GOD: "I can't make you love me"
Satan: "You will never get through the christian life"
GOD: "It's not about you"
Satan: " These people are thinking you are a fake"
GOD: "There are no excuses"
Satan: "You're really gonna do that?"

Humpfh..............was that YOU talking Jordy, or someone else?
I AM SO not convinced you mean that.............!!!!
Here's my thoughts on what God really says
GOD: "Do you have any idea how much I really love you? I gave my Son for you!! So you and I could be in union!!
GOD: "You are the apple of my eye. You are my child. You are precious in my sight. I know everything about you. I have your name engraved in the palm of my hand. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in my own image. You are my treasured possesion. I love you with an everlasting love, and it is my desire to lavish my love on you. NOTHING will every seperate you from my love.
GOD: "I gave up everything I love that I might gain your love. If you receive the gift of my Son, you receive me. Just believe.................."
Crazy
You think I'm lovely, beautiful
The best You've ever seen
They say I'm crazy, gullible
'Cause good I've never been
I say I don't care 'cause I know
Who the Father sees
That's why it's all about You
And not about me
They say I'm crazy, crazy
Crazy to believe
Oh, yeah, I'm crazy, crazy
Crazy to believe
But I say I don't care 'cause I know
Who the Father sees
That's why it's all about You
And not about me.

Hey, Jordan,
I agree with Lyds. Who TOLD you that sh*t?? Not the LOVER OF YOUR SOUL! Seen The Passion of the Christ lately?
Have you ever read The Divine Romance by Gene Edwards? READ IT!!!
Quit trying, my friend. Quit THINKING! Just believe. I know it's HARD. Trust HIS LOVE, not your own. Trust HIS GRIP, not YOURS!
Praying for you...here's the strange and beautiful part...Jesus has got you, EVEN NOW! Held close while you feel lost...He's RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. Just TRUST HIM. LET GO NOW!
Jamie,
Don't sing that song when I'm not around. I mean it.
Jordan,
It's like I said - you never come to a place of seeing his love before you believe. You just have to be insane enough to believe it without seeing.
Jordan,
God still loves you!
I think He will reveal His love to you. I didn't see it for almost 30 years in my life. God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes it require us to reach the end of our own ropes, to see His love. But it is there.
Hope you will continue writing, asking questions, sharing your doubts, confusions etc. Its not unusual to have skepticism. But the thing is, if you have a desire to see His love, He WILL reveal it to you. I don't know when, but He WILL.
Much grace,
Bino.
Hey Jody
Sometime in 2003, I impetuously left my job and walked out after a quarrel with my boss.
The next 6 months were monthly of torture as I tried to find another job. I had responsibilities to my family as my dad was retired and my sister's business is unstable with no regular income.
We were relying on my mom's salary alone and I felt really bad that my temper got ahead of the realities of life.
It was particularly difficult as Singapore had a SARS outbreak which brought the economy to a standstill and no one was hiring.
Along the way, I explored studying for MBA since I couldn't work. I was offered a job and dropped the next day when a better candidate turned up.....It was terrible and a lot of times, I was disappointed with the Lord and my faith fluctures.
Through it all, Pastor Prince's message that GOD IS GOOD and TO HAVE A CONFIDENT EXPECTATION OF GOOD FROM THE LORD bore me through the difficult time.
Before Jesus left this earth and rose to heaven, he said specifically " LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED ". Whenever my heart is heavy, I keep repeating this to myself and against all those heaviness, I grit my teeth and refuse to fall into worry.
The heaviness will go away and the peace of God will fill me. Then it will appear again and I will keep believing God and let my heart not be worried. I refuse to dwell upon the problem to live in positive expectation of good from Good God.
6 years now, I am a Private Banker with a pretty nice salary. The road was not easy all the time but as I refuse to be bogged with my troubles, I find that less and less things faze me.
The most recent challenge to my faith was 4 months ago when my ex-company cheated me of over $200,000 in bonus payments. I was sad, disappointed and I believed God for good yet ... what good is from losing $200,000 ?
3 months down the road, I am in a new job with a 30% pay increment and a set of lovely new bosses .....
I believe Jesus didn't send the reminder on Let Your Heart Not be Troubled for nothing. I deeply believe that the bible principles of blessings from the Lord rests upon our heart not being worried.
I think worrying and being frustrated shuts down the pipe of blessings flow from heaven.
So, its difficult my friend -- hang in there.
Jesus has already poured your new job down the pipe ... you just need to open that with "rest" and wait it out with a peaceful heart.
God is good, be confident of it all.
Jordy, I came across your blog yesterday and I was saddened to see that you had decided to stop blogging.
I am not going to 'preach' to you. As far as I can understand after reading some of your recent postings you have been asking all the normal stuff of God when a believer goes through a tough time. I would say that I am a believer who doesn't doubt but sometimes gets confused.
It was encouraging to see that you mentioned Joseph Prince. Over here, in north east Scotland, I am involved with a small fellowship that bases its teaching on the Grace Message. I do find it a little difficult when we speak about prosperity but we need to realise that prosperity is just not about financial or material gain.
Jordy, I hope and pray that you are 'hanging in' and that you will be blessed. Our God is longing to have a relationship with you.
Jordy, I hope you check me out at http://simplydave.wordpress.com and I hope you will feel able to contact me.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
ps:even if you do not want to blog again I hope you will feel able to contact me.
