Never Runs Dry

I believe the Lord is calling me to go deeper in my committment to Him. At first, felt a bit afraid that somehow I won't be able to cope with it or it will change some things in my life at the moment...I guess I realised that my humanly nature rises, and tries to throw in as many reasons of not to do it.

In confusion, I asked the Lord to pesonally speak to me if it's really His will, and I needed Him to put that assurance in my heart. During the time just enjoying His presence, suddenly the passage about the widow and Elijah in 1 Kings 17 came into my mind...
And felt the Holy Spirit speaks into my heart...As I decided to give ou myself, to committ and surrender my life to the Lord, as He has asked me to, He promised that like the widow who gave what she had, in obedience to the voice of God, that the Lord will cause my life to never runs dry..never runs out..
He promised His endless supply of strength, power and grace upon my life...when I choose to give out my life for His purpose.

" The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day of the Lord gives rain on the land.."(1 Kings 17:14)

I took His promise into my heart, and I choose to obey....I said, "Yes, Lord...here am I.."

I realise that God always has His ways to speak to us..in His perfect timing...for His perfect will...
I guess the question will be, " What is your respond?"

In the Desert

When the leaves started to wither
And the ground began to dried up
How the earth longs for the rain
And the brooks to flow again

So it is with my soul
How I long for Your touch
In a dry and weary land
I’m desperate for You to fill me

With fresh and new living water
Flowing from Your throne
Revive my spirit, renew my heart
Make known to me once again

The pathway to Your heart
The joy of Your salvation

Then my heart will praise Your name
Saviour, Blessed Redeemer
The One who is and always be
The bread of life, fountain of the living water

And forever my heart will rejoice
For Your grace keeps me still
In the quiet waters and green pastures
There I’ll hear Your voice again

So even if my soul faints
And my strength fails
Yet my heart will choose to say
Blessed be the name of The Lord..

A Heart Cry

Feeling confused…don’t know what I’m feeling at the moment…feeling troubled, and my heart is refused to be comforted. Not really at rest, and seems that it craves and yearning for something…something to satisfy my heart…

And I know that it’s only You, Lord. You’re all that I need, and just a word from You would calm this storm in my heart…a gentle whisper that calms the waves of my doubt and unbelief…
It’s Your voice that gives peace into my soul…that comforts me…

Lead me back to the green pastures, to the quiet waters…
where my soul can be at rest once again.
Let Your word light the way in the darkness of night…may I find You in the secret place, where I see the light of Your countenance and Your glory filled my heart once again..
To be close to Your heart is where I want to be, and always be…
To dwell in Your house is where I want to stay, all the days of my life..
To spend the rest of my life with You, knowing You, and loving You, that’s all I want to do…Now until eternity…

You’re all I want, You’re all I need..
Where can I go from Your presence?from the heights to the depth of the earth, You are there…from the east to the west, Your unfailing love keeps me from falling and breaking…Even if I do, Your grace lifted me up again and restore my soul.

A heart cry to You, oh Lord
Reaches to Your ears...
Be still, oh my heart
Be at rest once more, oh my soul

For the Lord is near, closer than ever..
And once again, I hear Him gently whispers...
And feels Him gently touches..
My heart knows, hears, and sees...that He is here with me.

A Single Seed

Over the weekend, was having our Joseph Care Group retreat down at Gold Coast. Very refreshing time and thought that I’d share what God has spoken during that time…..

(John 12:24)
“I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

During the 1st night, was reading this verse, and I knew that God intended me to read it. As I began to ask God to reveal to me what He wanted to say, then felt that He was referring me, and every single child of God like that seed. We are meant to bear fruit, and we need to be planted in His field, which is the church, and there could be no other way. We need first to choose to fully commit ourselves to Him, and choose his will above everything.

Apart from that, He spoke to me something else that answer my situation where I felt unrest in my heart…He shows that it’s like a plant that’s growing…sometimes He brings a dry season in my life…so that I will stretch out my roots even more…reaching deeper into the Source of the Living Water. It’s a choice that I need to make, whether I want to remain the same, or to press on until I reach that Living Water. And I realise that He brings challenges and different seasons in my life, for one single purpose…to draw me to Himself.

Well, I see it pretty simple…whatever things that we do, decisions that we make, if that results in drawing ourselves closer to God and His purposes for our lives, you then have made the right move! Even if you don’t, the grace is God is always able to bring you back again as you ask of Him.
