God really listens.
i just have to share out this great fact tat God exceed my needs n reminded me his great timing n the fact tat he listens to our request. He's faithful throughout.
not too long ago, I heard the great news, tat a r/s I was praying about for some time, months ago...was being restored. To cut the long story short, 2 of us, unwillingly caused hurt to a friend. N it took me months (after he came back from training in taiwan) for us to talk and for him to forgive me. I also pleaded for him to forgive the other party too, but it seem tat it was harder for tat to happen, since...while..he wasn't ready. But yesterday, before the same guy left for another training in taiwan (its close to 6months odd!!) he let her know tat he had forgiven her, n I feel the r/s in on the mend. Wat great news it was for me. In fact, I didn't expect to know abt it, but God's timing was just perfect tat everything fell in place. I couldn't use words to describe the joy, n I'm so thankful tat God listen to prayers. N for the holy spirit in us to be convicted and wanting us to be loving towards one another.
on a sidenote, this is the best weekend I had in 2005. Becoz, God's renewal was at hand for me personally. Not just one event, but the whole week. He exceeded my needs. I feel like a plant, my dried leaves n branches have been taken away, n God's springs of life has re-freshed me. I don't wish to leave it static, I prayfully desire tat I will be able to bear fruits again.
N one fruit, I really desire to bear, is self-control in obedience to the Lord. Some things I've learnt to be more self-controlled.. but there're still so much more to go. Like not disturbing people, buying excessive gifts (so as to not mislead the person) n so much more. My self-control has to be in obedience to God n led by my holy spirit.
Wat a start to the week. Praise the LORD!!!
