God has touched me in a way that has never occured to me before. i don't know why. but in the morning, i read psalms 71 and it came so clearly to me that.. i shouldn't be afraid to change or be different from what i used to be. that i shouldn't be afraid of what the world may do to go against me. that i shouldn't be afraid of .. unspeakable things. that i shouldn't be afraid of being alone and not comfortable. because of the situation that i'm in now, an environment that isn't that of home, love, warmth. Nothing can describe how much i long for the comfort of home. of FAMILY. of FRIENDS. but now i know that i don't need to have it physically. because i have God and God is truly enough.
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.
I will praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you-
I, whom you have redeemed.
My tongue will tell of your righteous acts
all day long,
for those who wanted to harm me
have been put to shame and confusion.
psalms 71: 20-24
