I Put My Trust in Jesus



"I TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OF MY HEART."
I have accepted Jesus as both my Savior and Lord. He is my Savior because He died for my sins that separated me from God. He is my Lord because He leads the direction of my life. I have turned over everything and allowed Him to lead my life.

"I LEAN NOT ON MY OWN UNDERSTANDING."
Jesus said that He is, "The Alpha and the Omega" (Revelation 1:8). That means as God, He can see the beginning of all things as clearly as He can see the ending. With this knowledge, He is uniquely qualified to lay out a plan for my life. Jesus isn't making up things as He goes along. He knows where each and every step I take will lead.

"IN ALL MY WAYS, I ACKNOWLEDGE HIM."
I include Jesus, I seek His will, in all aspects of my life - not just the big decisions. I pray for His leadership, I have to read the Bible (What does the Bible say about a decision I am about to make? God communicates to me through His Word - James 1:22), and I have to see what circumstances He put before me to influence my decision (That could mean advice from a friend or hearing a message at church or events could take place that leads me one way or the other).

"AND HE WILL MAKE MY PATH STRAIGHT."
Life is hard to understand sometimes. Things happen to me every day that make me ask, "Why is it like this?" I must remember though that things don't make sense to me because of my perspective. I am seeing life one event at a time. So often, life seems to be a set of random events that aren't connected. But, the Lord knows how everything will turn out. From His perspective He sees how events are connected and promises that, "all thing work together for the good of those who love God" (Romans 8:28). Some lives are harder than others. I don't know why that is - only Jesus knows that - but I do know that no matter what life brings me, I won't be going through it alone. Jesus will be with me every step of the way.

Based on Proverbs 3:5-6

Just Saying!

I chanced upon this blog as I was 'Googling' and I realized that I have not written any post for the past year. When the pandemic happened and I started working from home, I thought it would be the best opportunity for me to start writing again. My excitement produced 2 blog posts, but that was it. Nothing followed. Fast forward to this time. Since I have some time to spare, let me just say this regarding what's happening out there. We are all tired of the quarantine life and wish we can go back to how we live before this virus came to being. We blame the government for all the inefficiencies and lack of foresight, insight and what not. We compare our state with other countries and their seemingly better response and outcome. We all have brilliant ideas on what to do and what should be done. We cannot even agree if face shields add a layer of protection or not! But do we really have to stress ourselves with all of these? Is it even worth the energy? Do we think something go...

The Beauty of Giving

It is heartwarming to read how people are coming together to help and support all those involved in this war against the corona virus 19. Indeed, the blessing in this crisis is the transparency of people and the willingness to help those in need without a second thought. We have proven once again that we can care beyond ourselves. Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift.   It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.

Changing our Attitude to Change

There is nothing permanent in this life. Everything  changes and whether we like it or not,  it impacts us. But instead of denying and resisting it, we should learn  how to accept it and move on. “We need to develop the habit of looking at whatever happens through a positive mindset instead of a negative, defeatist one.” Have faith that God has a purpose in everything that happens. We need not understand what and why now, but for sure in His perfect time, we will know it and be thankful about it.
