Food for Thoughts

Acceptance

Everybody desires acceptance. In seeking to be accepted, we need to accept others as well. Too often, we seek one way,ie being accepted. But often, it works both ways. Acceptance enables us and others to soar on greater heights, and rise up to greater potential.

It's something that I have learnt. It's something I have to relearn again. It's not easy, when we look inwardly...I have to admit. But hey, forget the past, and strain towards the goal that set forth right? A conscious decision...I have to say.

A Crazy Week

Crazy deadlines, too much on the plate, endless phone calls to seek help, endless system problems, endless queries, working round the clock to meet the midnight deadline....It's been a crazy week. I ran like a mad woman. Never in my life felt so so stretched before. Never in my life felt such a burning anger...it's a struggle..between what i believe and the realty.

Lord, is this really what He has installed for me? God, where is You sceptor of favour? Where is the breakthrough that I have been waiting? How long shall I wait? I felt like standing on a sinking sand...grapping hold of anything that comes along the way.

It's so easy to give up. It's never easy to stay afloat and hang in there. Peace and strength are what I desire most. And there's only one place I can draw from. The ONLY place.

Facing the Giant

Everyone has their own giants to face. Sometimes, it's so overwhelming that you are not sure whether you carry on. You doubt about yourself. You doubt about God too. "Where are You, God?" " Why does this thing happen to me?"

Sometimes, the breakthrough is just few steps away. But we just can't see it. How many extra miles do we need to go further? Not sure.

Recently been feeling down and overwhelming with things. Anger, frustration, doubt and discouragement. You name it. I walked into a Salvation bookshop one day, and there, a sermon was broadcasted in the shop, just-in time for me to catch the sentence, "Our job is to trust God. That is. Nothing else. The rest is his job." How true and applicable it was to my situation. I had tried all means, and nothing can be done. I was angry and discouraged, and was thinking alternative ways to resolve the thing. But all in vain. And I have to agree that our job is to trust God. Nothing else. Not even myself.

The Lord says fear not for He is with me. Greater that He is in me than that he is in the world. If you have watched the movie, "Facing the Giant", you will know that perseverance and focus will lead to breakthrough. The focus is on God. "If we win, we praise God. If we loose, we praise God too."

Tough, but it is possible. What's your Giant? Lay it before Him. Trust Him too.
