His love never fails!

My clock started to alarm at 4:30am, April 19 - Thursday. Just a few hours of sleep, i still want to sleep more! I am tired! With all these hesitations, I followed what I have to do... That is to pray and ask for God's guidance to start this day with enthusiasm and not of laziness.  Praise God, he woke me up and then, my day started. :)

I met Janet ( my discipler ) in eastwood for fellowship. The lord revealed a lot of things to us and we were so ignited about it. We ended up so full of joy and happiness. "Wow Lord what a starter."

" Yes, I'll continue to sleep once I come home." I told myself. Indeed, on my way home, I'm already dreaming...( as if I am sleeping lol) dreaming of what heaven looks like... And the fact that the Lord is preparing a place for me there... John 14: 2 "My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?"  is a Goosebumps! 

I was waiting for the elevator to reach ground floor and take me to my sanctuary. Suddenly, a familiar face, I have noticed. It was Nic Nic. Honestly? I said "Why are you here?" I know that my rest will be interrupted by her presence. It was true! She needed company for her college admission. Then my eyes became "chinky" (if you know what I mean).

I felt the need, and i am always free for service. "Lord, I just trust in you for my day... This is your plan and I will obey..." my hearts prayer. Since Nic Nic is a new believer,  this is a way for me to model Christ in my life through patience (Christ-like model). As a Christian for how many years, i know that this is to check our obedience to Him. 

We shared laughter during our journey. We have visited/inquired 5 universities within Manila (u-belt). We were in peace and in great happiness because even when we were walking under the hot summer sun, we know that the Son of God was in our midst. 

Finally, we reached home safe and cool at around 3:30pm, I told her I will just sleep for 2 hours and she gave me that time. Then, we bond more by sharing things of our same interests... Girl bonding! 
But then again i saw in her eyes the pain of what she is going through with our family. ( the Lord knows it and we both prayed for it). We ended up sharing the same struggle about our faith exposing it to our family. I did cry and just prayed harder with her, all of a sudden, there were two ladies weeping about our family situation. 

The Lord spoke within my heart to share the story of Jesus anointed the sinful woman in Luke 7: 36:50. A story of forgiveness and of greater Love. It was a divine intervention. We didn't plan of studying  it since it was already my devotion yesterday. Unknowingly, it was the  proper application. 

After all of the tears we have shared at the beginning, i again saw my self crying in praising God about His goodness and unconditional love. We are so blessed because we know that this is the greatest decision we have made, to surrender our lives to Christ as we received Him as our Lord and saviour.

Even when we have “plowed wickedness” and “reaped iniquity”: (Hosea 10: 13 But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors), God does not stop loving us. Whatever our situation today, just like us, we can turn to the Lord and find forgiveness to make a new start. His love never fails!
