kevin, my dearest cell leader, gave me a word last saturday...(:
at first it didn't make sense(: but i realised it did only a couple of days ago..
"the Lord is disciplining you during this period and it might be painful.."
on monday, God spoke to me, "whom I love, I discipline" - that was enough for me(:
i know what He's doing in my life, and i only pray that i'll be obedient and willing. cos my Father loves me too much to leave me just as i am. the Lord is good and gracious to all He has made. thank you Lord!
its just like our teachers in school. many of them care too much to leave us where we are.. forcing us on assignments, homework, etc is just a means of, in their opinion, ensuring a better future for us(:
don't make the mistake of misunderstanding them! or the Father..
too often circumstances paint a picture of a Father who doesn't care..
But it's through the trying moments that gold is purified, love is perfected, and we are closer to Christ(:
teach us to love Your discipline..(:
