Present-tense

Sorry for my lack of typing these days...I just dont feel like it haha.
But I have to learn to get over my feelings and JUST DO IT.

Recently I faced attacks from the enemy, and surprise surprise, I have been his assistant in accusing myself.
I often do not feel like drawing near to God, or spending time before God, and I feel like I am forcing myself to do so. I really questioned my heart in this, and thats when the accusations came.
I kept comparing myself to the days when I longed to draw near to God every chance I got, when I could write a new poem or song to God almost everyday. I started to feel like I am falling backwards now and my feelings get in the way.

Man I really have to stop assisting the enemy. It makes me feel so pressured and not good enough.
But God gave me a song to sing this week. "By You Now Is The Best" (Songs of My Heart 7, P.25)
I was so touched that God wants to enjoy the "present-tense" of me! He wants me NOW because is WITH me NOW! It doesnt matter what happened or how I was before, He just wants me now. I could really feel His embrace and be so comfortable in Him no matter what my feelings are.

And so wonderful we sang that song in the worship yesterday! I really enjoyed it, and the worship was so full of God's presence. I have to improve in voicing out again, but all I want to do is enjoy the Lord, and not let voicing out be my focus.

Anyways, I am really glad that God is always there for me. His love is ever-fresh and never changing. I am glad I have this anchor in my life forever.

Don't live upon feelings, but upon the truth!

so truee x]

In my 2nd trip to Fiji last year [Dec-Jan], my quality DNG was severely suppressed by the enemy 'cause of the busyness [esp cos of the few number of coworkers during that time too ><]. But it was during that trip that I understood more why Paul said in Philippians 3:13,

"one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,"
