Killing The Past - Building The Future

Recently I have decided to kill a portion of the past that was plaguing me. It all started a while back in 2009-2010 and I felt that I need to move on with my life and concentrate of the future. Although I do feel very displaced by my coming to Singapore I know that this is where God wants me to be and so be it. 

It is my prayer that God teaches me and guides me through this difficult phase of my life. Whilst everyday is a challenge, his grace renews everyday as well.

'Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, 
    for his compassions never fail. 
²³ They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.' - Lamentations 3:22-23

Recently a song by Steven Curtis Chapman brightened up my day with the powerful lyric

 'I am the God who never wastes a single hurt that you endure

My words are true, and all My promises are sure' - Believe Me Now

I found this to be a powerful statement of a God who lovingly guides us and gives us strength for the day.

Even as I have been meditating on Psalm 25 I pray that God will show me his ways and teach me his paths. Whilst this prayer does sound pretty cool are we prepared for what that entails? For as the potter Jesus is constantly shaping us through life, and often times this 'shaping' is certainly not a incredibly pleasant experience which tests our obedience and faith in him. 

I do not know how a ranting session has become a message about God nor do I know why my music blog has suddenly become a christian environment, but nonetheless I pray that this incredibly incoherent message will bless you and I also praise God that in my pain God is shaping and molding me into a worthy vessel.
