Stumbling block to Stepping stone!
Every new day (Now and Forever)
Your glory unfold (Grace and Mercy of God flowing through my life)Filling my eyes (I can see the plans of His)
With Your treasures untold (Blessings upon blessings)
The beauty of Holiness (God is indeed beautiful)
Bring worship a new (I will bring You more than a song)I simply live (A promise I will live)
I simply live for You (God, You alone)God can never be as real as this. Like I mentioned how God have changed the situation for me because of my love for Him. A stumbling block that hidden the future to a stepping stone for my future. The firm foundation has been established. I just have no idea what more to expect when all I see are lights from Heaven! Walking with God has been the best thing that I have chosen for my own life.
"Even when I am faithless, I know I have a faithful God"
This morning when I woke up to check on my daily devotion document, God once again give me a story, a story to tell me a clearer and a better picture of what I should do. I have been through it and I know is just so tough to love those who once hurt you, not just hurt but crushed you inside out; outside in. To bless those who taken your precious dreams away. To even pray for those who chose to back stab you. IS TOUGH, no joke, this could be one of the hardest thing I need to do as a Christian but in Luke 6:27-28 God said we ought to do so.
Obedience is better than SacrificeI recalled how tough it was to stand up by the strength of God alone, when the world could offer me a likewise solutions. It would be so much easier for me to walk out and run away, but I told myself, with God, I will choose the long and narrow way. It was TOUGH - beyond descriptions. I found myself being so foolish with it, but God did not. He had indeed see the heart of mine and help me through. What the world may think is wrong, God made it right for me.
TOUGH - Thoughts Of Using God's HelpI really have no idea what more should I ask for, when blessings upon blessings are falling into my life. I have not taken a wrong path to make this U-turn with God. It was so much a pain when I was taking the U-turn, because across the road, I saw what had exactly happened. (if you drive you know what I mean) It brought aches to heart when I look across but is over, memories are left, that's important. I've learnt from my lessons and now is the best experience I know I have taken. I had crossed that stage and am now in gear 3, speeding a little faster for the lost time.
I found my comfort in Christ, now and always. When I am resting in Him, He works for me. In fact, when He works, I end up with more.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, IS THE LORD OF HOSTS: THE(MY) WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY!
Glory to the God most High

The Dart Test - Author Unknown
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr Smith. She says that Dr Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. Now one particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked, or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was very pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filledwith disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall.
Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. Needless to say a hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
It was then that Dr. Smith said only these words... "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID TO ME." (MATTHEW 25:40. ) No other words were necessary; as tears filled eyes of the students, as they focused only on the mangled picture of Jesus Christ.
