read between the lines
re: what i learnt this week as i sat eating dinner alone, there was this overwhelming sense that god needed to let me know something through showing me past events that illustrated how despondent i used to be, not too long ago, contrasted against recent past events that illustrated otherwise. i gradually felt He was telling me that yesterday's assertion about me giving the wrong impression of Him was more of a loose allegory originally intended by the other party to remind me to 'walk the talk', instead of to imply i had not been doing my job well as a reflector of His character.i sensed Him telling me He was pleased with how i was living my life and that He loved me, and that it wasn't about whether or not i was reflecting Him in the best light possible, but it was more about my heart posture that really mattered to Him -- so i did not need to feel like i had disappointed Him (read: felt guilty) in any way by not painting a good picture of Him. i also felt Him saying that victory (of retaining full joy and overcoming a negative spirit) was indeed sure and eventual, and was definitely working its way into my life, and that i should not be discouraged but be encouraged by the remembrance that who i am today is a far cry from who i was before -- proof that His work of restoration is taking place within me and will continue to completion. what a grateful thing to have a god who speaks to me and alerts me to any deceptions or misinterpretations to keep me on track. |
