Zzam!! Talk about God hearing my prayers. Just typed the prev entry, then I went to check my yahoo for any email from sister Irene, and it's a rare thing for me to read the zjam bible study email because they always send me the email one day late. Well, since they sent me today's bible study, I thought I might just as well read... and wham! It spoke right to what I just prayed (italics in the prev entry):

"So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with
armloads of blessing." - Psalm 126:6

When God calls us to do something great for Him, many times the cost to us and those around us is great. That is when we have to decide whether we're going to make that sacrifice to do God's will or whether we're just going to go do our own thing. This verse shows us that when we make that sacrifice, we're naturally going to feel heavy hearted because of the decision. However, that sacrifice won't go without reward. We will "come home laughing, with armloads of blessing." We reap what we sow. If we only put a little into it, we're only going to get a little back. However, if we put everything into it, we're truly going to be blessed! Surrender your all to God today and wait for His blessings to rain down. John 15:5 says, "I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing."

Woaa... God is indeed real, and He's really great!!! :D
