a beautiful passage
i am studying in the library now but for the past 2 hoursor so have been really restless and i can't seem to get much work done. well, at least i have completed what i wanted to do. i think the mortgages chapter took too much off my brain power. anyway, i was just thinking random thoughts and reminded of this verses my mum messaged me. there were also on Gerald's msn nickname. this is for all my friends who are weary, lost, waiting, and just in turmoil or not good state. Thank You Lord for revealiong Your mercy and everlasting truth!
I take this beautiful excerpt from Saint Paul's letter to the people in Philippi.
Philippians Chapter 4, verses 4-7:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
i think sometimes it is so very hard to quantify what it means that 'God's peace' will come upon us. it is just so ...IFFY it seems. what are we talking about when 'our hearts and minds will be guarded'? I can never explain it in words, at least not for now. But rest assured that i too have doubts on God occasionally and this 'peace' thing that we Christians talk about. Seems so flimsy and all.
However, when God comes upon you, you know at that moment, God is real. The feeling/phenomenon cannot be explained in English, nor any other language(i think). when it comes, you just know. i am a doubting Thomas, I AM. but God spoke AGAIN during worship last night at cell and i know that HE is real.
So for those friends, especially jaded christians, please dont give up your hope. continue seeking, and God will refresh and renew you. as for any of you who want to talk to me about my faith and why i believe etc etc, do feel free to call or sms or email or comment me or anything. i LOVE to discuss and talk about Christianity and what it entails. it is not a religion.
have a good day people!
