Matthew 9:14-17
V17: Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

My Comfort
Jesus, at times when I am down, You embrace me with Your unfailing love.
You comfort me in times of distress.
What would I do without You....
Those small little things You do for me in life,
to make things easier for me,
How am I to deny your Holy presence when it is so imminent?
I give thanks to You Lord, for all the wonderous things you have done for me.
When it was pouring down so heavily, and I had to go out to get things done, I said a silent prayer, "Dear Heavenly Father, please stop the rain.... I don't want to be drenched and I don't want to carry an umbrella as I walk out because it'd be so troublesome with all the things I have to carry."
You heard every small prayer I prayed.
The moment I stepped out, it stopped raining. The bus arrived exactly on the spot when I arrived at the busstop.
My God is an amazing God.
I was so distracted SMS-ing non-stop, I've almost forgotten I'm supposed to alight. Thank you Holy Spirit for all these small reminders. With Your guidance, I know its impossible for me to get lost. I managed to arrive at my destination.
And later on at macdonalds, it started pouring down really heavily again... I said another small prayer. By Faith, I knew God heard and He will stop the rain for me.
What else can I do but give all Glory to my Heavenly Father.
All these small things may seem nothing to you, but to me, it has touched me so deeply.
Once, you may say its coincidental. twice, fair enough. 3, 4, 5... countless times, I really have to admit God is watching over me. He knows and He understands and He hears.
Psalms 121:1-2, 5 (NIV)
"I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth... The Lord watches over you-- the Lord is your shade at your right hand;"
I love Psalms 121. It gives me this overwhelming sense of security, peace and I feel so loved by my Heavenly Father....
Working at GLC has really been refreshing for me. Previously I've spoken of how divine this opportunity was. Throughout my working experience, it has been tough, but at the same time, I thank God for revealing day by day, a little by little, His purpose for me in life.
Different working personalities has indeed led to conflicts. But at the same time, thank God for enlightening me through today's service about the diversity of different people.
God is indeed a creative God, to create us all differently. Praise the Lord for that!
These differences teaches me on how to work with different people, differently.
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
Ephesians 4:2-3
I recall once after a conflict I had with a colleague of mine, during QT, God gave me this message. Today, He reminded me of this message once again.
I will obey the commandments He gave to me.
Many times I feel that I don't like the way people work, because its different. Many times I just feel like turning away and say, " I quit. I hate the way you work."
But no, this time I'll persevere for I'm learning.
I will learn to humble myself and be gentle. When its different, I will learn to work with that person. I will be patient. When people don't understand where I'm coming from, I'll explain with utmost patience, and bear with them, for I love. I will obey the word of God and make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit. Peace.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
When the going gets tough, I thank Holy Spirit for reminding me my fav. verse of all times:
"The joy of the Lord is my strength."
Nehemiah 8:10
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised."
Hebrews 10:36
For my Lord God almight has taught me this. He has promised me this.
I'll persevere for this is the will of the Lord. No matter how unhappy I may be, I trust in Him and I believe that He will reward me in due time.
Thank You Heavenly Father...
Once again, as I read the word of God, I find comfort that I seek. You are the only one that understands me.
You never once failed me. You always give me the peace that I need...
Thank You for Your unfailing love. :)
May God grant you the rest that you need, the peace that you seek, the joy to be found in Him. :)
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
Amen.
You comfort me in times of distress.
