Recently, God has shown me his unfailing love through Romans 8:31-39 and Psalm 33. He shows me that his love for us is everlasting and it never fail, for nothing can seperate his children from the love of God. The beauty and the power of this love is that there is hope, joy, and peace from knowing that he cares for us and continuously guiding us to walk with him. There is also victory in him, as the result of the Father has given his only Son to graciously redeem us. I know that I can always put my trust in him and seek him, for his way is eternal and it will stand forevermore!
Attached is a video of the song "Our God" by Chris Tomlin
"and if out God is for us, then who could ever stop us, and if our God is with us, then what could stand against"

Look Up
"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory"
- Colossians 3:1-4
I am continually learning to accept delayed and the unexpected, which has some highs and lows. However, Colossians 3:1-4 has been a powerful reminder of looking up to the Lord above, and of putting my hope in Him. As a new creation in Him, my life belongs to Him, thus, my relationship with God can never be taken away, for his love is unconditional. I am glad that I can bring my burden to him, put my hope in him, and let him take control of my life through triumphs and trials.
Please pray that I will continue to put my trust in the Lord, to find strength in him, also learn to be content with his plan.
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whther well fed or hungry, whther living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength"
- Ephesians 4: 12-13
- Colossians 3:1-4

Set the heart on things above
"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set yout hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory."
- Colossians 3:1-4
Dealing with delayed can be difficult and discouraging sometimes. However, God is using this kind of situation to teach me about patience and faith, also to bring my focus back to him.

Live and move and have our being in the Lord
"From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being"-Acts 17: 26-28
Recent lessons on faith and patience are humbling and they challenge me to grow. It is not always easy to let God take control because of human nature, but God is really the one who is in control of every aspect of life. When my plan is not going as expected, God can certainly use this situation to draw me back to him and seek him. I need to keep looking up to the Lord and seek to live and move and have my being in him wherever I am.
Thank you Lord that you are near, and desire a close relationship with your children! What a wonderful reminder that God is here to have a relationship with him, to guide us and care for us!

God Will Make a Way
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
Song: God Will Make a Way

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.
