God has a miraculous way of dealing with people. Over the past few months when God and people shouted into my ears, I hardly hear. Today and especially over the last week, as I sought Him - I realised He has not stopped shouting. Rather it is because I have started hearing.
I am grateful for the prayers that have been coming my way, especially with Xueyan's persistence and faithfulness, Weifu/Merlin's availability to lend me their ears and presence and to many others who have not given up on me.
Psalm 51 has never been clearer to me now. As David cried out on questioning by Nathan the prophet after David had "sent" Uriah to death and lusted after Bathsheba.
"For you do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it,
You are not pleased with burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
a broken and contrite heart,
O God You will not despise." - Psalm 51:16-17
How this song of worship came to life as I seek Him. Lord, may you seal this wretched heart for your courts above.
A broken spirit and a contrite heart
You will not despise
You will not despise
You desire truth in the inward parts
A broken spirit and a contrite heart
Lord my heart is prone to wander
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart
Lord, take it and seal it
Seal it for Your courts above.
Update: Forget to mention Pau Ping who has been my London's pillar of strength, encouraging me daily with God's Word and keeping me sane!
