It's been yet another week. But has it been JUST another week, or has it been ANOTHER week with God? Think about it.

All of us go through a period of struggling at one point or another. But that doesn't mean we're never going to get through it. The Bible says that we're victorious, so how do we become victorious? Or are we already victorious because Christ died for us? Mmm. Have you been living your life as a victor, or one who is defeated?

Life is hard. And that's why it's only with Christ that we can get through it. What about your friends? Do they know Christ? Do they have Christ to walk each step of life with them? You know how tough life is, what more without Christ. So think about what you can do for your friends who haven't known Christ yet.

And I really couldn't help but thank God when Daryl came for cell outing/outreach that day. So little planning, or not planning at all, but yet still one person came to know more about God. Our friends may not accept Him right away, but at least take joy in knowing that they've heard about Him, and God is in control. So give it to Him, your troubles, your struggles and your problems.

And of course, remember... Spiritual maturity is not something that is gained overnight. Growing deeper in our walk with Christ is a process, it takes time. So don't be too hard on yourself, or think that God's going to abandon you. Because He won't. And I'm so sure of it. He'll NEVER leave you nor forsake you. Don't just remember it, but believe it.

Here's a verse for you...

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." - Psalm 27:14

God has been moving in our lives. And I know it. He's moulding each and everyone of us, renewing our minds according to His will. Moulding may be painful at times, but if you think about it, it's worth it at the end. So don't give up.

Simply because YOU ARE LOVED.

Father, I thank You for each and everyone of us - Caleb Soh, Caleb Teo, Nicholas, Jemina, Sarah, Jian Quan, Arie and Lynette. Lord, thank You for working in our lives, for allowing us to know You, the One true and living God. Father, it gets tiring at times, it gets painful at times, but Lord, we know that You are moulding us, into a jewel for You - precious and valuable. Father, i pray that You will constantly remind us of our worth in You, that no matter what the world says, we will cling fast to Your promises and Your Truth. Father, help us to bear Your words of life in our hearts and minds, that we will not be shaken. Lord, grant us a deeper desire to know You, to love You. We thank You for Your faithfulness, Lord. And we praise You, because all Your works are good. In Jesus' name... Amen.
