I'm just amazed!

I’m just amazed how God speaks to me.
Ever since the burglary incident, I have not really face my own emotion. I just choose to run away and not to think about it.
I keep telling myself I'm fine.
But yesterday, everything just burst out! All my mixed emotion!
I just put a sad face in my facebook status and 2 people sms and 1 wrote in my wall and ask whether I’m ok.
Jo spent his precious time to talk to me.
He’s really an angel from God.
And…this morning I read of this passage. (it’s so much related from what Jo said to me last night)
I’m just so amazed!
How can I not think that He’s a God who cares.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


"I’m learning that our ability to help others depends largely on what we’ve learned in the tough times of our lives. People are more likely to see God’s power working in our weakness than in our strength. The apostle Paul discovered this amidst his own struggle. He pleaded with God to remove some unidentified problem from his life, but he learned in the process that experiencing God’s strength in his weakness is what he really needed. This inner experience strengthened Paul at a level that he had not expected. But even though it worked for him, he wasn’t merely relying on his experience. His deeper confidence was in the historic resurrection of Christ from the dead. Paul was so convinced that our experience must rest in the truth that he wrote, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preachign is in vain and your faith is in vain… If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Corinthians 15:14,19). When it comes to having hope and confidence amidst our disappointment, what really help is to know the truth of who Christ is and what He has done for us." ~ quoted from Our Journey

Besides this, there are a few songs which I saved in my office pc 2 days before I lost my pen drive. I have been listening to it everyday repeat, repeat and repeat. But I have not noticed or paid attention on this particular song.
Yet, this morning when I played it, this song “God will Deliver” by Lee Williams Brothers, just strucked me.
I suddenly realized how wonderful the lyrics is, so I just on it louder and really listen to this songs.

~lyrics~
When you're burdened down and it seems like the weight of the world's on your shoulder,
don't despair, God really cares

When you've done your best and it seems like you've done nothing at all,
don't give up, God won't let you fall

When it seems like all hope is gone
Remember God is still on the throne
And He will deliver
On Time
On Time

When your bills are due and your money is gone, and it seems like you can't make it alone,
don't despair, cause God really cares

When you've done all that you can do and all your plans fail to go through,
don't give up, God is watching over you

When it seems like all hope is gone,
just remember, remember, remember,
God is still on the throne and he will deliver
On time

God will deliver
On time
Oh Oh Oh
God will deliver
Yes He will oh oh
God will deliver
Sure enough deliver
On time
God will deliver
God will deliver
He'll do it everytime

I just like to say to all the non-believers today.
If you have doubt in your mind that God will deliver,
go pick up a bible and read Daniel the 3rd chapter, 25th verse.
When he delivered Shadrach, Meshack and Abendego from the fiery furnace,
don't tell me God won't deliver.

If you don't believe, read John the 11th chapter, 43-44th verse
when he spoke to Lazarus and he stopped out from his grave.
Don't tell me God won't deliver.
You can read on a little further, Mark the 6th chapter, 38-44th verse.
When he took 2 little fish and 5 loaves of bread and fed 5,000
I know He will
I know He will
Yes He will
Yes He will

And those of you out there that's been down on your sick bed
and you know, you know, you know
God healed your body
You ought to be a witness right now that He will heal you,
He will heal you,
He will heal you
Oh oh God will deliver on time,
aint' no doubt in my mind
Yes He will
Yes He will
Yes He will
I've tried Him.
I know what I'm talking about.
Oh yeah, the Lord will deliver on time.

I’m amazed!
I’m just amazed!
