With God on my side I am invincible!
I actually had lots of things to say, but I forgot them all. I just have a general feeling of extreme thankfulness. For everything and everything. For all the miracles, big and small, that God has worked in my life the past few days. Actually we just have to open our eyes wider, and we will see that His work is all around us. I just feel so happy! I think understand what it means to want to sing for joy now haha.
I was feeling very spiritually dry not too long ago. I was wondering how I lost the feeling, because I had done nothing different. Silly me. Human beings are too much about feelings I think! Feelings and emotions come and go. The only constant throughout everything is God's great love. We might go through spiritual highs, and spiritual lows. But through it all we must remember this one great truth.
My mother once said that we were made to suffer. I didn't like how that sounded. It makes our lives sound so gloomy, like we are damned since birth for suffering. But maybe it is true after all. When Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, we were cursed with sin, and sin in this world brings suffering.
I like to look at it another way though. That, our lives on earth are a preparation for heaven. Going through all these trials and tribulations helps to develop our character and to weed out the weak in faith. What is the most encouraging is that whatever test God throws at us, he will provide us with enough strength to endure it, if only we rely on Him, and call on Him for help (:
Ah I think I should go to bed now! GOODNIGHT WORLD (:
This is a really beautiful song. I want the mp3! Does anyone have it!:
We will rise again by David Haas
Like a shepherd I will feed you
I will gather you with care
I will lead you and hold you
Close to my heart
We will run and not grow weary For our God will be our strength And we will fly like the eagle We will rise againI am strength to the weary
To the weak I am new life
Though the young may grow weary
I will be their hope
Lift up your eyes
And see who made the stars
I lead you, and I know you
I call you each by name
