I just read another article from intouch.org about 2 Corinthians 3:1-6... I was so blessed by it :Click the link to view the article...

I know that the passage is for me because last night, I was having a dilemma on how to solve our apartment's problems. I was just appointed (informally) as the leader of the guys' room, but i feel very inadequate and incompetent to lead them. Not only am I the most undisciplined, I'm also not very authoritative (except with my contacts). Together with Drinian, who was in the past called shadowdude, I prayed and asked for wisdom from God. I know God gave me peace because I was able to sleep. The morning I woke up, I immediately thought of nice ideas for the apartment, and I know that they were not mine for my selfish flesh would not be inclined to conceive such ideas. I woke Corin and Mr. Beaver up and asked them if we can all have our qt at the same time (6AM during that time). Praise God because they were favorable in their response. After the qt, i told them about my plans for our room and I thank God because they were very supportive. I immediately had a bubbly kind of joy, an immense kind of love for the two, and a feeling as soft as heather. I shared my plans with Drinian and he was also excited about it. The only people whom I haven't talked to about it are Trumpkin and the Tisroc. I'm having problems relating with the Tisroc. I don't know how to talk to him about the room's issues because I feel that he doesn't want to talk to us openly. He usually keeps his comments to himself for a while and opens them to other people, which i think is not very healthy... I'm fearful that it might lead to chaos and hatred... I pray that the Lord will make a way for us to connect with Him. I'm really troubled about it... and oh.. I released forgiveness to someone today... God help me.

2 Corinthians 3

1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. 3You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

4Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. 5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
