I saw my wife’s pjamas on the bed, and I remembered a good friend’s post that he kept his mum’s clothes unwashed for many many days. The bond of endearment that goes beyond words. I wish she could be here with me.
With so many new challenges we face, my wife & I often wonder why life is so difficult? We know life is difficult, but we never thought it’s this difficult.
And I’m stirred with another friend’s post of a child quotation of Psalm 23:1,”the Lord is my shepherd, what else do you want?” It is very funny, yet very true. This year 2023, it’s my guiding passage for the year. Somehow, with the circumtance and situations that we were in, this passage just shines so beautifully.
This month, I was meditating on verse 5,”YOU prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies.” How lavish is His love. He does not only providing for all I need. He does protect me even in the most dangerous path of my journey. Even at the face of death, I am cared by my Shepherd. And now, as if all those things are not enough, He shows His love elevating me in the presence of the enemy.
I am so grateful for my Savior’s love and my Redeemer. This song speaks so closely how I feel,”Goodness of God.” As I was singing it, I realised how the struggles and “fires” have made my appreciation more mature.
One day when I see my Savior, I would say thank you so much for loving me. All the difficulties I go through, points to His great love and faithfulness. That His Word is true, even when put to the test, no matter how impossible they look like. Do I dare to believe it 100%? A little child will.
