For the past few months, I’m learning about trusting in God at a deeper level. Really, there’s no end in trusting God. Things happen and you get worried, then you realise that your anxiety or fear has a spiritual root that is waiting to be yanked out of your life, that your view of God needs to be aligned to who He really is.

I appreciate God really more these days. Prayers are no longer insisting on what you want, but a trusting attitude and action to say “God knows best!”

With the farewell we bade with 8-week old “Yeshua” on 20 February 2009, it was a time of grief, no doubt, but a time we brace ourselves in full submission and assurance of God’s grace and mercy. A colleague told me that it is through such times that the verse “His loving kindness is better than life” takes on a new and special meaning. I truly could appreciate this verse now. Nothing beats His loving kindness, not even life!

I remembered that my beloved hubby said a prayer after we found out that Yeshua had lost his heartbeat…

               “… nothing can be compared with the price You paid on the Cross…”

Wow! That was enlightening and I must say, relieving. Yes, this experience IS painful and we cried lots. But indeed, such pain and grief pale in comparison when we ponder on His sacrifice on the Cross!!

And because He lives, I can face tomorrow…. Because He lives, all fear is gone… Because I know, I know He holds the future… And life is worth the living just because He lives!
