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!

Jesus lifehouse

I went to church today, and the name of the church is Jesus lifehouse. It's a Japanese and English bilingual church situated not too far from the heart of Tokyo. Thanks to Shermayne's friend- Kat, that I am able to find a church immediately after my arrival in Japan. Moreover, the church is not too far from my dormitory either, it only takes about half an hour to get there by train. In Japan, this is considered quite close. There are four services surprsingly, people get to choose the best time that suits them. The one I went was the 1pm service as was suggested by Kat. This is a pretty good time for me as well. The hall was smaller than I expected, but when I got there, the service had already started and was already filled with people. The music was quite loud though, people were singing, clapping and dancing around. Jesus lifehouse is probably a smaller version of Planetshakers in Melbourne, coincidentally that the English pastor is an Australian, too. Apparently he is from ...

God has not forgotten you

神未曾忘記過你  In the midst of hardship, it's so easy to be caught up in our circumstances. We may often wonder where God is and why doesn't He take away our pain? Genesis 39:2-3 2  The  Lord  was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.   3  When his master saw that the  Lord  was with him and that the  Lord  gave him success in everything he did. Though Joseph was wronged, faced unjust imprisonment, the Lord was always with Him. God's favour was on him even in the darkest times.  God was with Joseph all along, God will also be with you through the ups and downs of life. Do not be afraid, do not be dismayed, He will deliver you when the timing is right. Hang in there, pray always, submit your requests to Him and He will definitely come to your rescue. Will you choose to trust?
