Psalms 91 is such an awesome chapter of encouragement and tells abundantly of God's love.
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge-- 10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him."
Psalms 91:1-15
I wish I could have spent more time meditating on this before! Bring a huge smile across my face!
Call unto me
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile." Jeremiah 29:11-14
This has been one of my favourite verses since I can remember but just in the last month, I have been shaken up a bit in my spirit man and reminded time and time again in such a short span of time, confirmed by multiple people that I need to move beyond this into Jeremiah 33:3.
3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' Jeremiah 33:3
As I seek to continue to digest and apply this in my life, I pray windows of heaven will open and as God closes one door, he surely will open another.
My eyes remain on the cross. He is my shield, and all I feel is peace and joy, all over me, I can hardly contain it.

God verses Mortal
Isaiah 54:17
New King James Version (NKJV)
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
God is real.

One week on
One week on, and the glory dust is still upon me.
As I went for Tuesday Group last night, I prayed for restoration, God's promise of restoration, and for him to USE MY HANDS more, to use me as a vessel to be sent out to the nations for His glory.
How great it is the rest in the presence of God, to see signs and wonder manifest on my palms. It's only me, I tell God. But He can indeed use the little we have for his glory. No gift is ever too small for Him to you. We just need to be available. An available and willing heart is fertile ground for God to use and send forth.
I am truly humbled and honoured that I, in my own way can use these palms to touch the lives of others. Brother Jeff asked me to pray for that similar anointing on 3 other sisters in Christ in the group and by the grace of God, He revealed himself true to them as well! Sister Tammy had her entire palms shining and glittering with glory dust. Oh how the Lord loves His children, he rewards them and shows Himself real to those who earnestly seek Him.
I have never been so close to God in my entire life before. I feel as though I am breathing Him, living Him, Walking in his light and his plans (finally). It took be a very very long time to get here, it was a major struggle. But I know this is the beginning of an awesome journey with my heavenly Father. I am bubbling with joy every moment despite my circumstances, I feel as if living in His will alone gives me strength to conquer EVERYTHING, no weapon formed against me will prosper! There is tremendous joy and excitement being in the presence of God. Men can ridicule, but I am willing to be that fool for Christ, as long as it pleases Him!
I DO NOT regret anything in my past -- this was a revelation to me yesterday as I walked home from the MRT station. There have been things I have done that I feel ashamed and sorry for, things that I will crucify on the cross. But if not for these past circumstances, I would not have been so broken in spirit that I have no choice to come into God's presence and cry out in repentance and mercy. And it was only in my brokennes, in the place of refuge, or total despair, that God saw the little I had left, stretched out His hands of mercy and rescued me, made me whole. Yes I am angry at what I have allowed myself to be put through in the past, but TRULY it was only because of these experiences that I knew I had no one else to turn to buy God. And that is where he showed Himself faithful and true.
I would go through the pain all over again, the sadness, the sorrow, the despair, the hopelessness again for You, Lord, if it is what it takes for me to enter into Your presence. I never want to leave this beautiful place. It is amazing! You, truly are in the business of transformation!
All glory and honour goes to you! Till the race is finished, and the work is done, I walk by faith and not by side.

Gold Dust
I was born to worship, and nothing less.
I left the arcade with gold dust on my hands. May I forever remember this day, when God has showed me that Heaven in indeed real!
I said "show me you love me and show me you remember me" and He left me with a bit of heaven.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Yes it is hard to see how your life now revolves around another person, but I am getting better by the day. And like a child, I am pulling out one splinter- one at a time each day, until one day there will be no more "sting".
I feel stronger, almost like a phoenix rising out of the ashes. I feel as if pain cannot penetrate my core anymore. I lie awake in the morning to the buzz from my alarm clock and as I bury my head in the sheets, and immediately turn on my cell phone to tune into worship songs.
Ahhh.. mornings are amazing, starting them with Jesus.

Lesson for today
Love TRUMPS all. EVERYTHING. There is nothing that can stand against the power of LOVE.
And I say that from the bottom of my heart, every sinew of my being; every fibre of my body.
How do I know? Because I have experienced the perfect love of God; now I am able to share it with everyone. Be it a friend, a foe, a stranger, someone who has hurt me in the past, people who will hurt me in the future.
And how do I know I am being and growing stronger in Christ? Because it is getting easier and easier to love everyone around me. It is easier to open my heart, it is easier to ask myself "What would Jesus do" and it is easier to obey that still, small voice inside my heart. That time and time again, tells me that LOVE TRUMPS ALL. And this must be the complete and overwhelming love of Christ.
Thank YOU for making me a better person, and thank YOU for moulding me to be more and more like YOU. And thank you, above all, for loving me.
1 Corin 13: 13
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
