Being in the Grace of God


Life is really sensational just living in the Grace of God and at times it’s really so hard to believe whether life can be this good! It’s really been something that I’ve been experiencing this week, despite this week being one of my busiest weeks ever. But I guess all credit goes to the Risen lord who has just granted me every grace I needed to grow deeper with him.

About 3 weeks ago, I felt the Lord calling me to go deeper into prayer with him. It was a called to start going into deeper prayer with him like the Lectio Divina and just more silent prayer. And my reply to him was, “Lord, you I am not the type of meditative type and all. But if this is what you want to do, then please grant me the graces cause without it I know for sure that I will never be able to do this.” So in the past 3 weeks, I been spending much more time in the adoration room and all I have to say is that the Lord provides yet again. It’s just been an amazing journey because I’ve been really enjoying my silent time with the Lord!

But some of you may ask, how does all this help in our growth of our spiritual journeys with the Lord! Well all this gives us spiritual energy and joy to serve better in our ministries and also all this gives us stamina to run the race. If we don’t have this, we find ourselves at times really weak to carry on this race! I will certainly testify to this, because there’s been so many times when I felt like giving up and falling into sin or the easier way out which is to be unlike Christ! But it’s been like the Sprit of God got stronger within me and always kept me restrained from giving up. It’s something that’s really hard to explain and I guess in many ways that this is sort of living in the grace of God. But despite all this, I still do make mistakes and fall again and again. But everytime and I fail once; I try to do better the next day. Yet again this is part of living in the grace of God!

Anyway this week, I started school again as I just started my 2nd year in Temasek Poly and yes, I am enjoying life in poly but its getting a lot tougher. It all falls in place cause before this semester started, I made a decision to study much harder compared to the previous year in poly. So I guess there was a reason for God to instill the idea to study harder this semester. I struggled quite a bit this week but I have just submitted to God all the struggles I’ll be facing! I just am so sure that God’s going to be there with me all the way. And I know that God will grant me the grace still to manage to ensure everything is well with my studies and my church work! So I have nothing to fear! How awesome is that!

And I am totally in awe of all this! I testify yet again that God’s plan for us is the BEST! But we must have an open-mind at all times! May you experience the joy I experience everyday! Seek it and you’ll find it! Amen!
