Tender Loving Care

In 2010, our friends, C and T, gave us some seeds to plant. They also reside in Sengkang.

Subsequently, we planted the seeds into some soil. It took a while for germination to take its course. On the surface, nothing very much seemed to be happening.Then one day, we were delighted to see a green shoot emerging. 

The plant grew and at different times, flowers have even bloomed. It was pure delight.

As I observe this precious plant, it speaks to me about the tender, loving care of the Lord. The Lord picks us up, nurtures and loves us to life. His loving hands protect and comfort us. He gives us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning. He fills our mouths with laughter and makes us whole again.

The Lord watches over us. He keeps us from harm and danger. He covers us with His unfailing love. He loves us deeply.

Nothing in this temporal world can replace Him. We rely completely on the Lord of our lives. We live for Him. We live to bring honour and glory to the Lord.
