Bible verse
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Lets redefine pressure
If i don't get this out of my chest...well, whatever. but i just feel like sharing this. :) I attended amplify, thinking to just seek God. But nothing actually hit me till last Friday. So usual praise and worship first, then something like sharing. In any case, it sounds pretty simple. Its about pressure...and we're talking about the unhealthy ones.
So yeah, it was interesting to hear the speaker talk about her experiences and such. but that was that. then there were a few things that struck me.
Emotional pressure----------> reduce the CAPACITY to LOVE
you know why? cause love needs TIME.
thats so simple...and an example was given of: when you come home from a super bad and tiring day...do you snap at your love ones? honestly, i do. and i realize, thats when i can't even bring myself to love them.
Why is pressure dangerous?
- Prevents us from receiving love from God
- Prevents us from GIVING love
and the last part...well, it really hit home. that i cried...and luckily valerie was there with a packet of tissues. :) must remember to bring some when i go on fridays. lol.
Jesus will take me home, cause this is my temporary home!
