Amazing God

Yesterday during the cell group meeting, brother isaiah preached about the story of Marah, and taught us how to handle bitterness in life. Indeed the 3 pointers that he preached is so real. As I sat there and listened to the word of God being sent forth through his worker, I cant help but to praise God for his amazing love.



Many people live a defeated lifestyle, even though on the surface, they display a strong front to the people around them. They neve want people to probe into their inner life, and most of the time, this is because there are certain issues in their lives that they do not want to face up to it. Running away from a problem always seem to be the easiest way out, cos at that point of time, it seems that the problem no longer exist. This is really the OSTRICH mentality.



Some other people bear grudges all their lives, because they have been hurt by their loved ones, or being betrayed by someone close to them. As they gradually allow the root of bitterness to grow within them, one fine day, the tree of bitterness will just engulf their whole body, soul and being. They will no longer be able to experience true love from God and the people around them. To them, everyone and everything around them seems to work against them, and they have to be constantly on the guard to be wary of the people around them. And sooner or later, these people will suffer from mental disorder. If you don't know what I am talking about, then just recall the times u see some elderly folks talking to themselves, or scolding an invisible person on the MRT/bus/street, this is what I mean.



Indeed, we have to constant check ourselves to prevent ourselves from falling into such a trap. This is a trap that Satan has set up, and it is so easy for man to fall into it. Simply because this is not a perfect world, every human being has a certain expectation of things and people. And when the things that they expect do not happen, they become disappointed and if they continue to nurse it, one day, they become bitter and eventually, like what the bible says, there is only one ending to such - Death.



However, our God and Abba Father, really loves us too much to allow us to go through that. He always reminds us of His love, and when things do not go the way that we expect, and we become disappointed, it is important that we ultimately go back to God himself for a restoration of his Love in our lives. We need God, and that is a fact. Only God can take away the disappointment and in place, put in love inside us, so that it wun be empty. God is indeed so great, that He still continue to love us and take our hands to take us out of the Valley. Who else, can do that? The truth is, not even ur closest friend or family member or spouse will be able to do that. Only God and Only God Himself is able to do that.<br>


Indeed, I can testify to all the above, cos so many times, God always does that for me. Everytime that I am disappointed, God will always either give me a word during my quiet time or through a preaching @ CGM/service and remind me of His Love. He reminds me, "Hey I am God. Trust in Me, that I can solve your problems, I will take vengence for you, and I will Love you Always." With these words, I know, there is no problem that God can't solve. And Indeed, His love is my Strength. Amazing Love of God.


So friends, are you disappointed today? Are you feeling that your world seems bleak? Then what are you still waiting for? :-)
