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!

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...

From wander to wonder

What do you do when you wander aimlessly, and the fire you once carried has been quenched? When you are misunderstood — even by your own — rejected and cast away. When you feel lonely and isolated, as though you don’t belong or cannot truly connect. When deep inside you feel empty and spent, tired, yet moving from one day to the next. When your past mistakes haunt you, when an enemy constantly attacks and never backs down, when a world relentlessly tempts you and whispers that you are not enough. When your thoughts, meant to be a friend, become a foe instead — haunting you with a past that stains your heart a scarlet red. Meet me, Great I Am, in my wandering through this wilderness as You met Moses. Transform my “I am’s.” Where the mundane turns to musing, and despair turns to delight. Where wandering turns to wonder, and wilderness turns to worship. Show me a bush burning, yet not consumed — reminding me that You have interwoven Your life and breath into mine. All the fiery tria...

Out of nothing...

In the beginning, before anything, when there was nothing— You were. Before time, Your Spirit hovered, hovering over the void, over empty space. Then You spoke— O, You spoke and said, “Let there be light,” and piercing the darkness, light came. Such was the world without You; such is the landscape of our hearts— empty, without form, and void. It was nothing. But You spoke again: “Let there be light.” This time, the Word that existed in the beginning became flesh— the Word incarnate: Jesus, the true light for all, Immanuel, God with us. He dwelt among us. He became like us yet without sin. He became curse for us, and was pierced for our sin. Yet we did not recognize Him. Searching for Him in the law, we missed Him. But the law was fulfilled through His perfect love and sacrifice— and still, we did not comprehend. We thought He deserved it. He sees all our thoughts, the motives of our hearts— dark, devoid of love, formless without Christ, nothing but self. Yet He died and took our ...
