GOD SPEAKS; GOD MOVES; GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS OUR THOUGHTS;
In the morning when we were practising the gifts of the Holy Spirit, pastor blindfolded two of the students and made them give a word of wisdom/ knowledge about the person standing in front of them.
At the beginning, I was rather vexed.. Much as I want to believe it is real, I couldn't get past myself: I wanted to know this wasn't tautology - the very thing I've always been against (eg. Daily Horoscopes).
(God heard my thought...)
Soon after, pastor got the blindfolded students to go deeper, and started revealing deeper truths about the man standing in front of him. For example, his background and his current situation. In fact, both of them even managed to identify who the student was! (the chances? 1 out of 500)
When that happened, I was thankful to God for allowing me room to question and yet was gracious to meet me at my faith level. I was elated! (the best was yet to come..)
Before our lesson ended, we started practising our gifts in smaller groups. This time, I was the one being prophesied upon (fyi we do not know each other):
The man who was blindfolded accurately identified my feeling of insecurity in my heart. He then went deeper to say that my insecurity was in the area of friendships. He said I was afraid of not being able to find friends, and that I was looking for a soulmate; and God wanted to assure me that I need not be afraid, for Jesus is my soulmate..
At this point, I cried..
(Here's my side of the story..)
I have a close friend (confidante) whom I regard as a soulmate. A month ago, I had a nightmare and I realised it was due to my insecurities that made me fear losing her. In fact, I've always held on very tightly to this particular friendship for I loved her dearly.
And that particular day, she was due to leave for a month-long honeymoon, but because I had something urgent in the night, I could not make it to send her off. Hence the whole morning in Bible school, I kept dwelling upon it - wondering if she'll be disappointed with me, wondering if she'll understand... etc etc
But of course, while all these was going on in my mind, God is watching and He wants to assure me..
To tell the truth, this was not the first time God is telling me He will be my ultimate friend. Today, He is revealing to me again that He IS the confidante that I want..and I need not look around in every other place, because the only place I need to search for is in Him - IN JESUS.
Truly, God is my ultimate friend. Because HE CARES.
He cares enough to identify my problem, He cares enough to assure me, He cares enough to be by my side. God is my friend for eternity :)
Jesus, I want to love You more each day..
