Testimony 29/07/05: Better Things

Since I reached home, I felt uneasy most of the time. Am not used to how things are done. Somehow I felt that the spiritual atmosphere here is not good either. I felt bad about everything.

My mind went to the good things back in Melbourne. The friendships I have… The church I went… The cells I fellowshipped… The nature I enjoyed…And I was asking myself why things seems so bleak over here?

As I lay my head down in the deep of the night, a gentle voice came. That same voice that has soothed my heart with its tender words all these while.

“Remember what I told you?”
“Which one, Lord?”
“That the friendships were beautiful?”
“Yes, Lord.”
“That the church was great?”
“Yes, Lord.”
“That the fellowship was awesome?”
“Yes, Lord.”
“That the nature was overwhelming? …breathtaking?”
“Yes, Lord!”
“And yes! I have even better things in store for you! More than you could ever imagine!”

I squeezed my eyes… put my hand on my chest…”How could I forget? I’m sorry, Lord. Thank you for what You have prepared for me.”
