Joanne Said: "..."

I was so much comforted by a lovely sister in Christ. So dearly God speak to me the truth. Indeed i need to re-examine my intention and my heart when i serve in His kingdom.

*sis, hope you don't mind that i quote all your msg into my blog. Want it to be part of my journey in Christ.*

I remember once a brother shared with me that God will not ask us of favors or return favors when we receiving the calling to serve, it us purely our love for God and the longing to spread the good news

God bless us irregardless of the amount of time we put in. He didn't set a minimum or maximum criteria but that doesnt mean we have the right to take for granted. but it also doesnt mean we have the right to expect good things or blessings in return.... even if something bad happens to u
despite all the things u have done in the name of the Lord, u mustn't think u that you're not doing right. Last 2 weeks, a christian family from muar met a fatal accident. 5 out of the 8 family members died. The wife and 2 children survive.

Reading that inspired me alot. Despite the sudden tragic things that happened, the wife didnt blame God or ask him why...

1 Corinthians 10:13
No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.

Recently i always tell myself that when i struggle in life, that is when God is speaking to me... if i refuse to listen n follow my gut feeling or emotion, that is when the evil spirit is ruling me. we often read abt following His footsteps and to have the Godly virtues. But keep confusing it with the materialistic things in life... and think that that is the way of Gods blessing. God can take something away from us and still bless us, make us suffer and still bless us.

"We are being conditioned to meet Him and our time on earth is only temp while our spirit for Him is eternal..."

Amen for all the points mentioned above. Thank God :)
