He's watching..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I mean it..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know many times I cried 'cos I feel sooo stressed out by tinks of the world..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I knw ppl will say i must have been making a big fuss out of nth...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Think abt it.. Have u ever felt in ur life...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lost..? Hurt..? Abandoned..? Un-loved..? Unwanted..?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I rmb when I was younger, I felt much of these.. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;even with a complete family, friends, education.. some ppl arent even able to go to school..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was my mum who one day said that she could not take my (bad) attitude in hand..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and prayed for me (together with me)...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ever since, my life changed.. I met someone in PK (children church) whom has been my friend for 5 years at least now... We still keep in touch though I've moved to Australia...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I used to admire how she can just have that love for God...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wished I could do that...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Coming here, we went to a charismatic church Swan City Church..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once, the thought of how steady my friend was in her faith in God..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I prayed a prayer in church - "God, if You would, please let me feel the presence of Your Love. Amen."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;True enough, the next Sunday we went to church, upon hearing (and singing) the song lyrics..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tears just flowed uncontrollably...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There was warmth in my heart..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And.. "Wow.. So that is what it's like.."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And im loving it.. knowing the love of God..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;how cool is that?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He has definitely blessed me and my family..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So how about you? Have you been praying and seeking God..?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He's there listening, that's one thing for sure...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even if He's silent.. He hears your cry and counts every tear drop that rolls down your cheeks..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stay blessed!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398210597721476952-1539355047325349342?l=justaseedoffaith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justaseedoffaith.blogspot.com/feeds/1539355047325349342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3398210597721476952&amp;postID=1539355047325349342' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398210597721476952/posts/default/1539355047325349342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398210597721476952/posts/default/1539355047325349342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justaseedoffaith.blogspot.com/2008/04/fathers-love.html' title='The Father&apos;s Love'/><author><name>[michelle] aka mic or pf</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398210597721476952.post-7192539401493040025</id><published>2008-03-22T05:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-22T05:07:48.407-07:00</updated><title type='text'>March 2008</title><content type='html'>Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit, be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks.
