SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED!


I was not feeling really well today.  My back is in extreme pain for this I decided to take off from work and have myself scheduled for therapy.  I woke up early to drop my sister for work and borrow her car for my car was borrowed by my mom.  With my right shoulder in pain, I drove my sister to work and after which I decided to go to church. 

I reached God’s place at 7:30am and went straight inside the church and sat there in front of the altar.  I took a deep breath and minding all those people who are inside with me. I looked at them and thought they are here just like me to be with Him.  I observed for a moment.  Others were kneeling and raising their hands up high.  Others were sitting reading the bible and others were standing and reciting the novena.  As I looked at them, it hit me.  Our faith is between us and God alone.  No one can question our faith.  My tears fell down my cheeks as I reflect on what I see and what I feel and what I just realized.

It’s been so long since I went to church alone and just sit there and be with Him.  And today I decided to go and get connected.  Sitting there it took me time to isolate myself and reach Him.   My mobile kept on ringing so I had to turn it off to remove hindrances.  I sat there staring at Him.  With all of my worries, thoughts, questions and pains, I was trying to unload and empty myself in order for me to be filled with His love.  I tried and tried and tried.  It was not easy for me.  It was a long time since I last did this.  But I didn’t give up.  I tried until I successfully connected.

There is no greater joy than being in His presence.  There is no greater healing than His love overflowing in my heart.  There is no greater peace than His warm embrace.

It’s been a long time, I falter, but He never gives up on me.  He is just patiently waiting for me to come and be with Him.

He never fails me.  He never leaves me.  He never let me fall so deep that I can never recover.

Being in His presence and with Him is a decision I always have to make.  It doesn’t just happen.  I have to decide and choose Him. 

Making Him my Choice is always the perfect choice then nothing else matters.

With great joy, love and peace in my heart, I switched on my mobile then messages from above started coming.  With unstoppable fingers, I texted those friends of my mine with words from Papa Jesus, words of love just overflowed and it has to reach them.  It was a few selections and I believed Jesus really wanted them to know that He loves them too.  After my task, I thanked Him for His precious one and half hour time and left with a smiling heart.
