Priceless

Last week Friday was driving a friend home to Inala, and on the way I was just talking about how I used to have fear whenever the car is moving too fast due to near death experience that I had in Malaysia. I shared how God set me free from the fear, and now I love the speed (well, sometimes I speed a bit..hehe..). She shared how she would be really careful on the road..and ya ya ya...was agreeing with her...but it's just kinda came in through left ear and came out from the right ear.

And God knew what's happening in my heart...I was a bit stubborn, and rebellious...cos I still didnt really take even driving too fast seriously.

Low and behold....on the way back, I missed the turn on the roundabout!! I freaked out!! considering how bad I am in direction and reading map!
But thank God I managed to make another round to go back to the same place and pheuwwww...so scary. And I remember that my phone was off cos no battery.

I felt God was teaching me that sometimes, we can go through a situation and allow us to make the wrong choice, so that we can learn not to repeat it again..and of course God will provide a U-Turn for us.

About to reach Toowong...driving on the highway, didnt realise that I was a bit too fast...for some reason, my feet didnt want to tap on the break to slow down...and it was a tricky road where the speed always change..(yeahh..I was blaming at everyhting but myself...still stubborn...)
The suddenly ..."Booph..." not sure if that's the right way to describe..haha...saw a flash and...crap!!I bet I just earned myself a speeding fine. So I mourn and kept saying.."Jesus...why??"...then after a while, then it just hit me. A revelation from God - He was teaching me a lesson, to obey and do what is right. He knew sometimes I can be a bit stubborn...and finally I said.."Ok, Lord...I got it...I know You're teaching me and showing my heart attitude."

Felt grieved....cos I did what was wrong in His eyes...but yet, the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit that showed and spoke to me, it didnt come in a condemning way..but more like a firm, persuasive, loving kind of discipline. Reminded me about the Father's love to discipline His children. And I knew that His intention is always love. Out of love He didnt want me to remain the same.
Realising that, I felt very touched..and I felt grateful..and I felt joyful..!!Knowing that He cares enough...haha...so I felt really happy that night!
Haha..so strange...felt mixed of emotions at the same time.

Then I thought to myself..would we react differently in situations where God placed us in,if we knew and believe that His intention is always love?If He opens our eyes to see beyond the situation, His intention behind it...How would our respond be?

The $100 plus fine is nothing..compare to experiencing Him. How He opened me eyes, learned a valuable lesson, an experience to come to a better understanding of His heart....to know Him better and be changed..that I may continue to walk in the path of obedience...now that's PRICELESS!!!
