Love gives, hope sustains, faith takes;
-
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are king over the floods
I will be still and know you are God
(Still by Hillsong)
I cried while listening to this song it's so so so beautiful.
Call me emotional whatever but it's like when I'm listening to this I feel so.. loved.
Like all my problems don't matter anymore I'm loved by God that's all that matter.
With this renewed strength I believe I can tide over anything with my faith in Him (:
I realised how much of a disarray I am in.
I try so hard to make everything right, I was too focused on what I want, I miss out on the beauty of what the Lord has blessed me with, I missed out on His love and grace.
I fall at the slightest challenge and I had put my faith second in my priorities.
Today, I took a step back and saw what was planned for me. I saw how all the obstacles that were put in front of me were in fact stepping stones.
There were put there for me to overcome and take away valuable lessons from, not to make me fall and stumble.
I saw the big picture and the amazing road He put out for me.
Thank you Lord (:
This is my phone's wallpaper, nice right. Sometimes I just take out my phone and stare at the word on the screen. Faith. It's just a 5-lettered word but it pretty much represents my values and my beliefs. Without faith, there'll be no friendships. Without faith, there'll be no courage, adventures, uniqueness, etcetc. Without faith, there'd be no me.

Her post speaks my exact sentiments.
I fall easily, I'm not as strong willed as I thought I'd be. I give in to the slightest bit of temptations, I follow when the devil beckons. I'm a backslider, I don't even go to church often. (I'm probably also one of the most horrible Christians that you've seen.) But everytime after I pray, my heart and mind feel at peace. It's like the revelation that God will always be overlooking me, He'll always give me the love and protection that I need.

Without faith, there'll be no courage, adventures, uniqueness, etcetc. Without faith, there'd be no me. I told Bekah about how people question my beliefs, accusing me of only converting because I wanted to fit in. She said, "Heck what those people say la, people have said worse to insult me before. Just keep believing and God will show you the way." Something like that! And I was thinking, yea, screw those people who don't understand what's going on. God's not someone (okay God's not a person but idk what word to use) that I'm only falling back on when I need. God is someone I've chosen to put every and all of my faith in. So yup, here's to you: I don't care about what you said anymore :) I do what I want, and my God will show me the way.
