faith

Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
Mark 4:38



I have attended the afternoon service at WIN-SG (YMCA Dhouby Ghaut) last Sunday...again. Yes, I confessed the word "again", have been an absentee since who-knows when. But that given day, I came and just as always it never failed me, the utmost feeling of being just at the exact place at the exact time,there was nowhere else I could be.

why can something so familiar bring so much fear?

With this reality I'm in...too many questions, too many issues, too many mishaps, pleadings...fears i couldn't see yet i feel.

Then again, I heard Him saying, with Him we can exercise our faith over fears. For faith is hoping even if we don't see. Faith is expecting even if it is not coming.

Fears were overwhelmed with hope and peace. And as what I've learned today, Peace transcends all understanding, then why not be an example of peace? Let someone see how God works in ones life once peace is present and they will believe and follow. Why not, i was telling myself....why not? :)


"Quiet, Be still" (Mark 4:39)

It is enough for me to know that with faith, we can be normal even in an abnormal situation..for His presence is our ultimate assurance (in life).

And so, I will stop to wrestle now.:)
Let me do this...and as I have said...
"Rock 'n Roll"
