A testimony that I want to share.

I was waiting for my mother and sister as they take the time to shop for new clothes. Sitting at the corer of the shop, I started ponder upon question of my spiritual life.
NO, it’s not doubt. I truly believe in the existence of God. But I feel that my faith is not enough.

I prayed quietly that God will build up my faith as I remember pastor saying what really matters who did you place ur faith upon, not how big ur faith is. Of course, God is great.

I prayed that I will be able to exercise spiritual powers, to be able to use whatever spiritual gifts He had to empower me with, so that as I have the capability to use these gifts to minister to others and be a blessing, hopefully my faith will grow as I see miracles happening. Yeah, to move in the power of the Holy Spirit.

I prayed that I will be able to hear Him speak too.

I prayed about my future plans too, that I will get to know Him better and along the way, learn to trust in Him, that He has the best in store for me in the future, as promised in His Word.

On the way back, suddenly there’s this line that appear in my mind. It was a verse shared by Meixin in my church’s countdown party yesterday.

"Lean not on your understanding…"

Well, Meixin forgot what the next half of this verse is. But somehow, this part of the verse is actually enough to answer all the questions I have been feeling frustrated over. I was like…"YES! This is the answer!" I soon thought of another verse that goes something like "the peace of God transcends all understanding…" yes, I should learn to trust Him without asking too many questions. As long as I seek him earnestly, I will be able to draw close to Him.

Moments later, I was wondering, how did that verse come along? Was it the Holy Spirit speaking to me?

Praise God.
