Can't help but to say THANK YOU, Lord!!!

God really amazes me so much. When u leave everything into His hands, He will indeed fight for u. Lately, someone hurts me so so so much. If that was the past, I would really retaliate. Yet, I kept my cool and forgave coz like what Joyce Meyer preached: Hurting people hurts people. Though I forgave, I told God that I hope this person will apologise. Few days later, the person indeed apologised. Through this incident, God had shown me another aspect of love. Love protects and edifies instead of condemning the one who hurts u. It's really a choice and requires self-control not to hurt people just because you yourself are hurt too.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; loves does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

In a period of trials, God also revealed that I have great friends around me who met my needs. However, what amazes me is that He sent someone who does not know what I'm going through to lift me up thru an sms. This person ain't someone who is that expressive and seldom smses me. Yet, it was the exact words of encouragement that I needed. What I realise is that, when someone speaks words of condemnation, a word of encouragement could negate the effect of condemnation. This is how cool God is to me. :) He simply surprised me with people who's like an angel being there at the right moment.

His love is really never failing. We all live in an imperfect world. But what makes it worth living is the love of God. He loves and bottles every tear we cry. However, God works only when we allow Him to work
