ON THIS DAY, GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT...

...that decision is only a wishful thinking until you take that first irreversible step. You can tell yourself that you have already decided, that nothing now can stop you, but if that step backwards is so much safer than that step forward, what will hold you true to your path when the going gets tough? Sometimes the right thing to do is to take that first irreversible step, the one after which you cannot go back. And now, for you, is one of those times.

I got this from that application in facebook called, "On this day, God wants you to know..."

It cheered me up a bit because given the fact that I seldom believe these sort of "fortune cookie" gig, the message hits the spot. It's exactly what I needed to hear...

...God is awesome. His timing is ALWAYS perfect. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

TRUST in the Lord with all your heart,
LEAN NOT on your own understanding
in all your ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him,
and He will direct your path.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

(yes, Lord... T_T)

***

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river,

and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green,

and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.

The heart is deceitful of above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways,

according to the fruit of his doings."

--Jeremiah 17:7-10

Dear God,

Whenever I am down and no one seems to be around, You are always near.

I cannot fathom the greatness of Your love, nor the vast understanding that You have

of the ways of men... of the ways of MORTAL men...

Lord You created the heavens, the earth, the complexity of the universe, and the intricate parts and pieces of the human body. You placed everything in accordance to how You want it to be, and it works perfectly the way You intended it to work... ALL the works of Your hands are marvelous and just SOOO amazing! Lord You know every heart, every thought, every desire, every secret, every deed, EVERYTHING! You know me... the depths of my heart You have searched, and the faults of my life does not escape from Your eyes... I am but dust. I am but mud. I am but clay. I am but nothing more than... nothing...

...and yet, Lord, You love me the same!

I need not know. I am tired of asking why. But please, just let me comprehend this much: confirm to me Your will, Lord... and lead me to desire to obey and no longer rebel.

itrustYou.

help my unbelief.
