Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge who subdues peoples under me.
Just a glimpse of God's love for me as I chose to surrender everything.
The other days and today have been kinda of a struggle for me and unknowingly, my spirit and body have been kinda feeling low. Feelings of restlessness, defeat, regret, tired, stress and so on. So I have concluded that there's really more to this than I even can understand.
This afternoon, I took a long walk home and felt the peace of just doing what I love and being in a place that makes me super close to God- with nature. At the time, I made up my mind that I would go for a long run that evening and so I did.
During evening time, the sky looked dull and threatened to rain. But who cares, I would love to run under the rain! So I ran, till my legs and especially my knees began to ache and completed 7km (Its felt like 10km :/ ) During that time, I listened to this christian song and it really spoke right into my heart. It was as though God was speaking through it and there, with perspiration dripping, heart pumping and body aching, I knew that I was in a battle with my mind and in my heart
The strongholds of defeat and regret in my life have to go and I had to claim God's promises over my life during this very season. God loves me despite of what I did or who I am. He loves me even when my time management sucks or when I dont fulfill my commitment. He loves me despite of my ugliness and brokeness. He loves me so very much.
Later that evening, something incredible happened.
Four random people texted me, in a form of a prayer or question of how I am doing.
These four people are people that I dont talk to very often and don't even know very well.
These are the four people, that God chose to use to encourage me for this coming weeks.
God's way of showing me love is kinda amazing, very unexpected and so very mysterious.
