Its comforting to know that God is bigger than our mistakes. Just like a shepherd knows his sheep, dumb as they are. We are known. We matter to Him.

the other best thing

The other day I talked about my family and how they're one of God's best gift to me. The other best gift are the friends that I have come to know over the years.

I know a lot of people but only a few I can really call friends and they are the best people you'll ever meet. At least to me they are. Whether in Miri or Kuching or KL or Penang or Australia or in Europe or in the States, even in Nigeria. Some of the of them I don't even keep in touch with that often because I'm bad at these things (need to improve here) but it does not mean I don't value the relationship. Trust me I do.

I just feel so grateful to God for letting all these things happen and for the times we have shared and continue to share even now and in the future, I pray for a richer, fuller more meaningful relationship as we all grow into parents and grandparents by God's grace.

Dear God thank you for all my friends, those who come into my life and have left their mark. Those who stay, those who are near and those afar. I pray you watch over them and keep them from the evil one. Let your face shine upon them. Bless their going out and coming in, bless them in the field and at home. Bless the work of their hands. Let their prayers rise to you like sweet smelling incense and hear them when they call upon your name. Thank you dear God. Amen.

take hold of God

I started reading this book, well its more like a devotional after I went through a heart wrenching time in my life and it was exactly what I needed. It helped me pull through and gave me hope again.

I'm going through it again. Not the heart wrenching part but the book, er devotional. And again its been a constant challenge for me everyday as I read the bible and then the book.

The other day I was reprimanded about the way I use my time and it made me feel... can't find the word but I found out and it made me sad and small that God is grieved every time I waste my time. Today it was Ecclesiastes, young man, or woman, by all means enjoy your life but remember your creator. Don't go forgetting him now, and don't think you still have time because, I discovered, it takes a long long long time to get to know your creator.

Sometimes the word comes through as comfort, sometimes as a warning, other times as a reprimand. But its all good for your spirit. It doesn't just stop at making you think. It forces you to change, even though its ever so small. Its something.

I know this sounds like a promotion for the book, but I don't know how else to share it if not like this. But if there's a point to this post is to restate the title of this devotional, take hold of God and pull. I'm still learning how to do that.

thank God for family

I don't talk much about my family but I thank God for them. In many ways it have been one of God's greatest gift to me. Just thought I would share that.

Oh and by the way, is there a way to stop digi from sending me three smses all at once when I exceed a certain usage limit for the day? Its really annoying.

keep rejoicing

Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing! Philippians 4:4

How do you do it Mr. Paul? How do you do it?
