Thanks Be to God

after alot of thinking yesterday and posting on my blog.. i have been thinking..

actually i dun really hate the guy… i’m not angry and i’m not sad.

i`m actually worried for him.. coz well i guess no matter what he was trying to do .. (rob me, kill me, steal, rape or even if it was just coz he was drunk and fooling around on the road), the fact is the poor guy hit a car.. (well my baby *frruuuuu*) but…. still he hit a car and i guess it is not very healthy (although he managed to still run away) and as i was thinking about it God has been prodding on my heart and saying that well in the end, just forgive move on and pray for the guy coz well no matter what you are safe.

I just want to say here to the guy that i forgive you and if i do see you in the ortho ward on Monday i most likely wont break your leg again but.. well i just hope that you realise that what you have done is quite dangerous. I escaped because i was protected by a big tin can … but you were not … if you died well i guess that will be the end of that and no more. Your friend that was with you cant help  you if you die because of your recklessness. in the end we have a choice. please dont waste your life away. I hold no grudges against you at all. You took my good night away for one day but well the sun rises again and God’s mercies are new every morning.

Finally I would like to acknowledge that I know that God’s protection was on me because it could have been much worse (trust me ~ I know). When i got out of my wreckage instantly i felt at peace (in su wens words Zen) lol and i didnt worry or feel upset very much aside from thinking of the $$ and my stupidity

To all those people who read my blog i just want to remind you that we are in a war here so lets not let our guard down. God reminded me of a verse found in 1st peter 5

1 Peter 5:8 “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

The enemy prowls like a roaring lion waiting. We have been praying for revival in our church. He is waiting for the right time to destroy us one by one right now so that we dont see revival come to pass and we have a choice whether to give in or not. We have to be alert and Self-Controlled dont give in to the enemy. rememeber that the enemy has been defeated. Jesus Conqured the grave and He is the name above all names.

The passage goes on to say in

1 Peter 5:9 “Resist him [the enemy], standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”

1. Resist him (the enemy) – we do this by prayer and by having Gods protection and amour. So people please put on the full armour of God. The enemy will not sit back while we come to a point of break through when the church is going back to God.
2. Stand firm – we do this by reading the word of God and by praying. Because only God can give us the power to stand firm completely. We make a choice to go back to Him and to follow His word in the darkest of situations and even in the small trivial things.

Finally, this portion ends by saying in

1st Peter 5 : 10-11 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

In the end, God is a God of Grace and through our suffering He will reshape us and remould us and make us strong. Through our brokenness comes healing and in our weakness He gives us strength. It is though all the sufferings and all the trials (anything bad that comes) that He uses to make us into stronger Christians that are more and I believe it is in this way that we are shaped into the individual person God wants us to be. In the end, He deserves all the Glory and He holds all the power in His hands. Even wind and sea obey Him (matthew 8:27).

I guess the point of all this is that no matter what happened, I will rejoice in the situation and I will give thanks for He has spared me to live to see another day. He restoreth my soul and i am truly bless and humbled by His Grace. My favourite verse to quote to people and to myself would be this

Found in

Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

with this i rest secure that God’s plans and thoughts are higher than mine.

So thanks be to God who causes us to triumph in His name.
Because we have overcome
Hallelujah Hallelujah
