as i read an email from a dear one this morning, tears just streamed down my face. evidently being touched by her faith and courage and even more so, how God speaks through people and how much He loves me.
the past few weeks (especially the last), has been one very difficult and challenging. thankfully by His grace, i am now recovering. no longer in utter darkness and loss but i am slowing seeing the light at the end of the valley. i can't help but be in awe of how God is in control over every area of our lives and how He loving us so much intervenes through the people around us. and through it, He has shown me how much He loves me beyond all that i do or can possibly do, just loving me for who i am to him.
for this very season, i want to draw in so close to Him. it seems to be a time to really go back to to the basics and the foundations of finding Him and just loving Him for who He is also. i am beginning to comprehend more and more of salvation by grace and not by works. as we get saved, we are not called to serve endlessly but one of a deeper relationship and love for God. everything else is and should be an outflow of that very love.
i thank God for all the encounters i have had with Him all these years to keep me from making decisions that would bring me to a place of no return. it has also showed me how much God means to me and that everything should pale in comparison to my love for Him, even for a spouse in future. sometimes the best way to learn is to really experience and undergo through it all.
i look forward to greater days ahead with my greatest lover in the whole universe - my Abba Father. i have no idea how i am going to navigate out of everything but one thing i know for sure is that so long i am holding onto Him, everything will work out fine, even down to the very details.
what more can i say then that i am blessed and His grace is truly more than sufficient for me. as i look back, He has cushioned every single thing that took place with His presence and His love. what more can i ask for to Him who is considerate and love for us is so faithful? and beyond it all, He has also placed people in my life that is here for me...
to the very one who said, I'LL RUN TOGETHER WITH YOU, NOT BEHIND BUT BESIDE YOU!, it is a privilege to have you running alongside me. and you touch me in ways beyond what you can imagine. thanks for the goodies, sms-es and the love that you have been showering me with. keep on strong in your love for God and running for Him and His purposes!
i'm thankful for fellow leaders, a boss that loves me as a lil sister, friends around who are willing to just go through with me, supporting me albeit oblivious of what has been happening and is happening. 真的谢谢有你们!
and i'm also thankful to have ended a chapter of my life proper yesterday. God has granted His serenity and helped me to see the bigger picture. and i'm looking forward to start a brand new chapter for a new season of my life and even more so, a new chapter in friendship in the time to come.
being called grace is really by His graceLabels: thoughts
