Abounding Grace

During cell group yesterday, 2 verses caught my attention. And yes, I totally agree with what the scriptures say.

For the past 2 weeks, I've been feeling discouraged over certain issues. But during those 2 weeks, I could witness God's grace and provision in my life. He sent people into my midst to cheer me up and lift up my burdens.

God knows that we humans are weak. We tend to stumble throughout our life's journey. But He also promises His all-abounding grace to us. God is in control in any and every situation, and because of this truth, we need nor fear whatever befalls us. He will meet your need so that in Him, we can experience His full richness.

"The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord;
He directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases."
Proverbs 21:1

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you,
So that in all things at all times,
Having all that you need,
You will abound in every good work."
2 Corinthians 9:8

Tell the World

Dear blog readers! Welcome to my life. I want to make this newly created blog as exclusive as possible. I was actually contemplating whether to start blogging again because of the limitations I see in having an online diary. For me, I don't really see it as a safe place to air my thoughts, my views and my emotions. But then again, I hope that this little space of mine that I have created would bring me closer to the actual realization of myself and the purpose of life here on earth.

I decided to have my disply name as "A Lifetime of Eternal Pleasures". I hope that my life from this day onwards would be a life of much more. I would want to see every single event in my life as something pleasurable, be it a happy or sad situation. Ever since I've started working, my perspective of life has changed, not quite a bit but rather drastically. And I'm glad because I see everything else in another light. I'm beginning to appreciate the little things rather than the big things, beginning to embrace life in my fullest capacity and capability. I'm more than thankful to God that in Him, I do not lack.

This week marks the second month for me in my new job. Looking back, I'm truly amazed of God's faithfulness and favor in blessing me with a dream job. It doesn't come by so easily, that's why I'm even more assured that this is a job from God.

Yesterday night, I was surprised when Jessie messaged me to find out how I'm getting on. Seriously, I was touched because I did not expect my ex boss to keep in contact with me. I'm glad that she shared with me about her present situation which makes me want to pray for her even more. Thinking back, I really missed my days in GNC. It was like a bitter-sweet relationship that I had in my first job. For those interested, I'll share with you my long-written testimony. If my heart allows, I may just post my testimony in this blog one of these days.
Here's some photos that I've taken with my colleagues during my 1 year 8 months in GNC.
