Isaiah 51: 11-16

11 The ransomed of the LORD will return.


They will enter Zion with singing;

everlasting joy will crown their heads.

Gladness and joy will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee away.



12 "I, even I, am he who comforts you.

Who are you that you fear mortal men,

the sons of men, who are but grass,



13 that you forget the LORD your Maker,

who stretched out the heavens

and laid the foundations of the earth,

that you live in constant terror every day

because of the wrath of the oppressor,

who is bent on destruction?

For where is the wrath of the oppressor?



14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free;

they will not die in their dungeon,

nor will they lack bread.



15 For I am the LORD your God,

who churns up the sea so that its waves roar—

the LORD Almighty is his name.



16 I have put my words in your mouth

and covered you with the shadow of my hand—

I who set the heavens in place,

who laid the foundations of the earth,

and who say to Zion, 'You are my people.' "

Emotional Attachment

Came home about 4pm.

Woke up at 430am to see my brother off to the airport and went back to sleep.
Went to church at 920am for the pre-service prayer meeting.
Went to 11am service.
Went for lunch around 130pm.

I think it must have been more than a month since I last came home so early on Sunday.

But the feeling I had after reaching home..the same feeling that I had many times after coming back from church even when I was still in Korea...I don't know how to describe it.

It's a big contrast to the super high feeling I have during service and while I'm with my church friends.
When I reached home I feel a bit down...don't know why.

The more I mix and mingle with my Cell friends the more I like them and the more I want to be here. Yet the more emotionally attached to this place I become the harder it will be for me to leave...

Leaving Korea wasn't that difficult to some certain extent because I thought I'd be back very soon...
Hmm...probably I was tricked by God...or probably He just wanted me to say good bye easier...

7 more months...
