Christ is All you Need!

As some of you know I was made redundant and have been unemployed since July, I am writing this post to encourage you and especially myself while we are in this journey of transition together.

I am thankful to God for His presence each day. His grace and fellowship every hour. There are times I would feel lost but the Holy Spirit through His word would remind me that He is my Provider and Sustainer and it's not a man or a company- these are means and not an end. Truly thankful for such a wonderful God who understands the depths of my thoughts, fears and worries and addresses them gently as a Father and secures my weak heart.

He truly withheld no good thing from me. The reality is there are expenses each month. I am thankful for friends who have been there for me in this phase of my life and extended help and support in every way God enabled them to. Some ordered groceries, some helped financially without me reaching out to them, some sent job references, some checked on my emotional health, some prayed and some even cried with me. It's overwhelming how God moves people with compassion to understand the needs.

So if you're reading this I want to encourage you. As my friend Kimaya encouraged me. She was watching a movie- Noah and God told one of Noah's son in the movie- You have EVERYTHING you need in this time. Yes and this is true. I am thankful first and foremost because the presence and love of a Holy God is my portion. 36 years of my life He has sustained me and never failed once. Even in hardships and pain He never left.

Secondly, at this time I experience His love and goodness through the friends and family. I want to remind you and encourage you with the truth that you have everything you need- God and His people around you. He is using the stillness, the hardship, the brokenness, every single detail of our lives to behold His goodness and to mould our hearts to the likeness of Christ to respond with compassion to suffering.

So I pray with thanksgiving for all of us -

Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your steady love and faithfulness through every trial and temptation. Thank you that You never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you for sustaining us and carrying us through every hardship. Thank you for your presence Holy Spirit. You're sufficient at all times. Thank you for your people who comfort when in distress. I know God You're a provider and withhold no good thing You gave Jesus Christ the best gift ever, so I know You will take care of every need beyond what we can ask or think for Your Glory!

The Design

I believe that there is a God who is good and He created us with purpose. He loved us so much that He was compelled by love to create children in His image who are good, filled with love and compassion. We were created for love and to go beyond our SELF. I am convinced of this, though I fail daily. When I was younger, someone very dear to me failed in a relationship and my little heart was broken. When I saw the person suffer the consequence I believed that they deserved it. As a kid I was unaware of my self righteousness. Time flew and when I grew up, I failed in a relationship. I was torn with condemnation, guilt, shame and judgement. This time I failed. I just couldn't take the weight of it and made a confession to a friend. I was so disappointed that I didn't see hope. My friend graciously explained that God is merciful. When you truly repent He forgives. I have always believed in God. As a child I wrote letters to Him mainly out of frustration about my situatio...

Holy!

Recently I registered myself on matrimonial sites to see if I can find a potential match. Unfortunately, I saw few fake profiles and I felt unsafe so I deleted my account. This is a platform meant for people to feel safe so they can pursue a life partner, yet some people come with different agendas. It's called Holy matrimony for a reason. It was God's idea when He created Adam to give her Eve for it was not good for Him to be alone. Adam responded with joy, “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. Genesis 2:23‭-‬25 NLT He burst into beautiful poetry of praise. It's Holy because they became one. Despite the nakedness they felt no shame because they were united. God designed a perfect world,...

Longing for forever!

Being in the lockdown, I have come to appreciate the stillness, something I am not used to. Life gets so busy and it's like a monotonous routine. I almost felt like a hamster on a wheel. This period of rest has enabled me to slow down and appreciate the things I wouldn't notice because of busyness such as the birds outside my window, the sounds of them chirping every morning. Moreover, me wondering and reflecting as I used to when I was a child, I was so easily amazed at what I was learning. Growing up I somehow lost that and I feel like God is bringing me back to that place where I can be in awe of Him. In one of my conversations with my dear friend I mentioned- " Do you ever wonder why we say best friends Forever or I love you Forever? You know it's not strange that we long for Forever cause it is God who created us with that longing. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it's written: God has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of...
