She prays

God, may u reign in uncertain times.
May we learn to trust.
May you lead our footsteps.
Looking only to you
For it is all that matters
God have your way.

Signin off: my heart longs

Thinking in the middle of the nite

You know its right yet its not exactly what you want
Sometimes in life you just have to make such choices.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding ~Proverbs 3: 5

Attempted to study I did tonight, but i think my brains are already on my bed. So, goodnights world :)

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."

Romans 8:28-29

Many a times we read this verse and go, yep, all things WILL work for those who love God. Everything will run on smoothly, problems are no where to be seen, they will be no worries in their life. After all, God did say so.

Many a times, when things do go wrong, we tend to question. There is no doubt about God's sovereignty. You therefore start questioning yourself.

God I know You are in control, but is it cos that I don't love you enough that I'm going through this? Why is it that even after devoting you all my time to You and following you (I know it's a privilege), I am still faced with such a situation, something I don't have control over?

Where is the goodness you promised??

Well, legitimate questions they are.

First of all, this bit is written for two categories of people :

- Those who love him

- Those called according to His purpose

Are you in any one of them?

Secondly, read the second bit very carefully :)

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His son. God's ultimate purpose is to mould us to be like Christ. "Works for the good" does not mean it is something that looks or feels good to you at all. Nor does it mean you have a better looking life than others, problem free. Sure, God can choose to bless you but His good has this in mind, to build you towards the likeness of Christ :P

How cool is that!

Love through the eyes of a 20-year-old

Because he first loved

we learn to love him back,

to learn to see the goodness in him

There you yearn to be connected

forming heaps of want-to-dos just for him

After all, isn't that all part of love?

Although being limited

u strive on even when whats ahead seems a blur

Willingly, you put down your all and give it your best shot

Be it speak the right words, do the right thing

You would do what you do

Just cos you know

that it will bring a smile across his face.

A picture of human love this is,

a snip bit of the greater love out there.

1John 4:19 says...

Because God first loved us..

It all started with Him loving us

There the story unfolds

Knowing so,

do we yearn to have a relationship with Him?

How would our lives be different?

Are we doing what we're doing, just cos we know,

it brings a smile across His face?

Are we persevering on in tough and confused times

cos you know that He's there?

Better still, if you haven't met this God who loves you,

will you give this relationship a shot?

A picture of the perfect love.

And simply because he first loved you!
