Church service after quite awhile

It's been really quite sometime since i last attended sunday service,if i am not wrong,it has been about 2-3mths? Most of the time,i have been unable to make it because of my shift work and on other occasions because i simply lost the feeling to go.Perhaps it is because of the distance or maybe because i don't really know anyone there now. Aniwae,it was really great to be back in the house of God today. The moment service started,i could just feel this electrifying feeling coming over me..The feeling that i believe is the presence of God,well at least to me because others have been telling me that they can feel His presence but so far,i have yet to really understand how it really feels.Well,nevermind that..Today's message revolved around how we bless and curse objects as well as people around our lives more often that not without being aware. As pastor had preached,we need not say "bless you" or "curse you" to be really blessing or cursing a person. Infact,according to the bible as pastor had showed us,acknowledging the presence of someone or something or in other words "giving weight" to them is infact a form of blessing. This applies to both the good or bad aspect of life,say our problems and the devil etc. By constantly being aware of all these,we unknowingly bless them and the bible mentioned that what we bless,will be multiplied and what we curse will simply just rot and fade away.

I guess it seems strange as to why i am talking about all these. But while listening to the sermon,i realised how true this can be used to apply to our everyday lives be it relationships or problems. Pastor also confirmed this. For example,if we had a problem in life and constantly dwelled upon it,sometimes we will never figure out the solution to it and on some occasions,the problem itself may even get worse. On the other had,if we were to leave the problems and believe that somehow,things would work it's way out,who knows? We may just come back to the situation one day and realise that the problem is already gone! Similarly,the case can be applied to relationships. A friend of mine had been sharing with me about how he had came out of a failed relationship a few months back yet till now,he has yet to get over the entire incident simply because he is constantly reminded about it and at times,he still thinks about the past. I felt that what was preached was really relevant in this area. The truth is,if we keep dwelling upon the past and not forget everything and just move on,we will never go on in life and we realise that whole thing just keeps coming back over and over again and one thing can lead to another. Before we know it,we will be facing a whole pile of it.On the other had,if we learn how to ignore those thoughts and just let go bit by bit,i believe that someday,things will just straighten out itself. I am not saying that it will be easy and neither am i a professional. I have been thru it myself and i noe how certain memories will come back,but when it does happen,i think the best way out is just to smile that once upon a time,things were like that and after that,just learn how to put things down slowly. I feel that this whole blessing and cursing message is so true as it's application is really endless and i am really still a student of it all,waiting for the message to sink deep into my heart.
