His name is hope, for all the earth.
i haven't really been listening to my call. nor heeding my instructions. and it jerked me so awake, when even with my good friends in school, friends i want to bring closer to the Lord, can remind me that i lost my focus.
i found myself in the Jonah predicament. He ran, away from God's commands, and it took a storm, a whale and solitary to bring him back. and as i think about Jonah, i drew a parallel. i found myself hesitant to commit to what God wanted me to do in school. and i ran. storms raged in my heart, swallowed by oversensitivity til i realised, i was alone again. in the dark, He listens. and i understood what it meant to be still and know that He's God.
like milton said, where can we ever draw the line? when can we know that what one person thinks he shares with another person would be the same as what the other person thinks? the only answer i found. was that the line was God. i mean. when can there be a two-way relationship with God in the picture? it just doesn't fit. that's why so many relationships fail, because the couples only thought of each other, never with God in it. and i guess the only way, is to just know that if God wants this girl to be yours, God would tell you. i can safely proclaim the trinity. its the basis of all relationships. you, your girl and God. and i can only recall someone telling me, that this relationship is right when both you and the girl are heading in the same direction, towards a closer relationship with God - together for God.
this one's for milton. if he ever comes here.
and the next lock opened
it was a promise.
a reassurance of
many more to come.
the new has come and the old has gone.
mark, be ready for what's ahead.
remember my voice....
convicted by Your spirit, led by Your word
