His Hand of Love

Monte and I have been living in Sengkang since 2001.  I vividly remember the young plants that lined the streets.  Due to strong wind and torrential rain here, they needed to be supported.  Oftentimes, they looked battered and weak.  They were fighting for their survival.

Days, months and years passed.  Today, seventeen years later, they have grown into young trees.  Vibrant, strong and luscious.  

Like the young plants, we were once weak and feeble, the Lord in His love and mercy strengthens us.  He builds us.  His nurturing love grows us into a strong, compassionate and loving people.  A people of compassion.  A people of grace.  A people of love.  He shapes and moulds us daily till He sees His reflection in us.  He guides us with loving patience, bringing out the best in us.  His hand of love is on us.
