"If you abide in me and my words abide in you,
ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you"
I honestly do not think any of you comprehend what I mean.
Who of you has prayed with all your heart
And trusted Jesus wholly to keep His promises?
I have.
Who of you has had child-like faith in God,
And seen the most impossible prayers answered?
I have.
Who of you believe with all your heart,
that God is sovereign,
that God is good,
that God is merciful,
that God is kind,
that God is loving,
that God hears,
And wants to give His children whatever they desire
When they seek Him first above all things?
I do.
Not a matter of spiritual, mental or emotional maturity at all.
But about surrendering what you love most to God.
i'm pretty sad having to post this here.
i duno how many of you realise it,
but in so much that you're saying
you, my siblings-in-Christ,
are in fact, making my hope dwindle
and extinguishing whatever flickering bit of light there is left on my candle.
if it's too much to ask you to battle alongside with me spiritually,
surely it's not too much to beg of you to stop showing me the probability of it not happening.
Conviction: Despite all the cynisms and criticisms of man, shout all the more louder.
Faith: Believing in what seems impossible, with the simple knowledge that God IS God.
He is the author and perfector of my faith. If He has given me the faith, He will perfect it and see it through.
You don't say it, but your words show it.
i may be foolish.
Well, fools are often blessed.
i may be childish, naive, ignorant.
Well, "let the little children come to me"
I'm still God's child, God's little toddler who can't walk on her own, His silly baby babbling mouthfuls of gibberish.
But what does it matter, as long as i remain in His protective arms?
"Even if i'm foolish, I wanna be foolish in prayer." -phoebe.
