it's vera! =)

quiet time's the only time one can restore all the lost energy,
all the lost motivation,
all that's lost will stand renewed - in the presence of God. =)

faith that's lost
now stands renewed.

faith, confidence, strength, motivation.
these were what ran through my mind for the entire common test week.
when i needed the motivation, i knew i have it in that secret place.
when i lacked that strength, i knew i have it in those whispered words.
when i was drained of confidence, i knew i have it in that Holy Book.
when i was faithless, He's always faithful.

and if you were challanged to close your eyes & walk depending totally on His whisper, would you take up the challange?
yes i would. and i did.
then i realised how much fear and doubt i had.
the fear of banging into unknown items - or even the known ones.
the doubt of getting out of the place/situation unhurt, the doubt that the words i hear were real.

yes, you would knock into things... because you doubted.
yes, you would be tempted to open your eyes, but you still try to close them... because you feared.

it's only when you have total faith and zero fear that you would close your eyes and walk confidently, trusting that God would deliver you.
but i realised that we'll start with confidence, but as time passes, we start to fear...

but...
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
