Find Me Righteous
Surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield – Psalm 5:12
Search my heart, O Lord. May You find it righteous and pure. I long for joy in my life. This season of hardship has tempted me to question how Your blesssings are given. What have I done to deserve these Lord. My heart knows I am forgiven – Your mercy covers my sins. How can I use this time to draw closer to You rather than challenge Your mercy?
What do You want me to learn from my life today? Alleviate my confusion. Pierce my heart with Your love. Encourage us with the security of believing friends. Saturate our days with evidence of blessings yet to come. Surround me with Your favor. Protect my fragile heart.
Just came back from photographing the Asian Youth Games Soccer Semi Final & Finals. Been yet another tiring day but thank God for sustaining. God knows when we are about to break and he knows full well our limits. Got a surprise lift back home by my parents even though they are very exhausted after work too. The ride back home was a silent one, but we all knew in our hearts that each other’s presence weighs more than any words. Thank you Lord. Learning to honor my parents in the midst of work.
Reading through the reading that Sulwyn has graciously provided us with the link. There are so many messages in one simple reading that spoke to me… that really made my soul felt understood. I pray Lord that you will grant my dear brothers and sisters in Dimpsalm to set aside time for this reading, I believe you will speak to them too.
1. Choosing Community – The requirement for true intimacy is unhurried time
2. Fellowship of the Mat – It is only when we allow others to see our mat, when we give and receive help with each other, that healing becomes possible ~ Lord help me to be vulnerable again, trusting that you have and will always provide the person and the timing. Help me to be sensitive and continually walking with you unceasingly.
3. Fellowship of the Mat – Everyone has a MAT, Brokenness & Imperfection. ~ Lord will you continually mould be body soul and spirit. That my thoughts and deeds will be taken captive to the obedience of Christ and be pleasing to you. Enable me to dwell on thoughts that builds up another.
4. Fellowship of the Mat – Community is made up of people with all their richness, but also with their weakness and poverty, of people who accept and forgive each other, who are vulnerable with each other. Humility and trust are more at the foundation of community than perfection ~ Lord I pray that you will continue to help us walk as a community anchored in Love, Humility and Trust.
5. IF you want a deep friendship, you can’t always be the strong one, allow somebody to carry your mat ~ Lord, thank you for having spoken, I will work on it. Provide opportunities Lord and I pray that you will mould us at dimpsalm to learn to go the extra mile for one another
