A wakeup call?
''Then if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.'' 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NLT)
1st time: LTS memory verse
2nd time: During morning devotion in school
3rd time: In a book (Touching the heart of God)
4th time: Pasted on the walls of my eldest sis' house
somehow this verse appeared to me 4 times within 2 weeks, just when i was getting arrogant in front of others. well, i can only say that God really knows all our thoughts and there's nothing we can hide from Him.
this sat i played soccer as usual. for the first half of the game, i wanted to do things my own way. to be the goalkeeper thinking that i can save shots by my own strength. of course, i conceded numerous goals. as the game proceeded, i decided to commit the game into the hands of God. surprisingly, i saved almost all the shots that were taken against me. i don't know whether it was right for me to challenge God, but after this i have confirmed this doubt in me, that God is the one who gave me all the abilities that i have today, and through Him nothing is impossible.

Hey brother, just wanna say that I'm encouraged by your growing faith. I think I said this some time ago, but just wanna encourage you and let you know that you are on the right track with God! Continue working out your salvation in fear and trembling (Phil 2:12) Knowing that He is the all-knowing and all-powerful God that we worship. Yea? Cheers. :)
yea its true hehe. eveything is possible with God <=> nothing is possible without Him. works both ways :)
that's right! God has always been there for me all this while. there's a difference when i let Him have control over the game and when i don't. i could sense it. it's just hard to explain.
yuppie! :)
