Greatly Blessed, Deeply Loved <3

Just this morning, I couldn't join my care group for the Study Skills Seminar in church because i had Girls' Brigade.. i was quite sad at first cos i really wanted to go for the seminar (thinking i need all the help i can get in my studies! haha kiasu right:S no condemnation tho! haha)

BUT SOMETHING AWESOME HAPPENED!

My friend was sharing an awesome message on communication with our parents during the devotion session(: she touched on the verse 1 Cor 13:4-7 and that was when i had a sudden revelation [Thank you Daddy(:]

haha i sure am exceedingly blessed by the sharing! but even greater than that, my heart and spirit was once again filled with so much of His love because of the revelation, that it is overflowing and i feel like jumping around! hahahhaha:p awesome awesome feeling(:

SO WHAT IS IT JW, SPILL! hahaha ya as i was saying, 1 Cor 13:4-7,

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

So I was looking at the screen (where the verse was projected) and yea like most christians i was like yea yea i know this verse... but thennnn this thought just suddenly popped into my mind (yes literally just appeared in my mind): "God is LOVE."

THEN THEN THEN i took out my bible and flipped to the verse and read it again, this time I replaced the LOVE with GOD. and it came out so awesome i was so blessed:

"GOD is patient, GOD is kind. HE does not envy, HE does not boast, HE is not proud. HE is not rude, HE is not self-seeking, HE is not easily angered, HE keeps no record of wrongs. GOD does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. HE always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

ISN'T THIS SWEET??? (:(:(:(:(:(:

THAT move (of thinking to replace words like that) was totally and definitely not me... i have never thought (in so many years of my christian life) that i would read it this way today.. i was sharing this with my dear little sister and i almost teared when i read out loud the 'replaced' version. it is really awesome..

simple as it may seem im really so blessed and i feel so loved and cherished by Daddy God(: God never shortchanges anyone (even though i could not make it for church this morning, He blessed me with even more:D)

We serve an awesome God! =D
