Christian life is an ongoing process. We walk day by day with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Through God’s mercy and grace, He changes and transforms us to be more like His Son.

Being a believer is not just about our own inward transformation; it is also about sharing the Good News of His love with the people around us. When we tell others about Jesus, we may not see immediate results. However, we must trust that God is at work, molding both them and us.

Let us not give up on praying for our loved ones to know Jesus Christ personally, nor should we grow weary in serving through church ministries. We may not see the reward now, but in God’s own time, there will be a harvest of souls coming to the Lord.

Reflection Question:

Are we tempted to give up because we do not see immediate rewards or the fruits of our labour for God’s Kingdom?

Prayer:

Dear Lord, help me to not give up but to be faithful in the work You have entrusted Me. I pray that others will know You and that Your Name will be glorified. Amen.

Basking in Nature

This morning after breakfast, my good friend and I decided to roam around the neighbourhood. She showed me the various plants and vegetables the neighbours had planted. It was early in the morning and I was amazed at how beautiful the landscape was! The air was fresh and the view was breath-taking!For three months, the country had been in a lockdown. I had more screen time due to this too. Now that I am back at work, i rushed through the day without really paying attention to my surroundings.But, what a wonderful change of pace this morning! Being in the morning sun and its rays brushing against my skin bring healing and joy to me.Each bird has a song to sing. Each flower blooms in God’s time. Each fruit from the tree tells us that our God is a creative and faithful God. The creation sings of God’s glory! The creation tells of God’s greatness!“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities —- his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20, NIV)“for in him all things were created: Things in heaven and on earth, voisible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16, NIV)Praise be to God! His love for us is demonstrated by His creativity in the nature!I am a city girl: born in the bustling city of Hong Kong and spent the majority of my childhood there until my family migrated to Malaysia. In Hong Kong, my family, like most city people, doesn’t plant things. What a joy for the city girl to harvest Ladies’ Fingers (okra), this morning!Being in nature does wonders to my soul. It amazes me to see plants.Why don’t we intentionally slow down our pace and let nature rejuvenate us!
