The God I know...

Today I bore witness to something that warmed my heart so. It's been some time, I have to admit, since I felt the kind of presence I did so today from a chat, and I treasured it. Recently it has been from afar. But today I was reminded of how good He is and His love for each of us...and He is near.

As I listened I could only smile and Thank God that at the end of the day, his smallest and lightest touch sends waves through our lives. In fact, it was so nice, I didn't know what to say..hahaha...

Seeing her tears as she blurted out memories of feelings of being lost when waking up daily with a heavy and burdened heart. Digging deep and finding a brand new type of Faith that took care of things and carried her through. It was such a simply put yet powerful testimony. No fancy build up, no elaborate picture was decribed. No flowery words used.

Just reaching an end point where there's nothing left but to say: Here I am, I don't know how. But I pray...and ask....

She added that it was one of the most impactful experiences for her in the past year and that she met God in a new way.=)

And you know what? That to me is the best part. That it isnt' some man influenced deal, training or favour....but the most impactful experience was that of one with our heavenly father.

Which for any of my friends is the happiest I can be for them, and I'd only want more for them. Because these personal testimonies that strengthen them are the same that will pull them through when there's no one around.

I'm tearing as I type this too..coz it's joy and a strong strong reminder of who He is, who He has promised to be to us, and yes...He is... I had a song humming at the back of my mind since I started this post...


When the stage is bare tonight
There’s no one else
Just You and me
When the curtains close behind
There’s no pretense
I’m on my knees

The God I know
Righteous and Holy
The God I know
Faithful and true
The God I know
My tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed

The God I know
Light of the City
The God I know
Strengthens the weak
The God I know
Your heart beats within me
As You are, so are we

I cry buckets when I sing the chorus each time...heh.

My dearest friend, I'm so happy for you. =) Thank you for being there for me k...can't say enuff of how blessed me is to have you lah..=P
