Umbrella of my love for God
WAs just really pondering about how much God loves us... it's really a blessing to do so.. really stop and think.. it's pretty personal and Holy Spirit reveals much. I was actually slightly down after i started to clear off and leave for ORD. Guess why? Well, it's pretty much because i now had "new found strength" which i didn' t know where to put! Can i just say this: God really loves us a lot!! I'm amazed.. God knows what situation i am in. hahaha.. Today God told me that Jesus gave more than His life. He gave us His personality, ambition, character and yet so much more of Himself to make sure we get saved and that there would be a way for ALL of us to become like Him one day.
Then He asked me, "do you now know what it means to take up your cross?" well.. i understood it long ago but it was different today. He asked me to love Him with that new found strength! He told me not to run after certain things which in His own time HE will give me once my love for God becomes an "umbrella big enough" to shelter whatever I want. Why? because chances are I'll get lost and lose God if i begin to gain more. It's God's divine mathematics. You must obey God's 1st Commandment, "to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.", in order to receive what you desire assumming it already God's will.
For example, good grades. Sometimes you get it free of charge but if God wants to teach you an eternal lesson, what happens is that you must commit your studies to Him, your future and your grades knowing that He is in control. Once your worry is gone and you have genuinely learnt your lesson that God has taken care of your future, you will love Him even if your results are bad! You have no need to worry about your results but God loves to bless so undoubtledly He'll bless your persevernce and fervent love for Him ie good grades.
YUp.. I can't have a single part of the world without it belonging to God. I seriously wanted more. More ministry, more competitions , more academia work to callenge and hype up my own flesh. but i'll really lose sight of God's 1st commandment which is important to me. I need to build an umbrella of love for God so big until all these can be poured into my life in its time and yet i'll not be consumed by any of it but "when my world falls down, I'll be found in Him".
He will give. He gave His life He'll give what we need and want(according to His implanted godly desires)
I guess one verse sums it up: John 15:7 "if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask what you desire and it shall be done for you."[nkjv]
