JESUS I LOVE YOU...today was a good day!I studied hard, ate healthy,and most important of all: I encountered You during worship!
Yesterday we learned about nutrition in Health Leaders Class. I learned that I need to eat small portions of food throughout the day to keep my metabolism going;I should eat a healthy snack (i.e, apple,yogurt,Trader Joe's Multigrain Crackers...etc)every three hours. I did that today,I feel great and my stomach isn't that bloated anymore! We really need to take care of our bodies, because it is the Lord's temple...The speaker also gave us a link:
MyPyramid CHECK IT OUT!Find out how to eat healthy and make a customized nutrition + exercise plan specifically for you!
This morning I was actually able to concentrate and pray (usually I would just flip through the Bible and mutter a half-hearted prayer).I mean, I was having a wonderful time talking to my Lord! It really makes a difference to start your day with prayer and worship.Around noontime I gave myself an hour to worship and wait upon Jesus. It was fantastic!I asked Jesus to help me pray and He did; He taught me how to pray and intercede, how to sing and praise. God's wonderful presence filled my tiny dorm, and my heart was pounding with joy. But none of that could compare with what Jesus did during my night devotion.
It was 9:00pm, after I took my sociology midterm and showered, I sat down infront of my desk.Resisting the urge to turn on the computer,I listened to the Onething 2006 CD.As I sang along, my heart melted before Him,and I hungered after God. I haven't felt so overwhelmed like this for a long time, and I didn't realize that I've been missing it until Jesus reminded me. Oh it is so good to know that I am His. God's love is so tender that it makes me want to cry; I feel like someone who's finally found refuge from a raging storm.Jesus my soul finds rest in You, my wounds get healed in You,my burdens get relieved in You, and my stains get cleaned in You.Oh I have found redemption in my God's unfailing love! Before, I had tried to read Song of Songs repeatedly without success;I just couldn't concentrate on King Solomon's flowery words.But at that moment, I felt like singing those romantic verses to Jesus, for my heart was on fire for my God.
Lord You are GOOD and You are FAITHFUL, thank You!!
"Within Your temple, O God, we meditate on Your unfailing love." (Psalms48:9)
