It has really been a while since ive posted and I admit my relationship with God during that period wasnt really at it's best.
very inconsistent QT and hardly even thinking abt God each day. and this really affected the way i handled things. everything became so... self-centred and self-motivated.
Whenever i saw people posting long paragraphs about God on their blogs and stuff i would judge them and feel very uncomfortable. i would think "why're they 'showing off' the strength of their faith?"
but was it really that? or was i just jealous of the relationship they have with God? Looking back, i think it was the latter.
People who read these posts, they started to have a renewed passion and hunger for God. I mean this is so so SO awesome beyond awesome and how God use them is just sooo beautiful. How could i even be jealous? Before i knew it, i caught the bug as well. i began to hunger to God, for the relationship we once had. When we were close, when i depended on Him and rested in His embrace.
Then it came to me that i shouldnt limit God's power and the way He works to only what ive witnessed and experienced. God can work in me and i can experience Him through sooo maaannyyy different ways. With this, i felt at peace. At peace that God will always be here for me no matter how far i drift away from Him.
GOD IS LOOVVEEE <3
So im gonna post daily, or at least try to what ive learnt from QT. never know when it may speak to someone.
Today's devo was on healing and restoration. sometimes we rather live in our hurt because we are used to it.
but God wants to restore us as it says in Psalm 147:3'He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds'
sometimes it requires us to give up something or step outside our comfort zone.
God has something better in store for us. are we ready?

Rev Poh said something during sermon today that struck me.
He said "Doubts in God's faith cannot be solved my intellectual thinking but only by faith in God." and that "some questions cannot be answered here on earth"
If you know me, you might know that i always have a lot of random questions about God and the bible. like... "why do we fear God? what does that mean?" and "why do demons worship God?" and stuff. Sometimes these questions would really bother me and i'd really go around asking everybody but what about God? i did try asking Him through prayer and hm... i dont know. Sometimes my questions go unanswered, maybe i just have to wait or maybe this is something that He doesnt want me to know. God will always be a holy mystery. There's just noo wayyy be can know everything about Him. It'll be far too much for us to comprehend.
No matter what, im rest assured that God will reveal to me what He wants me to know at Him own perfect timing. (:
I also learnt during sermon to secure my identity in God.
I have to always remember who i am in the eyes of the Lord and see myself the same way. I am His child, His partner and His precious lamb. (: This will soo get me through my emo times.
