My Future Decided

God's love is so amazing.

Lifegroup on Wed was a worship night. God's presence was so strong, the atmosphere was soaked through with His love. Personally I really needed that time alone with God, just resting in Him, worshipping Him, enjoying Him. I cried till I had no tears left to cry that night, in my own little corner where I was conscious of only Him and me. His presence is so soothing, it wipes away every last streak of weariness.

I remember that at one point, 'How He Loves' by John Mark Mcmillan started playing. As this particular line was repeated again and again,
'Oh how He loves us! Oh how He loves us! Oh how He loves us!"", I felt God's love permeate every single cell in my body, saturated to the point of bursting... and all I could do was fall to my knees and cry tears of joy... That night, God pursued us unceasingly with His intense love and as we came together to pray, one person after another spoke out loud about His unconditional, unquenchable love.

1 John 4:18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

No fear. I am safe in His perfect love.
So many questions, so many decisions facing me continually. Just rest. Just rest in Him.
To have (fully) experienced His love means to be sure about it, to be secure in it.
Whatever works out, whatever doesn't... one thing is sure, He loves me and He only wants the best for me.

Jer 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Matt 7:9-11 You parents - if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him.


"Eileen, don't try to piece everything together. You'll just make a mess of things. The way I gave you the glimpses of the different fragments of your life to come. The same way will I bring them into fruition. I will bring them to pass. Keep your heart right, Keep your heart after me."
(thanks Daryl for giving me these words too)

(and these) "There will be times where it may seem like its not going to work out. No path reveals itself...but when you know God calls, you stick in it. Might not be immediate...might take a little longer than you like...but if you're after His heart... the timing is NEVER wrong. Your mind will be your worst enemy.

2 cor 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (NKJV)

Every thought against what God said must be destroyed and replaced with what is in line with what He said. Don't list out the things that are against you Eileen. You have power."

Hello there,
I just came across your blog and the Lord used it powerfully to speak to me. I know it was not a random event, but that the Lord directed me here.

It is clear that you truly are an extravagant worshipper. The Lord has clearly stirred your heart to worship Jesus, the King of all Kings. Psalm 45.

Keep on writing, singing and worshipping our King.. I see Him writing a beautiful love story on each page of the book of your life.

You are precious, unique and deeply loved by the Lord. His special princess. Continue to revel in that love, and He will use you as a channel to touch many lives.

Yours in Christ,

Lakshika

Hi Lakshika,
I'm not sure if you'll get a chance to see this reply seeing that you left me this message ages ago.. the only excuses I have are, well, life and the lack of internet access for awhile.

Thank you for your encouragement and love. I read the words you have written and it encourages me to keep pressing into the things of God.

I pray the same for you and that you will understand the depth of His amazing love for you. That you will be filled with His spirit to do all that He has called you to do, that you will get fresh revelations of His love and be transformed by it daily. Gosh I am blown away by How much He loves you :)

Eileen
