A dear brother of mine, Johnathan Sim [World Vision], is undergoing brain surgery this morning. Please pray for him and his family [wife Kelly and 2 beautiful kids as well as parents]. If you want to join the Living Faith Community Church in fasting and prayer, that would also be very much appreciated.

It’s a struggle at times…
making the right choices.
It would seem a no-brainer to choose the right things;
it’s not, at least not for me.
I am a coward
in the strangest of moments.
But…
I’m so thankful for the things God is bringing into my life
And it’s so clear that it’s Him…
…and there are things that make me wonder if it is God
but I doubt because I had to question if it was Him or not.
Because, I don’t believe in circumstance
I’m a hopeless romantic who believes in things like…
fate and destiny…
an idealist.
At the same time, our power to choose freely is at work
and I am ultimately responsible for the consequences
of my choices to act or not.
…learning to be a realist.
Nothing is guaranteed in life,
Except the love of God – unconditional
and the salvation that results
from accepting Him as my Lord and Savior.
My sins are washed away
And I am a new creation.
God is good.
…just some thoughts circulating in my mind.

What is it about the human condition that requires learning to take place the hard way? “If only…” words that rouse so many emotions in me, I can’t begin to describe the going’s on inside.
I need healing…
…but only need to reach out and touch His cloak.
I need guidance…
…but only need to listen as well as obey His voice.
I need uplifting…
…but only need to ask, “Help” and be within grasp of His hand.
I need purpose…
…but only need to answer “Yes” to His commission…
…His commission uniquely designed for each citizen-to-be of Heaven.
Answers to our needs are there… but always the tendency to ask the trivial questions about “me” and petition for what I think are needs. “If only…” I’d concede every time to the Spirit’s leading…
Lord,
Let not my heart drift from yours,
even a little.
Keep me near that I may know
the desires of Your Heart
for those around me
and me.
It is love and always love
and for each to have his fill of it.
May my heart and mind be a blend
of love without conditions
grace without expectations
centered on
the Lover of my soul.
Lack of worth ineffable;
deserving only death,
anything good in life
is a perfect
gift.
Mercy me.
