Here I am again! Ok, little update on my blog. This "Life.Jesus.amazed =)," well, it's not just about my life, it's also about what's going on in my relationship with the beautiful one. I'll also make other post in other sections, and make other sections... I'm rambling on... Well, ahem, moving on!
So lately my life has been going alright, until I got a hater yesterday. She was one of my good friends, and now she hates me. I felt so down and depressed about it. I didn't know what to say, there were so many times during my day, I wanted to talk to her like normal: bouncy, excited, and so on. She would always snap. I just didn't know what to do.
At church that night, during worship, it was like God was telling me, "I love you, it doesn't matter what they think of you. I'm all that matters!" I was like whoa! I was astonished! Then our worship pastor started talking about how you have to give God all your heart, mind, soul. She made a really good example of it. Her example was like this:
If you're in a relationship with someone, you're not going to go off talking to other people outside of that relationship. You're not going to be talking to them about the same stuff, or loving them the same way. It's just you and the person in the relationship. That's how it should be with God. You have to give him your whole self. You can't just say, "Oh God, you can have this part of my heart, but I'm going to dedicate this part to so and so."
I hope that made sense. I just started giving it to him. Telling him about how he mattered more than any words or thoughts people had made about me.
After that night I had read Psalm 23. This is because two days ago, I was on a hike. I was in between these hedge-like plants, there was a path in between it. The verse that I kept thinking that this path looked like was sort of like the valley of the shadow of death. The verse was, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me."
I kept asking God, "What is this valley? Am I in it?" I could not understand this verse. So I searched and searched my heart. It didn't make sense until I realized it yesterday, after all the upsetting times I had. I thought, "Oooh, this is what it is, this is the evil, I have nothing to be afraid of, Jesus is here." I was so joyful! I just thought, how I was going to love my enemies, and turn the other cheek, and all this stuff.
Even though my friend may hate me, I have Jesus. And Jesus has faced persecutions worse. He will be my strength through it all.
Peace! =)
