Verse Vitae

          It was on a Sunday, September 29, 2013, we had a mini-reunion at home. My brother headed our little fellowship. Our verse for that night was Psalms 23, or should I say chapter of that night. He talked about his understanding behind that beautiful psalm. He explained that like a shepherd, God could go as far as disciplining us when we become astray, but in the end, we'll still receive the fullness of His love and compassion.

          I immediately remembered the times in which I was in doubt of God's love for me, wherein I was lost that I just couldn't feel Him with me. Most especially in times that I have sinned and felt that I am going farther and farther from Him. I didn't know then the essence of this verse, how this verse actually is for me. As it said,  "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters."

          I, as a Christian, shall rest assured.

          After the devotion, my brother lead us into prayer. As he started praying, I suddenly felt new. I felt the impact of the message of the verse on me. It made me feel secure, feel safe. My brother kept saying in his prayer that God really is wonderful, and that we know that He is and always will be there for all of us in times of doubt.


And that is how I chose my life verse, I hope that my story may somehow inspire you to come back to God and I also hope that you may have your own life verse.
