Lord knows me big or small, everything

It is enchanting to read such a scripture Psalms 139:1 to 3.
Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; you understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acauainted with all my ways." .... You know me and plan ahead even I was being formed in my mom's womb. It is fate, isn't it?

In negative or reactive thinking, I might fall into the trap of self-pity and hopeless and helpness. This is fate. Luckily, as a disciple, I believe God provides and protects in every details of my life or even my family. I think proactively. I conceive a heart of FEARING God. He sees me even in darkness because both darkness and the light are alike in God's perspective. Conceiving a fearing God heart I will do all my best to please God and make HIM smile at me and have a joyful every-day. Every day is a sunny day.

Turning Curse into Blessings

Phoenix -- reborn with tests in fire and sees how to turn curse into blessings. A dear friend to me, another precious woman under the Cross (though not in my own church), impresses me a lot. Though suffering from cancer does not deter her from opening up and reaching out beyond. Over the past one year, she walks closely with the Lord. Prayers accelerate exponentially; out-reaching to preach the almighty Lord; she treasures relationship & cherishes a grateful heart... Life inspires life. Out of gratitude & grace, she is recovering. May God walk with her hand in hand and heart to heart too. I beg in the name of Jesus, your beloved Son, amen.

Psalm 90:3 "You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men." Though at times our stubbornness does make our Lord angry, He waits patiently & looks forward to our repentance with full arms open wide. Lord will let bad things happen to people but He promises to walk and even carry us if we are too weak or too weary. He listens to our Prayer with full compassion.

" I beg you to satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all over days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble." Psalms 90:14-15

Psalms 91:14-16 "Because she loves me," says the Lord, " I will rescue her. I will protect her, for she acknowledges my name. She will call upon me, and I will answer her; I will be with her in trouble, I will deliver her and honour her and show her my salvation." From Phoenix's recovery (both physcially, mentally & spiritually), I grasp this conviction: James 4:8 " Come near to God and he will come near to you."

Our Mouth counts

Psalm 141:3
求你管制我的口，求你把守我的嘴唇．

We are working women who thrive or even take pride in efficiency. We are moded into the worldly way to express ourselves by all means. Very often, we are trained up to speak up instead of holding back especially in meeting. To safeguard our interest or standpoint, we must grasp the control of expression. Sometimes, we interrupt others' conversation so as to express ourselves. We want to express(take the control) at home or in the office. Well, God gives us two ears & one mouth. Any indications? any implication?

To me, listening with my heart is what I strive to pursue in this coming year. I will learn and learn....
Learn to listen with my heart. Hold my tongue and listen with an open heart and open mind and both open ears.
