DB - Wednesday 1st April 09 - Servant - Friendship

We were people among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. - Thessalonians 2: 7

 Suffering is a form of experience that God want us to go through. From it, we can experience the grace of God. Troubles produce endurance. Endurance brings God's approval that creates hope. In return, we can strengthen our faith eventually. 

Every mother cares for her child. Do we know how much love and time did our mother spent to look after us? Do we want to believe that we were all healthy throughout, chubby and well behaved? Do we not know that we have caused our mother to panic and stressed when we were ill? Do we not know that our bad behavior brings to our parents to suffer silently? 

Today is the Fool's Day and it could be the right moment to ask ourselves if we have treated others like 'fools'.  Our parents, elders, brothers, sisters, relatives, colleagues, friends, neighbours, and partners - did we cause them some kind of sufferings? 

One measure of our likeness to Christ is our sensitivity to the suffering of others.

DB - Tuesday 31st March 09 - Does God Care?
Jesus began to be troubled and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death." - Mark 14: 33 -34 

The power of prayer can be experienced when we submit our all to God. Our body is the temple for the Holy Spirit. Whatever we do, we should not compromise but to keep it holy. God can only speak to us if His temple is kept in honour and uprightness. Many of us can testify how our prayers worked and transformed our lives. Faith that has built up over the years would grant to us this wonderful relationship we have with our Father in Heaven.  

The important fact is that we know God cares. His love and well being, reach out to each and everyone one of us. In His sight, we are all sinners and He calls us to be His own. He sent His only Son to die for our sins and now Jesus is the only bridge that restores our relationship with God.  


Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we can rest on His promises that He would give us His water so that we do not thirst any more. It is heartening to know that Jesus is deeply troubled and deeply distressed when one of His sheep is lost and wondered away from His care. It is also timely to be reminded not to stray away from the path of righteousness. 


 When we know that God's hand is in everything, we can leave everything in God's hand.

DB - Monday 30th March 09 - Unclean? Be Cleansed!

Jesus, moved with compassion stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." - Mark 1: 41 


An old abandoned building that stood over a few decades would need an urgent restoration to return to its former glamour.  Only professionals and good skilled workers can restore this old building. 


 A man who has withstood the onslaught in life all by himself, equally need to be restored as he would be weak and stricken by worldly demands and temptations. If he realised that God has loved him and chosen him to be one of His children, there is hope. The only one way to restore his life into glamour and delight is to have Jesus Christ as his Lord and Master. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can be restored into His likeness except by His Grace and Blessing. We serve a merciful saviour who would clean all our wounds; remove all dirt and pain, restore our health and give us a second chance to be whole again. What we need is endurance and faith. 

Jesus specializes in restoration.
