My journey from Hillsong Sydney

I came back from Sydney just a couple days ago
and it seem like things really did change
I was quite critical when they said
that the conference would be a life changing experience

Well, coming back from once
sure brought some transformation
in my faith
and spirit within

I never thought that
I'd be able to face one of my fears
I never thought that
I'd have the heart to let go

Something that I hold so dear
but I guess I'm learning to see
the hope that comes ahead with it
even when it brings pain

I learned about pain
Pain that could lead me to a better place
Pain as my personal companion
that would walk with me through my life

Pain that is not from my own stupidity
but the ones that comes from Him
The ones that would mould me
and mature me into a better person

I learned 3 phrases
that would carry me through my pain
thanks to Jentenzen Franklin
I have 3 phrases to preach to myself

"I am with you" says God, and
"I am at the bottom of this circumstance"
Last but not least, I am reminded that
"I am given enough faith for this"

3 phrases that I never thought
Would encourage me
and change my outlook and mindset
about the way I see things

How you preach to yourself is important
As much as when you preach to others
How you choose to live through your pain
Can bring you to greater heights

Lord, please help me through
step by step take my hand
I know for sure this time
That You do hear my cries

Help me remember
That You have not forgotten me
And that my salvation lies
in Your hands even when I feel lost

You said that I am never holding You up
Instead You were and are the one lifting me up
In Your victorious right hand
the One who carried me through
my darkest hour and greatest fall

Help me remember
Your faithfulness
Your love
Indeed that all these things remains:
Faith, hope and love.

But the most important one of all is
.LoVe.
