The Essence Of God's Word

What happened

This is a very late and overdue update. But I'm happy for all who are reading this book. For that means more persons are coming to know about God and his marvelous works.

So last Saturday which was August the 20th I was selected to preach at church, as apart of our youth day. My A.Y. leader told me that it was to happen 2 weeks before. To say that I was nervous would be watering it down. But still as nervous as I felt I was still calm in a way because I know that I was chosen to present God's word. In the end I was happy that the Lord did not let me back out or fake an injury to get out of it.

But on the day I was shaking, I was nervous, confused and was filled with many mixed emotions. When Aunty Marsha called me to ask me how things were going, I broke down in tears out of nervousness and slight doubt.

She went on a walk with me and told me that she believes that I can do it. We went into her car to rehearse, before they called me up.

Before I went up I prayed and asked God to hold my hand. When I went up I was smilling and grinning with the crowd at first. I couldn't believe that I delivered the Lord's message so well that day.

I can now say with conviction, that the Lord held my hand.

The moral of the story is that no matter what God calls us to do, believe that he will see us through it. We shouldn't be afraid of His plan. I can speak of experience , but I now realize that it is better to accept God's plan for us than to be against it, because God doesn't want to harm us  but to love us care for us and give us a hope and a future.

I want all who are reading this to pray to God and ask him to help us accept his word into our hearts, and when we hear his word no matter how scary it might be to not harden our hearts. Pray that we'll all be able to accept the Lord in our hearts.
