Thank You, Lord

I was looking out of my window at home this morning.  Thanking God for a brand new day. Thanking God for His hand of love.

Lovely Singapore Quarry

Last Saturday afternoon, Monte and I had a good time at the Singapore Quarry.

Journeying with Our Maker

The pursuit of God drives us to press on and embrace everything God has for us. Our merciful God shapes us daily.  

He pulled us out from the miry clay and gave us life eternal. He speaks to us daily. He transforms us powerfully. The life and light of Christ comes shining through us. 

Collectively, we become a mighty beacon for the Lord. We shine forth God's glorious light. We bring hope to people in despair and desolation. 

The richness of God's grace and His tender mercies spur us on. He grants us strength and tenacity. We can only go as far as He allows to venture.  

As we journey through perilous pathways, we are fearless because He is with us. 

He unfolds His purposes and plans to us. We walk in love and submission to our maker. He who began a work in us will bring it to completion. We serve a faithful God.

Monte has penned some lyrics to a song entitled The Love of God is Overflowing

The love of God, is overflowing
It reaches to, the deepest sea.
The love of God, is overflowing
It rises up, for you and me
The love of God is overflowing
Like a fount, that's pure and free
The love of God, is overflowing
It's flowing down, for you and me

I put in a simple melody and we used it at the end of January this year when Monte was preaching at His Sanctuary.  The Lord granted a wonderful time of ministry that day.
We enjoy ministering together.

The little that we offer to the Lord may seem small in our own eyes but the Lord can use what we have in our hands.  Serving the Lord reaps bountiful blessings and joy.  We can only abandon ourselves completely to the Master in love and total submission.  God is so good.
