Yesterday was the worst day in this entire week so far. What a bad start to the 2nd semester.

I just found out that one of my friends had a stead (names will not be mentioned). Someone else told me earlier, but I just shook it off. The impact came yesterday. I'll be honest here. I got a crush on that person. I like that person a lot... the way she smiles, how understanding she was, etc.

When I heard that, I felt so weird. Half of me was congratulating her (in my thoughts) while the other half was jealous. And, yes I know that I done up a post about infatuation and stuff, but I felt really weird, and my mind went blank.

Is it the devil? Is he giving me the vengeful spirit? The rest of yesterday passed without me knowing what was actually going on.

It could be me. Or is this normal? Just now, before I started drafting this post, I was reminded of the CG lesson about BGR. And I felt better after that.

I think when this kinda thing hits you, the only way to find rescue is through Jesus. Here below is a psalm written by David

Psalm 91
(1) He who dwells in the shadow of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
(2) I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
(3) Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
(4) He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
(5) You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
(6) nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
(7) A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
(8) You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
(9) If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the Lord, who is my refuge -
(10) Then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
(11) For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
(12) They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
(13) You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
(14) "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
(15) He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
(16) With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Will God ever say this (verses 14-16) about us? Are we living a life that the world entertains? Or are we living a life that God wants? I do not know about you, but I'm still towards the former. The path is never easy. To live a life that honors Jesus is difficult. But, it is so worth it.
