The photo theme today is YOU. Remembering you and you - with Colis Tan and Yu Xuan, my two GB girls whom I had the opportunity to share life with when they were in Fourth and Fifth Form. Now they have graduated from University, shinning and excelling in their fields of studies.
Who are you?
If you are in Christ, your name is written on God’s hands.
It is not written in ballpoint, or the way you write in your blog or facebook, or even the way you might note in your diary, "Dental appointment on Monday" to remind yourselves. Your name is written in eternity.
Cling to Christ. Hold on tight to Him.
If in anytime your grasp starts to slip, know that it’s God who is gripping on you, it is not your grip on him. That’s the assurance.
The things on earth, if they fill you at all, fill you only temporarily.
You can try to fill yourself up with activities, accomplishments, popularity – but earthly fulfillment leaks out the bottom as fast as you can heap it in the top. The fullness of a life in which God reigns is a fullness that overflows today, tomorrow and forever.
Look to God alone for approval, for the substance of who you are.
When you know God’s love and acceptance, you can accept yourself just as you are, with all your imperfections. You can discover who you are, and help you feel loved and valued.
Give thanks often to God for how He created you.
“You are wonderfully and fearfully made.” (Psalms 139:14a)
