I serve an amazing and loving God.
recently, i have been very blessed by people around me. i will be going to China for a ministry trip in 2 weeks' time and i need to raise S$500 for my air ticket. This is my first time raising funds so i have absolutely no idea how to go about it. i have been busy with church events and programs that i do not have time to think about this. I also dunno who to ask.
So when Yun Yun (my cell member) passed me a love offering, i was totally surprised. She said it was from the whole cell. I did not even tell my cell about this trip! and in the end, she told me it was Ps Cx who asked her to ask the cell. It was a whopping S$400!!! To me, it was a huge sum. and my cell has 8 members so i guess each member would have to fork out like S$50 each? i am really grateful to them for their generosity! was very touched by their gesture.. =)
and so i am short of S$100 right..so i was thinking of how i am going to raise this money...and somehow during lunch one day, i casually told my colleague about my trip and how my cell gave me a love offering. and....tatata...later on, she passed me $50! I was again, very surprised ! And she said that when she opened her wallet, she saw $50... ..so she gave me. woa! What faith! i dunno what to say...except a simple "God bless you". I am really blessed. =)
then yesterday, Ps Cx smsed me and told me one of my church friend, Xiuqing, is going to top up the balance for me. woa. i really could not believe it! I must had reread the sms. Xiuqing and i are not close, nor do we know one another well. Praise God! I really thank these loving individuals for their giving. I thank God for their willingness to give and their obedience, and their faith in His work.
i have to admit i am truly blessed.
God provides.
Dear God, your grace is something i can never fully understand
It isnt something i can earn, not something i deserve, not something i can achieve by myself
Your grace is a gift.
Your grace is unmerited favour.
Thank you God! Thank you Jesus!
the next time i lack, i will trust in your providence. For if u clothe the lilies, how much more will you provide for your children.
God knows our needs even before we ask.
Trust in His providence for your life.
