giving God my best

Just now after I finish gym (2hours workout, not bad!), switch on the tv while I'm resting. Pastor Credo Dollar was preaching. something he said caught my attention. He say" if you want God's power in your life, it is not free, it comes with a price. ru willing to pay the price?"

I have been trying to finish this book, "I kissed dating goodbye" by Joshua Harris. I read about this just now. 

"Many of us walk through life plagued by the question 'Has God given me His best?' But the question that we must answer first is ' am I giving God my best?'

You and I will never experience God's best- in singleness or in marriage-until we give God our all. We've help onto old attitudes, foolishly clutching a lifestyle that the world tells us will bring fulfillment. God asks us to hand it all over to Him"

many times in life, I struggle to give God my all. it is not becaz I do not want to give him my all, it is because I have always been thinking abt the worldly pleasures. going to club on weekdays when Im in Singapore, enjoying my every moment with my friends. is it really time to seek first his kingdom and righteousness? but then, when I go out with my friends, my first intention is really to build up some bonds, some meaningful relationships. I am making changes in my life right now, to live a better life. A life that have planned by Him.

This week its like going through the desert, I haven't heard from Him (at all?). ha..issit bcaz I have filled my time wth alot of activities? (like real. I dun even have plans in LAX. I was reading books, going grocery shopping, chatting. I dun even have time to watch TV.) or issit tat im too blind to see Him? (spiritual eye gone blind?) or issit tat my sins have hinder Him getting to me? (sinful nature)

my prayer before I sleep
Dear father in heaven, look down rite now into my heart. can you see me? I submit myself into your loving hands. Father, I have been longing for you, I want to meet you again. Help me to face my everyday challenges and difficulties, give me the strength to conquer my own demon, my weaknesses. Father, you are my strength and my refuge, you are the Savior of my soul, I pray Lord, that you refresh my mind, soul and body. I want to drink from you again Lord, I want to experience you in my life again. Bring me out from this dry desert, I dun wan to walk on it anymore. Help me Lord. Anoint me with Your fresh oil dear God. Give me a good nite rest tonite. thank you father, thank Jesus for a beautiful day. In the name of Jesus, amen. Thank you Jesus.
