The sky's the limit



Cobwebs, cobwebs ...

It has been some time since I blogged and I have recently been hounded. Hahah. The thing is, as a matter of practice (thought not necessarily a hard and fast rule), I only blog when inspired to do so. Witness the return ... hahah.

My devotion this morning reminded me of something I had known for sometime, but perhaps taken some time to internalise: God is faithful.

'Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies.' Psalm 36:5

Amen. Father keep my eyes always upon You, O Lord in Heaven, in my heart.

A few updates on what has happened this past one month plus into the new year:

(i) I had a refreshing family holiday (which I enjoyed more than I expected) in Langkawi;

(ii) Prospects of an exciting new ministry in BUC;

(iii) Christian Fellowship in KDU has really taken flight;

(iv) Loved ones are safe and all accounted for;

(v) Presentation and assignment for my LLM at UM went well;

(vi) Made a fresh resolution this year: to truly go deeper into Jesus and to come to know Him more intimately, just to understand and appreciate what it is to BE His child, and just to BE;

(vii) Attended a seminar on how to deliver sermons/messages, which I shall put into practice ... in future, some where, some time ...

Yes, God is so faithful!

Recently, the lyrics and positive message of Josh Groban's latest offering, You are loved, has started to grow on me. Powerful lyrics, beautiful melody and a strong voice ...

You are loved (Don’t give up)

Don't give up

It's just the weight of the world

When your heart's heavy

I, I will lift it for you


Don't give up

Because you want to be heard

If silence keeps you

I, I will break it for you


Everybody wants to be understood

Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved

Don't give up

Because you are loved


Don't give up

It's just the hurt that you hide

When you're lost inside

I, I'll be there to find you


Don't give up

Because you want to burn bright

If darkness blinds you

I, I will shine to guide you


Don't give up

It's just the weight of the world


Don't give up

Everyone needs to be heard


You are loved

I can imagine that would be something our beloved Jesus would sing to us.

All praise and glory to You Lord, because You deserve all that and so much more glory.

You are loved too, Lord Jesus. :)

Truly God's faithfulness reaches to the skies. Oh what a deep statement!

God bless you all.
