so glad i went for the meeting for senior webs in church today, and got to hear matt's message for us, up close. i almost didn't go, because i was telling myself i didn't have the time.

it was so apt, that the message came after a week of seriously struggling with the amount of work and thus compromising on the time spent on quiet time. and the message spoke volumes to my heart and i can say for many in the room as well... for that i thank God, so much.

if we didn't make time for God now, at our age, how can we even keep God in our lives when we grow into adulthood and enter responsibilities and the workforce? do we love Him enough to make Him our first priority, above everything else, or do we treat Him only as a panadol pill? i have been guilty of that, so many times, returning His unconditional love with our conditional one. and it awes me how above all these faults and complains of ours that He still loves us so, so much.

but have we forgotten the Lord our God, who sent His son to die for us so we have a chance to be in heaven joyfully with Him despite our wrong doings. having "no time" is no acceptable excuse, this line struck me hard. have we been "too busy" for God? while He was always waiting outside the door, waiting for us.

this year comes as my olevel year, and even thought there seems to be so much to do i pray that i wouldn't get so caught up in the flurry of things i forget about the Lord my saviour. i pray that my house will be built not on sand, the things of this world, but on Christ Jesus the rock. so that when the waters come, that i know i will be safe anchored in Christ.

goodbye to my obsession about the future, goodbye to being "too busy" for Christ.
it'll be hard, but i thank God for my fellow sisters in Christ in whom i can confide in and get encouragement from. and we know that God's hand will be upon us, as we grow together as a youth ministry, in Him.

the Lord is our saviour, we shall not be in want.
