FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIM MORE AND MORE!!
helo. =D
im feelin hungrie even as i am typin out all diz chunks! haa. but i suddenly remember tt dae i had steamboat opp shaw.. goodness.
its realli v scarie when u overeat. haa! i had to vomite out some of e food in order to feel much beta when i got hm. o man. lets not mention abt tt.
haf been rather caught up w things recently.
din realise tt i miss sittin down njoyin everythin ard me so much until last nite. i was at e void deck under my block.
i njoyed every moment of sittin down. even not talkin at all. juz lookg at e trees n e things ard me. sounds abit... erm.. weird. haha.
but i guess all of us do get so busy at times to e extend that we r missin e beauty of e surroundings.
even there wasnt some beautiful flower blossoming. even there wasnt any rainbow in the sky. juz lookg at the carpark. e cars. e street lamps. juz e surrounding. wow. it was great!
i guess at times it is good to take a break n juz sit down n chill out.
finali mr seth is back w e guys yestie. yeay! im xcited to noe wat he got for me! *winks* haa. if u din noe.. one of my love language is receiving gifts! haa! =X
God is so awesome! He is so real in my life. i have nv experienced Him in such a way that everywhere i go, everythin tt i do, He is there to guide me.
i can sae tt diz is e greatest personal revival i've eva gone thru in my entire christian walk. i do feel tired.
when i look at myself, i feel so worn out. eva once, i felt so tired tt i stop everythin altogether. not tt i give up prayg or readg e word. but in my heart, i was juz draggin myself to carry on.
i thank God that He juz reminded me that He is alwaez faithful and He is e one whom i shld be drawin strength frm! liftin my eyes off Him aint a good idea at all! i realli thank Him for pullin my back to His will. God is reali so good.
i am once again strengthen to walk on. distractions may come but wat is more attractive den HIM, isn't it? tiredness may pull me down but wat is tiredness to HIM who is able to strengthen me? discouragements may hit me but which is greater? discouragements or HIM?
today, kel sent me an email. it is an extract frm the book [drawng near] by John Bevere. very interestg. i shall share it w all of u here.
Lord, Increase My HungerMany pray, “Lord, increase my hunger for you.” Yet this is not accurate. We are the ones who determine our hunger, not Him.
In America, we have an abundance of material possessions, entertainments, pleasure, and wealth. The only way we can create and maintain a hunger for God is to protect our soul by choosing what we fill it with.
Proverbs 27:7 states that, “A satisfied soul loathes the honey comb.” Simply put, if your soul is filled with cares, pleasures, the love of riches, or the desires of this world, you’ll be full and actually despise the sweet honeycomb of God’s fellowship.
Think of Thanksgiving Day. Many Americans gather together with family and friends to feast on this holiday.
Many skip breakfast to increase their capacity for food later. The feast begins; out comes a huge turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, pies, and so forth. We consume huge quantities because our appetite has been enlarged. After it’s over we groan because we ate too much. We’re full!
Then a couple of hours later we go to another family member’s home. The food comes out again in all its glory! This time the recipes are even more gourmet, but instead of longing for this excellent food we are repulsed and turn away.
We are still so full from the previous meal we take one look at the feast and know it is just not going to happen. It no longer matters that this meal might be far superior; we actually despise it.
This is what proverbs is conveying.
To take this truth a step further, we must realise it is proportional. If your soul is weighed down by the desires of this life, you might not despise the feast, but you might take it lightly.
If you are not stuffed, but just had a normal meal two hours earlier, and you’re presented with a feast, you won’t despise it; you might just nibble, or ignore it.
Often I’m offered meals at nice restaurants when I arrive in a city, but I’m not hungry because I ate a few hours earlier so I politely turn down the invitation.
The thought of eating doesn’t repulse me as described with the Thanksgiving scenario above, it just doesn’t appeal to me.
But the same offer made to someone who has gone hungry for a day or two will garner a totally different response. So the truth is, to the degree you’re filled with things of life determines your response to His call.
Too often people in churches are too indifferent in their desire for the things of God. Most do not despise His presence, but compared with the hungry man they are casual towards the feast before them.
After all, they ate from the table of the world a few hours ago and are satisfied. I’ve watched as they say they want Him, but their actions betray their words.
Are you like the man who hasn’t eaten in days, or the alcoholic who hasn’t had a drink, or the addict who needs his fix? This is the type of hunger we need to develop in order to press in.
