Recently, one of my friend suggests this song called "God will make a way", I find this song encouraging after listening to it. It reminds me again to seek him and look to him as I continue on my life journey, for he is the one who knows what is ahead and is more than able to pave the way.
"Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guides me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long." -Psaml 25:4-5

Forgiveness and love from God
Throughout the past few week, I was struggling to fully put my trust and faith in God in the partnership development process. I became frustrated and discouraged, and felt sad about a sense of failure. Overall, there was a battle of despair and deception.
After some quiet time last night, I realized that it was my pride that served as barrier to rely on God, I was trying to hard to achieve and make things happen on my own. I needed to confess my sin and brokenness to God, and asked for forgiveness. After bring my brokenness to God, there is forgiveness, mercy, grace and love from God. I realized how beautiful are God's love and grace (Psalm 25: 6-7; Psalm 103).
Thank you Lord, for your love, compassion, grace and mercy. Continue to lead me to seek you, to look to you for grace and hope in you. Thank you for giving your children everlasting satisfaction in you.
Psalm 25:6-7
6 Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, LORD, are good.
Psalm 103
1 Praise the LORD, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the LORD, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the LORD, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the LORD, my soul.
