Amazingly Amazed

Open yourself before you want others to open themselves to you.

Firstly, I really wanna thank God to slowly help me to overcome of my selfishness, doing what's I'm feeling good.

I have to admit, when I got chance to drive out. Going out with my sheep is never the first thought in my mind.

I believe God is helping me to change my heart because as I went out with my sheep last night, I was so filled so much with the JOY of the Lord compared to the time I went out with friends or "girlfriend".

This joy is indescribable.

I really had a great time with my sheep, opening up myself and letting him be himself.

We had a really fruitful time.

The most amazing thing I experience a close hand-in-hand working with the Holy Spirit. I'm sure what I've said was not from me. Another thing which amazed me again is I really thank God for bringing me through so much for past few months, I was a hurtful and eventful months for me and yet, God has a purpose for it!

I could actually know what's he's going through and with the help of Holy Spirit, I could help him!

Praise the LORD!

*Reflection*

I had been in church for quite sometimes, I shepherd people, I shared with people yet most of them I couldn't really find joy when I'm doing it.

Why?

Hmm..

I didn't let God handle my heart, I'm just doing it out of duty most of the time. I don't really care for them. Just do what I'm suppose to do.

1 Samuel 16:7

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

God knew my heart. I still thank God for His grace and mercy of bringing me through and annoying.

It's never too late to change!

A famous verse that were taught by my shepherd when I was in secondary but I just took lightly of it.

Now this is one of the verses that I hold on so dearly.

Jer 29:11-13

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

God never give up on me all these while.

Still in the process of getting myself back, I know I'm on the right track.

God's grace and mercy is really wonderful.

Thank You Jesus!

Cheers,
