On Sunday, 12 Nov 2006, there was this speaker who came to our church to preach. Pastor Joseph. I found that his message, though short and funny too, was powerful.

He talked about the Word of God. That Jesus is the Word. If you feel dry spiritually, you should go to the Word of God. The distance between you and Jesus is the same distance between you and the Word.

He dared us to try something at home. Go home, turn to any page of the Bible, believe that God will speak to you and you will find Him speaking to you through the Word.

And that was what I did. I was 'separated' from God for months. Not that I didn't try to get back, but somehow I couldn't. But that night, I wanted really to get back cos life without God sucks big time. SO I tried what this pastor dared us to do.

I held my Bible in my hands. I dared not open it, for fear that God will not speak to me. Then, I prayed. I told God I want Him to speak to me. I stuck my index finger in my Bible. Before I opened it, I told God I will believe that He will speak to me. So I opened it.

And I found it. I found what God wants to tell me. Isaiah 54. Verses 4, 7 and 8 hit me. God, He spoke that night. He spoke to me. Isn't it marvellous? Isn't wonderful? That this God still remembers me and talks to me.

Now, I m not afraid to move forward. Last time, I was afraid cos I know many challenges will await me. But now, I have faith that God is with me and will walk me through. With Him by my side, I have ntg to fear. But this doesn't mean that, poof!, all my troubles will be gone. They will still be there but I can face them now, not alone, but with a God who never fails.

Last night, an insercuity issue arised in me again and I quarrelled with someone. Felt scared cos I know this issue, if not dealt with properly, will bring me down again. So I prayed. I need God badly. So I did the same thing. I held the bible, prayed, believed and opened the bible. And that passage I read spoke to me AGAIN. Thank you Father..

For you out there who is reading this entry, I encourage you to do the same. For it truly works and God is always waiting to speak to His children.
