Well, it's another year pass by. Of course, there are always bad things and good things happening around every one, i.e. for me, emotional break down, financial crisis, doubtful future, new toys etc.
Whatever has happened, I thank God for His mercy that allowed me to live until this day. I recognized that even though it's a tough year, it's going to be tougher and tougher in the coming years. In the middle of this, is a process of growing to know Him and to understand His purpose for me in my life. If somebody asking me what is the purpose of my life that set by Him, I would say that the only purpose that I know since the first day I knew Him, is to walk with Him. As I read from the bible, I recognized that God does not want a robot, but He wants a person with feelings and do things with willingness and sincerity. He wants us to accept Him by our own willingness and not by force, thus it is written in Proverbs - "The preparation of heart is done by man", which after we are willing to prepare our heart for Him, then He will come into our heart and rescue us.
He has performed a lot of miracle during this year, which unfolded His purpose before His churches. I'm looking forward to see His glory shining over the whole world.
He blessed me, even though I'm not blessed with wealth, but I'm still blessed. He has chastens me and corrects me in many of my wrong doings; He trained me to overcome the feeling of loneliness by encourage me through His words; He comforted me when I felt distress; He taught me things on how to be a humble servant; And, He taught me how to give and bless other people.
As 2006 is coming, I'm waiting to fill another white paper by filling in the things that He shall revealed to the church.
Amen
