Five loaves & two fishes

God truly is faithful.

I've been struggling with a distraction for the past few weeks/months, so much so that God had been pushed out of the picture. That caused me to break down during SFC ministry time yesterday, when Vincent and Matthew were talking about how we may feel like we've drifted so far from Him.

When Samantha came over to pray for me and mentioned about how it's become all about serving and not about loving Him, I was breaking again. Oddly, it feels great to be broken in His presence. As Benedict once wrote, "In ourselves, we are nothing. We are zero. I have a lot of zeros. But when we add "1" i.e. Christ to our zeros... the more zeros, the better."

Thank You, Lord.

I've rediscovered again (no, this 'again' is not a redundant one) how much power the music we listen to has over our thoughts and our lives. So much secular songs I've been bombarding myself with.. and I think that's how also I've been feeding the sin of allowing myself to be distracted from God. The desire of that something more is good, but is wrongly placed.

In His time.

fatigue, love, saints for christ, god, temptation
