in the midst of my freaking out because of two exams i have to take tomorrow (and bombing THE HARDEST EXAM i took yesterday).. i’m reminded that the LORD IS FAITHFUL and He knows.
This week has been full of sadness, loss, and hardship. I’ve caught my self “groaning” in my heart (and out loud HAHA) for lost hearts and my own. He’s rekindle a bit of compassion that i had forgotten.. opening my eyes to see beyond the natural, and reminded me that He who has called me is FAITHFUL and WILL do it.. there’s a yearning to hold onto His steadfast promise and mercy.
Often times.. I can’t say anything though, typically this week… BUT the best thing about this “jesus” thing is that HE KNOWS. It’s so disgustingly simple. When I think I’m doing my best to intercede and ask God so that He might be moved in His infinite grace.. the Spirit Himself makes intercession FOR ME. HE KNOWS ME. You know when you want someone to understand SO badly what you’re saying/going through.. when you’re trying to explain to someone with words but it doesn’t and can’t hold the depth of what you want to say.. it’s so frustrating!! BUT JESUS KNOWS EXACTLY. i don’t have to pray for a looooooong time to get perfectly what i want Him to know, but HE KNOWS.
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27
what a beautiful shocking work of grace and perfection. oh jesus.. your love goes deeper still.

Psalm 139…i was meditating on this passage all last night and it was =D
Wow, I just read this entry but I love it. He he : ) I’ve felt that way too. A deep groaning in the deepest part of your soul, a stir of passion and grief and joy and excitement that words can’t express. But God IS faithful! He is very very very faithful. Even in our own stumbling, or a lack of clarity, God is always moving forward and working for the good of those who love Him. He will bring you out to your great destiny
