Truly Blessed

Today Bro D came to our cg after a long long time and i must say that i do miss our regular cellgroup meetings! Today's was FAB! Really a time of refreshing of the spirit and renewing of the mind. Most importantly, I came to a place where I recognized that I'm truly blessed!...Come to think of it, there are many people who tell me that they think I'm very blessed...but hearing it from someone else and acknowledging the truth myself is totally different. Sometimes we are so caught up with looking at the negative aspects that we fail to realise and remember the good ones... and what zoe said is soo true! no matter how great my day is or how many good things happen to me this week..because of one bad thing, I usually conclude the day/week is spoilt.


Many people look at my life and say that I have great parents, great family, great friends and God really provides for my family also in terms of finances...but yet I would look at the academic aspect and say hey...I'm not as good as that person...etc.. i have my own trials..blabla..

Yet, the more I think about it, ...

I remember:2 Cor 12:7-9
And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

So, I do have the presence of God in my life even though I have areas of weakness. And it is only so that I will always remember to lean upon him. Its not by my own might and strength that I achieve or have what I have today, its not because of my looks or my own abilities, but it is the God factor.


Indeed there is a disparity between head knowledge and experience. Just knowing that I carry the presence of God and that God is always with me is not enough. I need to recognize it in my everyday life. I shouldnt be taking donkey hours to think of how God has blessed me the past week!
