Picked up my guitar and realized that it was out of tune. I took a longer time to tune it. Played the chords that I saved in my mobile phone and realized that I no longer could sing like how I used to be. Everything felt so unfamiliar all of a sudden.
I started playing all the chords which I used to play for cell group. Every chord progression brought back memories. I kept tearing but I don't know why.
I saw a familiar vision. A Man was sitting on the grassland, staring at the green scenery; waiting. So familiar. This was the place where I used to sit, waiting for this Man instead. This time He was already there, waiting. I went ahead to join Him and He asked "What took you so long? I have been waiting for you here."
A promise, a faithful one, fulfilled by this Man. "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
He showed me His hands and there were scars on His palms. He turned to me and said "I understand what you are going through." I remembered a verse.
Hebrews 4:15
"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
He understood what I was going through because He Himself have went through it. The world is an imperfect place where we are sent out as sheep among the wolves. And I remembered the scene which I saw in Taiwan, Qing Jing Farm. That sight which He wanted me to see to remember, forever remember, His promises.
Another Man came and joined us. He told me He has always been right beside me in every situation, circumstances, everyday and every second. He is there. He sat beside me and said "I will give you the direction and the words to say." He mentioned there are angels around to guard what I am doing; angels to help fight in the spiritual realm.
What more can I ask, when I had experience this unconditional love, everlasting grace, mercy and kindness. I just sat there, weeping, in between the two Man, each on my side. I could remember so clearly; the Holy Spirit was on my left while Jesus was on my right; both there to accompany me, ready to walk the journey with me all the way. Never leaving me, nor forsaking me.
Thank You...
Philippians 3:7-14
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
