Love that knows no time and space

Every time I feel alone, every time I feel so exhausted, powerless and unworthy I cling to the truth that God loves me. God loves me in my blissful hours of sleep. He still loves me at the break of dawn while I still struggle to catch the sleep that had eluded me in the past night.

But why oh why that whenever I'm gripped with fear, struggles to cling on to dear life and walk in sin, I neglect His love and abandon his commandments?

It's so easy to forget, it's so easy to dismiss when time and place seems to be not the right time nor the right place.

Remember the cross two thousand years ago. Realize that His son lived amongst us. Pierced, bleeding, crying - asking why his Father had forsaken him - to die on the cross for the sins of all men.

What do I deserve to receive such kind of love.

Love covers a multitude of sins. A life not lived for others is nothing. His perfect love cast out fear.

The cross bears them all.

Let's all abide in His love all the days of our lives.

Sustaining Us through His Grace

The last two months have been very busy for me. God sustains us even at times we fail to aknowledge nor be aware of His presence in our daily existence. Forgive us Lord. May we always abide in You.

Burning Coals that Glow

It's cold and the only comfort you can find is the heat emanating from a few pieces of burning coals. But sooner or later the coals will slowly loose heat and embers will run out of its glow. It's cold again. But the burning hearts of those who believe and have faith in God will remain strong if only they stay together. Very much like the coals that provided heat and comfort in a cold winter night, embers glowing strongly and giving off the much needed heat - we, the Body, will glow strongly, only if we remain in Him who sustains us. As one we can become stronger - each one providing comfort and warmth to one another.

Duty to Delight

How can we turn something out of duty a source of joy and delight. It all begins from the heart. A grateful heart brings forth a compassionate hand to care. A grateful heart prods our mouth to speak comforting words. A grateful heart moves our feet to seek people who have no knowledge of the joy we know. A grateful heart leads to action.

Who is the center of your delight? May your duties be not out of obligation. May you fulfill them from your heart with pure delight.



Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4

Change

Everything change. Seasons change, people change, circumstances change. With all these changes, God is the only one who remains the same. He is never changing, yesterday, today, and forever. Hold on to that truth. This truth helps you know who to depend to. Changes in seasons may take you by surprise, people you thought you've known may become an entirely different person in mere seconds, the circumstances you're in right now may turn up side down, but our God our Father still remains the same. All things to Him are known, every season, every day, every second.

Forgive

Forgiveness, what a hard word to say and act upon. But come to think of it, if we look at it as breathing in and breathing out, it becomes automatic. As much as breathing makes us continue on living, forgiving also give us zest to continue with our lives and move forward.

Starting Again

I'm set to start a new job next Monday. I'm sad because I'm leaving behind some friends, I'll surely miss them.
