This year of 2012 has not been really good to me (in my perspective). Yes. Actually it's kind of discouraging to see people posting on their dashboards about how blessed they are this year. I am blessed by my God, of course. I thank Him for all the things that He did in my life, because He did it out of His love for me. But in my limited and self-centered perspective, I see that the majority of happenings in my life this whole year were not okay. There were struggles where I deeply felt that God's grace was not present, and until now it still does not make sense to me why things happened in ways I did not expect. But in all of these, I do not nullify the the promise of God that His grace would be sufficient in all situation, so even though I do not understand, I accept the fact that grace is always present. Afterall, it is not about how good life is to me, but how my life brings glory to God.
But it does not mean I won't ask God for more blessings this year of 2013. He wants me to expect for it and I am excited! I have so many things to pray for and our annual week-long fasting next week excites me so much. I am also making a list of my new year's resolutions in which the majority is all about spiritual disciplines. (Yes. Because I badly need to be disciplined Haha)
Struggles and problems will always come, but I look on God who is not intimidated by any of these. Grace and mercy always abound through Christ. I pray and claim for a deeper revelation of God in my life. Blessings upon blessings in my life! In Jesus' name. Amen.
