我一直以为如果没有那么喜欢的话，的分手会是一种解脱；可是到分开了才发现，只要是认真经营过的感情，放手了还是会难过的。这种难过不是撕心裂肺的痛，而是你慢慢发现那个你曾经那么依赖的人突然不见了，没有人和你一起分享生活的喜怒哀乐了。和父母说了怕他们会难过，会唠叨；和朋友也觉得疏远了许多。

When King Hezekiah became deathly ill, he turned to the Lord and wept bitterly. The Lord heard his cry and sent a word through prophet Isaiah. ‘This is what the LORD says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you.” 2 Kings 20:5 There is an aspect of our lives that God sees- the tears we have cried. Perhaps you’ve been shedding tears of grief, hopelessness and despondency. But the Lord will come, in His own gentle way, to lift you up and restore you. Weeping may last for the night, but He brings joy in the morning. PRAYER: Lord, You know the tears I have cried and the burdens I have carried. I know that You will come and bring healing and restoration to every area over which I have been so concerned. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Because He is able.

Justice and Mercy are the Lord’s

Through the recent car accident I am learning that our memories can be very deceiving. Though we can be honest to our feelings and memories, our piece of recollection doesn’t complete the story. The Lord is the one who sees the whole story. Therefore, let the Lord decide what is just and let the Lord decide to give and withhold mercy because He is the creator and owner of our lives.

Lord, I am not without blame, and I do not know the whole story. Either way it’s your right to give and take away; so I will wait on you. Lord, give me peace in my heart to trust you completely, and obey you fully. Give me integrity to honor you in my decisions. Let your glory be known through every situation. In the name of Christ your Son I pray, Amen.

Stewardship

Lord, I now understand that you have made me a steward of all you have granted me - not an owner, but a steward. I must not make decisions as if I am the owner and CEO of my finances, my career, my family and romantic life, but consult the owner of these things. I must not even give if you command me to hold back - you know better.

Thank you for speaking to me through Rees Howells’ testimony.

When he shares his vision of Christ-live hospitality

Dreams of having an open home

Welcoming, loving strangers and friends alike

Totally aligning with my picture of “The House of the Lord”

Ahh, Jesus - I’m peeking into your plans ;)

Lord, make us your powerhouse.

Loving the Stranger

“The truth is, you can’t love a stranger without becoming a little strange.”

Obedience is better than sacrifice.

At some point I thought to myself - he’d be a lucky guys if he gets to date me!

The fact is - I am just as undeserving of him as he is undeserving of me - because we are both so indebted to God for His grace, and often times I just feel too good about myself to see that.

Thanks for the reminder Abba~

Stop turning to meaningless scrolling of windows of clothing to escape duties you lost motivation to fulfill - they won’t fulfill you

Stop trying so hard to be your ex’s friend

Stop escaping from the peaceful voice of the Lord your Father

Stop moving

Rest.

3/18/19 - Baby Steps

Sat in the conference room and had lunch with my co-worker today, which seems like such a menial thing but such a joy to celebrate on this tired Monday! Everyone is caught up in their own busi-ness here and almost everyone works/eats through lunch. I had been praying for a long time for courage to change that culture and for opportunities to intentionally invest. “Can I join you for lunch today?” I was slightly surprised at how smoothly these words slipped out of my lips yet before this, I had walked by my coworker so many times just repeating it in my head silently.

Father, thank you for this joy. Continue to show me your purpose for me in the workplace from here on. Thank you, thank you, thank you and I trust you. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

If you feel far from God today – He’s okay with that. You can draw near Him and tell Him, “I feel far. I don’t believe. It’s not like it was.“ Jesus welcomes your doubts, confusion, frustrations, and questions. He invites you in any and every condition.

If you’re mad at God today – He’s okay with that. He made those emotions. They have a purpose as much as you do. You can vent to Him. He can handle it. He doesn’t want you to pretend. He hears when no one else does.

If you’ve messed up today – He’s still rooting for you. He still wants to work on this with you. He will receive you the very second after you mess it up. Your moment of defeat matters less than the moment right after. He has grace to pick you up, to dust you off, to keep you moving. Choose grace.

If it’s all upside-down and life has been unfair – He grieves with you too. He is just as mad about it as you are. He will not lecture you or moralize your pain. In the depths, He is deeper still. When you cry out, so does He.

If you don’t like yourself today – God loved you before you stepped into the room. God pre-approved of you before you did a single thing. His heart does not rest on your talents or looks or wealth or abilities. He is truly unconditional. He paid all conditions.

If you’re not sure that God loves you today – See the cross. See the resurrection. See Jesus. All our fears, worries, hurts, and injustice are answered there. He is the cosmic author over darkness and despair. He has punched a hole in the pages of the sky and written Himself into our story, to be our glory. His feet touched the dirt of the earth; He is alongside you, every step, every fall. He is love amidst uncertainty, He is enough when we are not. He is good when nothing is. He is infinite, over all, surrounding us, yet He is as close as your heart. — J.S.

Stay passionate, friends. We need you.

Delight: Whatever it takes, Lord, give me delight in you as the greatest treasure of my heart. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21) Desires: Whatever it takes, Lord, align the desires of my heart with yours. “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9–10) Dependence: Whatever it takes, Lord, increase my awareness of my dependence on you in everything so that I will live continually by faith. “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Discernment: Whatever it takes, Lord, teach me to discern good from evil through the rigorous exercise of constant practice. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:14) Desperation: Whatever it takes, Lord, keep me desperate for you because I tend to wander when I stop feeling my need for you. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. (Psalm 119:67) Discipline: Whatever it takes, Lord, discipline me for my good so that I may share your holiness and bear the peaceful fruit of righteousness. He disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:10–11) Diligence: Whatever it takes, Lord, increase my resolve to do your will with all diligence. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15–16)
