What I've Been Learning

After talking it out with T-Homie last night, I pieced together all that I've been learning the past few days. Hehe.

1. Mind and heart are equally important. What matters the most is the fact that BOTH OF THEM yield to the HolyGee. The HolyGee leads, the mind&heart follows. Apart from the HolyGee, whatever the mind thinks or heart feels is not according to His will.
2. Guard the intimacy I have with the Lord WITH ALL OF MY LIFE.
3. God is GOOD because GOD IS GOOD. It doesn't matter the circumstances. Yes, He delivers me daily! Yes, He allows me to feel His presence everyday! Yes, He pours blessings into my life. But this does NOT make HIM GOOD- HE IS GOOD BECAUSE HE IS GOOD. It does not depend on the circumstance. It's His character. He is good no matter what I go through. Believe.
4. There's no such thing as "fully satisfied" in Christ. There is SO MUCH about our GOD.. we only discover more and more. Being satisfied with Him is a continuous process. It's an ongoing life process :)
5. When God is silent and does not make His presence known, it means he TRUSTS US. He moves us beyond high mountain-top experience and fleeting emotions with Him. It moves into a deeper type of trust and intimacy- Faith.
6. The Lord disciplines because HE LOVES. When we are trained by His discipline, a HARVEST OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (these 3 words blow my mind away) and peace will result.
7. LOL. I don't have to be suffering to experience intimacy with Him. Silly girl.

8. Spirit-led and Spirit-driven is different. Just because it's Spirit-driven does not mean it's Spirit-led. Many times, burdens that God has specfically put in my life turn into something very personal.. something that is self-led and not Spirit-led.

P.S. Why do I blog so much?
