Am really tired, so I'd probably go and sleep soon and wake up earlier to do some work. Sigh.
Today was pretty great. It was my first time attending another church service that wasn't my own and thank you Natasha for inviting me. I guess it was kind of a cultural shock because I've always been in a more mild church but it was nice and heartwarming to see people coming up to accept Jesus at the end of the service and everyone being so encouraging. Anyway, today's message was pretty apt I guess because firstly, they talked about loving the people around us. And it can be so difficult at times because some people make it difficult to love but no matter what, we should try to give them as much love as we can, just like how God still loves us even though we sin and we disappoint him again and again. And then, there was a pastor who shared about her testimony and she talked about how she was living her life in darkness for more than 20 years. But one day someone prayed for her and she heard a voice that said that God loves her, God forgives her, and God is proud of her. And I guess it spoke to me because sometimes no matter what we do we always feel like we cannot satisfy anyone around us and we get so weary. But God from above who is looking down on us is always looking down on us in love. Lastly, we sang a worship song called "First" and it reminded me of how God is enough and all that I need. And that I should always remember that first love and first joy that I felt when I first accepted him as my Lord and Saviour. And His love never fails.
Trying to build a relationship one step at a time.
It's difficult that you're so far away.
