A Story about a Boy I know

Life odds were stacked against you the moment you were born. You learnt to crawl and walk in the hands and cheers of strangers, whom gradually become family through the years. I knew you from a 7 year old boy, shy and eager to please, to a confident young man, with a mind of your own. You always delighted in learning new things. Your eyes twinkled at the sight of an adventure. Then one day, you found our Saviour. You grew and blossom from then. You fought and won many battles. “I studied very hard to catch up with other students. I want to go the Institute Technical Education…...” A bold statement made years ago with dreams so high. But you did it, my child. “It makes me happy to help others. Most of the time, the person who gives is happier than the person who receives.” You gave, in more ways than you would ever imagine. You gave us a story so motivating. You gave us laughter, with all your lame jokes. You gave us your enthusiasm in all the things that you do. You gave us a wake up call, to love, to care and to treasure. We hope you were happy. You left. You left behind an inspiration. A story and reminder to us that nothing is impossible with hard work and sheer determination. We grieve. For a story that ended so abruptly. We pain. For the moments we thought of you, and did nothing. We celebrate. For your life and victories so inspiring. You are good and is a warrior in our hearts. In your darkest moments, we take comfort that the radiance and warmth of the angels were with you, though you may not have seen. That night, you were discharged permanently into our Heavenly Father’s Home. No more pain, no more struggles, no more tears. You were cleansed and made perfect that moment. This is one of your favourite songs. Indeed you have soared above the thunders and storms, and is safe in His Loving Hands now.

When Answers Aren't Enough

Returning to Your Failure

Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."



The Lord spoke timely to me again...

Personalised:-

"Jesus often gets my undivided attention when I fail. He sometimes takes me back to the place of defeat in order to build something good into my life..... Perhaps my problem was that I relied on my own strength instead of the Master's. I have failed in my relationship. Jesus will not allow me to abandon it: He will help me to learn from failure and experience the difference He can make when He guides in my relationship. When I try in God's strength, I will discover that success is indeed within my grasp."

Indeed when I experience failure, I am on the brink of receiving a profound revelation from God.

Thank you Lord for the lighting and tunderbolt that jerked me up. Thank you for the storm in the midst now that allowed me to experience peace - Your peace and calmness. Thank You Lord for allowing me to turn back to you - often at times when I fail.

I pray Lord, speak to me . Convict me of Your ways, Your will.
Let my mind and my heart speak,"Master, I've worked hard all these years and haven't bore fruits.But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
