Renewing me?
Sunday, April 27, 2008
He is renewing me right now. I know He is. I can feel so distant from Him. He is starting to do me over again. He is starting to work in me again. Not in the same way He had worked in me before, because I believe--God works in exciting ways.
Sometimes, we may not understand them. Sometimes, we even complain a lot! And not only sometimes, if we only check ourselves and if we'll only be honest with our feelings, we can see that ALL the TIME we are complaining. But did He ever complained? Did He? Did He??? He never. HE NEVER EVER EVER EVER complained. Even a bit. What did He say about our ways when He was at the Cross? He even told His Father that... "Lord, forgive them. For they know not what they do!"
He even had pity on us. No, not pity rather, He was still full of mercy. He still loved those who hurt Him. Well, He never really hates us, he hates what we are doing. God hates SIN. And Sin, lives in us. But we can avoid it, right? We've been sealed with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit had already been deposited in our lives the moment we received Jesus. And to add to that that He is the author of salvation!
Right now, me and God are not that alright. I feel so far from Him. I need to admit, for to services--I wasn't even to listen to God's word. I mean, I was there, but we were talking. And that's why it's like this. But, praise God! Though I was disobedient, He's still there...
I could still feel the warmth of His embrace.
"Draw me close to You..."
