavenly Father,
I thank You for the gift of righteousness that You have imputed unto me. You loved me even before I knew You. And because of this great love that You have for me, I have the assurance that I will have the best. I mean seriously, even before I knew that You love me, You died for me, like how much MORE now, now... Wahahaha... I thank you that you have called me to live my singlehood days more pasionately than ever. Lord, sometimes I'm tempted to abandon following You and it is at these times that I pray You will remind me of the terrible emptiness and loneliness I had without You. When the cares of this life begin to fold in upon me, I pray that You will remind me of Your great love and the warm embrace of Your total acceptance. And because Your word says that my household shall be save, I shall not question the authority of Your word. I plead the blood of Jesus on the children, my family and also Sarah, that Your love will guard their hearts in these coming days. There is no heart that You are not willing to touch. Lord, I pray also that You will use me as a vessel to share You with someone who doesn't know You. MUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaach Love You Jesus cause where else would I go?
In my Jesus name I pray, Amen@
