I was supposed to head to Iligan, to attend a vigil of my friend's mom, but I decided to attend the Christian Character Weekend Retreat instead. This time not as a participant but as one of the service team and also, to give moral support to my household sisters. I don't know why but I was set to leave for Iligan but something in me urged me to stay and attend the event. I guess God wanted me to once again be reminded of how it is to be like Christ. The genuine goodness of Jesus that should be emulated.
"Oh God, my Lord, Jesus Christ, forgive me. I have done many hurtful things to You. I haven't been as obedient as I liked to be. I have done things I am not proud of at all. I have allowed darkness to control me, to take me over. Yes, I am unworthy of Your sweet love. I am a sinner. Forgive me my Lord. May You find it in your sacred heart to forgive my sins, all my negativity. I lift it all up. I offer everything. I surrender. The hardness of my heart. The shattered pieces of my heart. I don't have anything to offer You but my brokenness. Empty my cup, oh Lord that You may once again fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Cleanse my mind. Purify my heart. Yes, Lord, set me apart for You. Because I want to belong to You. I am Yours and You are mine. Yes, Lord, my life, this life, this precious life You have gifted me, I give it back to You to glorify and praise You. You deserve all of praise. You deserve all my heart. You deserve all of me. You deserve the best of me. Simply because, You are the Best God. You are My Everything. Everything makes sense with You.You make everything worthwhile, oh God. You are everything to me. I love You. I thank You for being a wonderful, loving, patient, forgiving, amazing God! I shall want nothing more than to please you all my life, My Beautiful God!" - Vanz
This has been the first of my favorite slow songs since time immemorial. In moments when you feel restless, you can just listen to this song and you'll feel a whole lot better. I am a restless soul myself. I easily get anxious over little things. So whenever I here this, I am reminded to just be still and know that God is God. He has got me covered.
Receive God's peace today! Take care! :)
