Heavy heart

I dare not take it for granted that God, You are someone I can always turn to when my heart is heavy. 

2016 Thanksgiving

I am thankful to God for year 2016. There were ups, there were downs. Being in University has never really been easy for me, where there were many many times I needed to step out of my comfort zone. So often have I fell short of God's standard: thinking, saying, and doing things which are not pleasing to God; having an undesirable attitude; doubting Him despite what He has done in my life. In spite of my iniquities, I had the privilege to be able to work with and for God to do mission work, be part of Cru's Vision Tea team, serve in Church, as well as to lead someone to pray to receive Christ into his life. This year, I've experience the joy of serving Him out of obedience. And that is God's love and grace for me. God's unconditional love - regardless of what I do or what I do not do, God still loves me. Grace - receiving that which I do not deserve. 

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) This is God's love and grace for us.

During the watchnight service, many testimonies of thanksgiving were being shared. What an indescribable feeling, seeing how God has been faithful in my life and in the lives of my brothers and sisters in Christ. How immensely comforting it is to know that someone as great and mighty as my God, has been with us and seen us through the big and small things of the past year.
