do you 'see' God's outstretched arm? only when you choose to receive will you truly feel his touch. he's always there, but it's up to you whether to accept his gift of love and offer of care & friendship or not. in mark 1:40-42 we can see that He's willing to heal, willing to love, willing thru' His power to do anything for us his children:

A man with leprosy
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees. "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man, "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.

I finally understand what true worship means. I felt as strong the presence of the Holy Spirit during 2nd night worship @ boot camp as I did at loveMG last year. as a PB, we were all being transformed. we surrendered ourselves, and our hearts were made right in His presence. we desperately seeked Him and He was with us in the LT. we proclaimed how great He is. we understood that He was, is and will always be our God. He's indescribable, our passion for him is seemingly incomprehensible. we are unable to articulate how we feel, but we're passionate about what we do. guess that's the key...we put our hearts into something, we will be rewarded. and God promises us that we'll be rewarded richly. (identity in Christ) :)

"God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth." (john 4:24) worship...is the greatest pleasure of the christian life but it didn't seem so until I first started to dive into it wholeheartedly. it was an obligation when I approached it, I was more or less self-focussed and hardly completely turned my heart towards God. it's only after knowing him more and more, and allowing myself to be changed by him did I become a worshipper with substance and not just a worshipper by ritual. but again...there are still greater things to come. I may not be asking God the right things now. I've been asking "what is my responsibility toward You?" for pretty long now. what He'd like to hear from us is in fact, something more heartwarming, "what can I do for You? You name it, it's Yours. whatever I can offer You, please let me." Lord I offer my life to you, everything I've been thru', use it for your glory. Lord I offer my days to you, lifting my praise to you, as a pleasing sacrifice, Lord I offer you my life

it makes me proud to see people growing in whatever ways possible - character most importantly perhaps? only when we're willing are we able to be moulded. the PB's a great channel. some people may think it's a waste of time...but my role as a prefect is definitely something I wouldn't give up in exchange of anything else in my world now. neither would I ever regret being in MG. it's because of the sheltered environment that we were allowed to grow in Him...it aided the strengthening of our faith because we didn't see/couldn't be influenced by as many of the unsaved as we would have elsewhere. for this I thank Him.

"God is AMAZING" is an understatement... you think rainbows and fluffy white clouds are beautiful? (I do :P) then you will put aside all logic, and think deeply as to how the world came about - there must be a creator, and that's Him. the things of this world can easily blind us; but we have faith, and we have the mirror in which we see the truth (His Word), His constant care and feel His love thru' people around us.

HE'S THE ROCK OF AGES. MY GOD IS A BIG GOD AND HE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS. HE NEVER SLEEPS HE NEVER SLUMBERS & WITH HIM I'LL NEVER BE SHAKEN! Amen :)

Hope y'all are doing great too! Praise God - thanks for always popping by my blog (even when you don't leave any traces ;)) Take care, have a restful weekend ahead. God's blessing will be upon you :-)
