blessings are starting to flow even in the midst of my thorny undertakings in life. i can never thank the Lord enough for everything that He's manifesting in me. He is making a huge impact in my life every single day and i am definitely assured that God will make my path straight, if only i will continue to be faithful in serving and being intimate with Him. He didn't say that it will be smooth though, but His promise to never forsake or even take His glimpse off of us...comforts me.
there are so many blessings to share to you guys but since some...well...are quite confidential FOR NOW, let me just mention one blessing that was showered to me by my Lord. :)
God blessed me to re-establish my relationship with a very close friend of mine, this person's like a family to me. during the absence of our blissful & hilarious companionship, the Lord has taught me several things that i know i must change so that i can move on and be mature in His likeness. it's very difficult to accept the truth because i felt that my ego is being "crushed" since i don't wanna put up the white flag anytime soon yet. no way, jose! but then, if i want to be consumed for the glory of our Lord, i must submit to the breaking...molding...consecration - to become a pure and anointed vessel that is fit for the Master's use. we're both in the same ministry and though i can already tolerate the presence of that person, i still can't find peace within because i felt that i cannot serve Christ with a half-baked heart; and the fact that i want to get this petty conflict be dismissed & forgotten once and for all.
i was being so paranoid that negative thoughts came rushing through my mind. i kept on assuming things that could worsen the situation. well thankfully, God didn't let that happen. He used my friends to help me straighten things out with this person peacefully and with all humility. now, we're trying to pick-up what we've left off and once again be comfortable with each other in terms of conversing or making fun of each other. i know in time, everything will be the same again.
