. . . i must confess i'm dissatisfied with my relationship with Father. i hunger for reality, to truly know Him much more than inteaction with a book & superficial exchanges with others inside the four walls of a religious insitutional building.
look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^
(that is, brightly reflecting a glory not my own, simply faithfully reflecting His glorious light to all =)
-- i'm not an awfully faithfully bright reflector tho :"(
precious brothers & sisters, do rejoice with me!!
i'm ever thankful to Father for putting you into my life :D
definitely not an easy journey but ever exciting =) sorry if this mail doesn't really 'fill you in' on what's been going on in his precious life He's given me, if you want to know more just ask~! my life's an open book ;)
crazy i know, but i'm still feeling unusually tired because of continual rubbish sleep at nights [overactive mind??!] :O-- oh well, it sure keeps me humble! :P
still, precious brothers & sisters, do rejoice with me!!
:D rejoice with me~! :D
:D He's answering my prayers & leading me deeper into His love!
:D He's committed to freeing me from the tyranny of self, for only then can i enjoy God's resources and discover just how generous He really is!
:D He wants to lead me and help me trust Him even through the most brutal circumstances.
:D Because Father takes such incredible care of us, we no longer have to live self-focused lives. Thus it will be easier for us to see ways God wants us to help others! :D There is nothing so terrible that He cannot work into his plan for our lives.
:D If He doesn't give me something i want, it's because I really don't need it!
:D God does not live in our imagined futures!
:D _lavishing_ me me with the liberating joy of losing "good things " in life so i can get God's BEST!
*PRAY*
* wisdom to take care of myself (my worst subject in life!!) - to know my limits and not take on too much >_<
* help me delegate where i can & not be stupid by trying to take on everything myself!
* i'd learn to feast on Jesus as Life itself, to truly know the reality that our hearts desperately long for.
* i'd stop wasting energy being frustrated over past events or worried about future ones and use energy to draw near to Him and learn to listen to his heartbeat instead!
* i'd abandon my "right" to decide what is good or not good for myself.
* i'd die to the right to judge anything on my terms and learn to live out of my relationship to Father.
* i'd learn to simply be thankful in everything including the storms that rage in my own mind and watch in awe as He uses them as opportunities to teach me to walk on water.
As long as we live to our own agenda, even what we think God might desire for us, we will miss out on the very life he is giving to us.
I find my prayers changing from “God, change this!” to “Father, how are you working in this for your glory?”
* When we die to the right to determine good and evil for ourselves we find the freedom to feast on the tree of Life. No longer growing frustrated when our comfort zones burst, we are free to see His purpose unfold and not be bogged down by our agenda. Now we are free to live in His life, not be plagued by our own agenda.
* i'd not determine what good i want or what evil i must prevent in the future & so be prevented from manipulating everything and everyone around me!
* the power of his cross would Free me to Live In the Moment!
* i'd be increasingly skeptical of my own agenda and preferences. Instead of wasting all your efforts trying to sculpt my life the way i want it, i’ll find the joy of living in the middle of His purpose working out in me. i’ll be able to embrace Him and His work in me as easily in times of trouble as in times of ease. And by standing in his unfolding purpose i’ll know the truest joy of being His son in the world!
* i'd start everyday without my own preferences for how I want things to turn out, to be constantly amazed at what God is doing in my life and genuinely thankful at every turn!
* Everyday Father lets me taste of His generous love, He'd show me how He wants to channel His generosity through me to touch others!
* prayers for quality sleep at nights would be great - that my mind would lie down to rest as my body does!
AN OPEN INVITE TO ALL: if you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life! where do you see faults in my life / character? What areas would you like to see me grow & change by God’s grace?” -- all part of me obeying 1 Tim 4:16 which is too easy to neglect with such dire consequences!!
thanks~!! please tell me how i can best support you before His throne of Grace too!
if Father so leads you to be my regular prayer supporter, do check out this prayer blog every now & then :)
Looking forward to hearing from you how i can best support you in prayer & praises!!
look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^
