Hi everyone I'm sixuan (: I read what Jamie typed in the previous post and I agree y'know!! Last time when I was younger, before coming to YF, I used to think of God just as God -really intimidating, and able to just strike me dead anytime he felt like it, like in that Bible story haha. Yknow how there was a pastor who said in one of our services before that we have to see God as a God, a Father, AND a friend? Yeah! I think building such a three-pronged relationship with God means we can feel free to talk to God about EXACTLY what's in our hearts - no need to fake in front of him cos he can read us anyw!
Anyw, this was my quiet time a few days back:
Calvin Johnson was sentenced to life imprisonment after being wrongly convicted of rape. In the courtroom he had said, "God is my witness, I have been falsely accused...I just pray in the name of Jesus Christ that the truth will eventually be brought out". Sixteen years later, in 1999, DNA tests proved him innocent and he was freed. Amazingly, he holds no bitter feelings toward the woman who falsely accused him, the jury that found him guilty, or the judge who sentenced him. Upon his release he said, "Bitterness will destroy you. Now I just need a job."
Yes it is true. Jesus our Savior is always with us, enabling us to be content no matter what our circumstances. Beacuse of Him, we can be kind even toward those who mistreat us. As we love Him, trust Him, and depend on Him, He will give us strength to do the impossible.

Haha also I'd like to say a big WELL DONE! to Jamie here, because CDW today was awesome fun (: It was truly a change I suppose, something new, something refreshing, and I think by the end of these 10 sessions we should have all broken that psychological barrier about dancing that many of us have right now; and I bet in the tenth lesson all of us will not free self-conscious anymore and will be able to let loose (: HOPEFULLY, of course! Haha but anyway YUP so I'd like to say I really enjoyed myself today (: THANKS JAMIE!! :D
