Hi everyone, its been awhile since I've written something in here due to the change of houses hehehe.. but its been a very important month for me. As most of you know, we had the church retreat and there I received a gift from God, Holy laughter. Man it feels like the greatest joy of the world and I couldn't stop laughing. It was such a GREAT joy!! Crazy, never felt anything like that before but it was AWESOME!! That retreat deserved it's name "Higher Ground" indeed.
What came after the retreat was even more important. Just as usual, when God raises you higher, the devil wants to drag you down. So for the whole of this week, God has taught me a lesson I'll never forget in my whole entire life. He took away the most precious gift from me and told me to sacrifice it to Him. It's a really great contrast to the retreat. The greatest pain I have ever felt in my whole life. It felt as if, if God wasn't there for me, I would've just died of grief. It reminds me of the time when Abraham had to sacrifice his son Isaac to God. God was testing his faith and in the last second, saved Isaac from death. I thank God every minute for this pain that I am experiencing. I know it will make me stronger and in the end, my reward will be great.
"Blessed be your name,
in the road marked with suffering,
though there's pain in the offering,
Blessed be your name!"
