Hello world! I am still in one piece and alive :)

Today I am going to post a little different from the previous posts . Read with an open heart and I believe it will really help you :)

God touched me in an awesome way on Friday night during Co-operate prayer. It's been really long since I felt that way cos I had been dry spiritually. I picked myself up again like recently, if I am not wrong for 2 weeks already that I have started to stand up for my faith and crawling out of the darkness :) He indeed is faithful, as we get closer to Him, He will get closer to us :)

James 4: 8
8Come near to God and he will come near to you.

Then yesterday during youth service, Ps Adrian named his sermon [little finger] and it spoke to my heart =)

He shared about Zacchaeus, a tax collector [Luke 19] about how people made him feel that he is insignificant because of his build [short] and also that he is a tax collector, so people think that he is bad and rotten and Jesus will not want to get to know Him and stuff. But people were wrong, Jesus noticed him among the crowd and even called him by name. Zacchaeus was of course suprised to know that this man called him by name when other people kept calling him other names to make fun of him.

8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."
9Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

How amazing is the story above? I do not know about how you feel, but I feel that our Lord is just so wonderful and graceful to even accept people who is small in most people's eyes and also they have sinned.

Matthew 19:30
30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

Matthew 20:16
16"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

Mark 10:31
31But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

Like how the verses above stated, Zacchaeus maybe the last in people's eyes and all, but out of thousands of people in the crowd that day, God noticed him instead of others who could have said or shout to God " God, here I am, look my way" but instead, God turned to an insignificant figure sitting up on the tree .

Sometimes I feel small in people's eyes too, I am sure some of you do to. But I know I will be important to God's eyes. His opinion about me is more important that others, because He is the truth and He will show us what we need to know and change. God will raise us up and bring us close to Him,telling us how He loves us, How we are important to Him because He created us in His own image and that we are having relationship with Him as daddy and daughter.

Friends, I pray You really will be encouraged by what I had shared. Remember, You are His creation and You deserve His love. Are you willing to come back?
