Oh, how much the Word comforts the soul

Tonight I read short passage on a devotional journal and was greatly comforted by the love of God. C. H. Spurgeon wrote, "Then go, plunge yourself in the Godhead's deepest sea. Be lost in his immensity; and you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated". How beautiful is that, I like it especially when he said "be lost in his immensity". God is indeed immense, but we often limit Him with our limited minds and sights and forget that He is actually IMMENSE. How wonderful will it be to be lost in God's immensity and be comforted by His immense love and tenderness.

In Matthew 11:29 Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls".

Our hearts at times are restless with the things happen in our lives and sometimes we do lose our hearts and do not live in peace. Peace to many people may be an impossible thing to experience because of the situations they are going through, however, in God, everything becomes possible. Jesus speaks of the way to find rest for our souls and that is to "take His yoke upon ourselves and learn from Him". In other words, no matter what situation we are facing in our lives, so long as we take God's yoke upon us and learn from Him, we will have peace and absolute comfort. Jesus died on the cross and all our sins, burden and pain had already been taken away. In order to make it a reality, we need to "go, and follow Jesus".

I have felt restless recently but now I am thankful to God that He is with me and speaking to me with this wonderful passage. God really has comforted me this week and I am in awe of Him, praise Him for His faithfulness, unconditional love and Jesus for being a bridge between us and God, so we may communicate directly with God. God's intimate love is just so direct and real, and I really do pray that many more people may experience the same thing, too. Hallelujah!

When I am weak,then I am strong

Today's message reminds me to acknowledge my weakness as a human being and recognize my need for my source, my provider and my ABBA FATHER. God doesn’t need us to be strong in ourselves, our abilities, or our know-how! Proverbs 3:5,6 exhorts us,  Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and  He will make your paths straight. Often times I thought I was capable to do things well without anyone's help. However, the fact is--there are so many things in life I can't control. There had been occasions I knew I could do nothing to change the situation. During those times I was again reminded that we humans are so weak and helpless without God. What can we do then? 1. We acknowledge our weaknesses. Let’s admit our limitations. Without Christ, we are weak — and not just a little weak — we’re totally helpless and hopeless. But believer, we are not without Christ! 2. We rely on His strength! We are able to s...

So stressed that I can hardly breathe

Lord, help me from my stress, and deliver me from my trouble. I am so stressed, so please comfort me with your love. Please allow me to trust you more during this time, strengthen my faith through this. My life is yours and do whatever you wish. Praise you still for who you are and for hearing my prayers.

Face my failure and not run away

I am very good at escaping from reality. When I receive a bad result for assignment or test, I put it away and deliberately ignore it and never really try to sit down and look over what I have done wrong. I am afraid of making mistakes and afraid of accepting negative feedbacks. However, I don't think this will help me to improve, and I will never correct the mistakes I did. My task this week is to be courageous in looking into my mistakes and be corrected and humbly learn my lesson.
