Finding the true rest

Where can I go..from Your presence?
-------
Potato salad was great..yummy heh. The YEP pple polished everything up quickly. Was still feeling burdened, sad...and broken...I took 16 fr the hse back home, and as I was walking that stretch of road, this song, came into my mind. It was like the Holy SPirit's prompting:

YOU ARE THE PEACE
THAT GUARDS MY HEART
MY HELP IN TIMES OF NEEDS
YOU ARE THE HOPE
THAT LEADS ME ON
AND BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES
FOR THERE I FIND YOU WAITING
AND THERE I FIND RELEASE
SO WITH ALL MY HEART I'LL WORSHIP
AND UNTO YOU I SING

FOR YOU ALONE DESERVE ALL GLORY
FOR YOU ALONE DESERVE ALL PRAISE
FATHER WE WORSHIP AND ADORE YOU
FATHER WE LONG TO SEE YOUR FACE
FOR YOU ALONE DESERVE ALL GLORY
FOR YOU ALONE DESERVE ALL PRAISE
FATHER WE LOVE YOU
AND WE WORSHIP YOU THIS DAY


This was my fave song. I remember the first time I heard was in the old church, during powerhouse, and I was so touched, tat I could find the peace in God's presence.
I felt the Holy Spirit prompting, and reminding me of the past. I dunno why I said this prayer, but I said..God, tmr's worship, let them play this song, or at least smthing related.

Lo and behold..today's worship, Pastor Yong said, God is your PEACE. The bible says, the peace that God gives transcends all understanding.
And I began to weep like crazy, and God's love just came so strongly upon me.

God gave me an image...He picking me up fr the rubbish dump. And I feel like Tatty bear. Heh.

Pastor preached a wonderful msg. He said tat many ple think that rest is sitting there sleeping..stopping ministry. But he referred to Hebrews 4. Wat a wonderful revelation...tat true rest is the rest of faith=trusting God, trusting Him to fight your battles for you. And so that u gotto fight no more.

Thank You Lord.
I will be resting for some time..actually, I need to rest everyday. COmplete rest tat comes from YOU.


LOVE.PEACE.JOY.REST.MEEKNESS
