What was your ambition when you were at a mild age of 10??

I would like to know your piece of mind on this.

As for me, I wanted to be a Neurologist or a Celebrity Actress...

Yes, I was still young at that time… I was only 10…. What do you expect? Of course, we do DREAM big dreams!!!

Now, what was yours?

We often hear friends telling us “God has a better plan for you.” We probably nod and smile, then live our own lives.

What does it mean to think that God has a perfect plan for us? Maybe it’s the word “Perfect” that troubles us. We are often fallible and make so many mistakes in life.

How could anything be perfect in our lives? We should know ourselves better – too well perhaps. At times, we think of our shortcomings and shake our heads.

The view from my window this morning

It’s not that we’re perfect or ever will be perfect while we try to make it perfect. We just have to let God has its plan for us and He is perfect in planning our lives.

We need to constantly remind ourselves how imperfect we are. We are only humans. An extra dosage of obedience and a serving heart are needed in order to realize the perfect plan. Nothing we can ever do would be good enough to satisfy God’s perfection.

Is there some problem in your life to solve,
Some pasage seeming full of mystery?
God knows, who brings the hidden things to light.
He keeps the key.

Is there some door closed by the Father’s hand
Which widely opened you had hoped to see?
Trust God and wait – for when He shuts the door
He keeps the key.

Is there some earnest prayer unanswered yet,
Or answered NOT as you had thought would be?
God will make clear His purpose by and by.
He keeps the key.

Have patience with God, your patient God,
All wise, all knowing, no long lingerer He,
And of the door of all your future life
He keeps the key.

Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest,
To know of every door He keeps the key.
That He at last when just He sees is best,
Will give it thee…

taken from the book “Streams in the dessert”

In fact, many a times when we seek Him to answer our prayers, we often take it as a definite YES from God. We failed to wait and know what are the unseen things ahead.

God may close some doors when you forcefully tried to open them. But, you gotta look to the other side, because there is a door which is opened for you.

I know it’s easier said than done but we just have to learn how to let God take control. =)

When I am down, the only one that I could really trust is Daddy God who comforts me at all times.

Yeah, turning to Daddy God will be the best option when you are out of wits and totally in despair. And one of the song that pops into my head lately is “So You Would Come” by Hillsong. It’s a very old song but it has meaningful lyrics that I would love to share with you.

Here’s the youtube video of the song:

Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come

Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you’ve done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come

Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come
