“Having Faith”



I’m just so impressed with Him up there. Life for me has been tough over the last couple of months. But I just want to take a moment here, in the midst of all the buzzing to profess God’s amazing faithfulness.

Too often times what happens is that we do ask for divine help; sometimes it comes, other times it doesn’t. For me, I try my best to look at every hardship or issue as an opportunity for God to work to me. However in the midst of all my difficulties and struggles, there have been hope and prayers answered, but more importantly, and what really strikes me the most, is God’s faithfulness to an unworthy and somewhat so-so holy guy. I mean at one end it’s wonderful to see your prayers being answered, but if you look back and just count the blessings that has been poured out to you, aren’t you so glad that there is Someone who is still faithful to you , even though you’re not? The very fact that He still chooses to be faithful is a thought that just baffles me and at the same time inspires me and brings me to my knees. Paul writes in Timothy in 2 Timothy 2 :13 that..“If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself”

What this means in essence is that God, by very nature is faithful. It’s just who he is! Now, I go on with my life, not worrying what decision to make. I will just wait on how He will make all things for my good, according to His purpose. That’s the beauty of having faith!

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.
