Breakthrough

Didn't have time to phrase in good English... so here goes what I shared to my life group last night.

A testimony I would like to share to encourage you all. 

At Greater Conference, we recall that we all live for a purpose greater than ourselves. Living for a life that God has called us to, knowing that we are actually God's daughter and sons... 

For me, I always knew that God saw me as His daughter... but after the conference, I was suddenly thrown into a deeper dimension of understanding about how God saw me. I knew I had to be secure, and I knew that God had a plan for me, and I always tried to do my best for God, yet not trying to please people. But I had also a subconscious unresolved issue of gaining approval from people. I believe that for many of us, we do struggle time and again, because of what the world tells us we got to be.

At the conference, our guest speaker illustrated how a discard cheap $2 painting was bought by someone who saw it to be a treasure painting worth $200,000,000. All of a sudden, the value of a discarded painting went up, because someone saw the good in it, and paid the price for it. At that moment, I saw myself like the $2 painting, which the world deems to be not good enough. Yet after Jesus paid the price for me, my value is now worth $200,000,000... actually even more - priceless, in the eyes of God... the author of my life, and perfecter of my faith. 

For that moment on, I was liberated and really felt a breakthrough in my personal walk and faith. Not just for myself to have this breakthrough, I also want others to experience what God really intends for them to have..

There's this renewing work God is doing in my heart. Do keep me in prayer.. :)
