Omni.. Omni.. Omnipresent? Ano daw??
God showed His power and majesty again as He concluded the St. Anne CLP and started the real journey of the participants. He is so faithful and loving to His servants. I can attest to this because He showed His truth once again to me thru this CLP.
One week before the St. Anne graduation while walking and talking to God, I was tempted to have these thoughts, ‘I always feel, see and hear You every second of my life. You always make me smile and You always guide me. How about the others? If you are with me, are you really also with them? Are you really omnipresent? Are you also talking to them the way you are talking to me? Or are you just a product of my imagination?’
He gave me the answer through the St. Anne CLP. One of the DGL sisters was hesitant to be a head. I tried my convincing powers which God allowed to work well with the other DGL sisters. Having a 2-0 point system with that approach gave me the confidence that she will agree to lead. Saturday morning came, the first sms that I read was from her, begging off to lead. Wow Lord!! What a way to start my day, with only 1 day left to graduation, what would you like me to do? I stopped, talked to Him again, started my day early and talked to Him the whole day. I broke the news to Ate Ellaine who was in Batam for the Discovery Weekend.
I didn’t reply to the sms right away. I prayed to God to tell me what to do. God made sure that it was a busy day with friends around to prevent me from acting on impulse that may cause more damage hehehe. In the afternoon, an idea popped in my head so I texted the sister. While hitting the send button I told God, ‘last attempt please bless this. I am lifting it all up to You.’ I also sent the same message to Ate Ellaine. Surprisingly, Ate Ellaine replied back telling me that it was the exact words that she would like me to tell the sister. This made me smile because I know that the idea came from Him because here is His affirmation. CRYSTAL CLEAR!!!
After a while, the sister texted me and this time it was positive. ALLELUIA!!!! She agreed to lead!!! I praised and thanked God!!!
Monday came, the sister sent me the story behind her ‘YES’ to service. She said that in Saturday, I believe it was between her morning SMS and my afternoon reply, God answered all her concerns. God fixed what ever it is that is hindering her to serve. This was the reason why she said ‘Yes.’
This is so surreal!!! I realized that God was working in the elders in Batam, God is working in me here in Singapore and God is silently working in the life of the DGL sister. This was happening all at the same time, happening to achieve His great work. Indeed, He is OMNIPRESENT!!! Who says the CLP is a battle being fought by the servants???? It was His from the very beginning.
This is what I love about Him. He never fails to surprise me. He always answer my questions in His own perfect time. He also knows how to answer me in a way I can understand Him. He never fails to put a smile on my face. He knows how to talk to me. He knows how to handle me. He knows me in and out. He knows me intimately. He loves me very, very much!!!!
Cheers to my one great loving God!! Who is everywhere, everytime and with everyone. :) I pray that you will spend the time to feel His presence always and in all ways.
