So many things had happened, but I am grateful that God's love is truly amazing which brings great restoration in my life during the First Svc at Suntec Convention Hall. Over the past few months was a turmoil and filled with bitterness. I start to hate myself and blame others for my hurt and rejection, I become a bitter gourd and sour grape. I even do things that ruin my 2 yr r/s. Sad I may be, angry I may feel, but that was a result when you fall out of love and let bitterness set in. I was reminded in the svc on sat where Pastor shared about "Love". At that moment, I was pondering and even doubting the notion, I was close up though I know God is all about love and building meaningful r/s.
As Pastor unfold the scripture and shared the word, those words hit me right into my faces, telling me not to doubt but keep on believing and hoping. I was challenged once again to feel love and experience the feeling once again. I was totally heartbroken when the worship song was being played. I felt the tangible presence of God surround me and healed me of all the sadness in me, the bitterness in me, the anger and hatred that arise over the past few months. It was as if all things had fall apart but God's word stand strong in my life at that instant moment of truth that set me free from the bondage.
The final word from pastor was to find the one who led you to Christ, and give the person a hug and thanks him/ her. But it happen that my CGL wasn't ard and those close CGL frens that I used to mingle with is also no ard. But God is truly good, he send me a long ago CG member to give me a slight nudge, yet the truly amazing one is that from the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar face which was the one that I was constantly reaching out during my CG days 2 yr ago. I quickly ran over to give him a hug and my heart was in a state of transformation and healing. God is truly good to me to remind me, my first love for Him, my partner, my frens, also the leaders that impacted my life.
I rmb after the svc, I really send out some msg to my loved one to thanks them for what they have done to me. Even to the one who I failed to keep up the promise, I also send msg to apologize. I was amazed at the peace that set in me after that. In fact, I even able to forgive s1 who I actually dun wish to talk to, and build the r/s again.
I really wan to thank God for the restoration, pastor for the sharing of the word.
I am now the newborn just like the very first time I am in love with God and the ppl ard me again. Without love, all thing become of no meaning, no sense,yet with love, all things become a wonderful display of Faith, Hope, Love!!!
1 Cor 13:7-8
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].
It is this powerful verse that keep me going. Hope this verse can enlighten you (those who read my post).
