"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine."
Isaiah 43:1b
Sometimes in our trying times, we forgot our citizenship in God's kingdom. We let the overwhelming situations take us on an unpleasant ride, a ride that we dislike yet choose to ride upon. But God have already redeemed us, and extends an awesomeinvitation to ride on His shoulders!
And in trials, I often wonder; 'What is God's intentions towards me? To go through what I am going through now?' I like the way how an author (John Eldredge) puts us that 'we've been told any number of times that God does care, and there are some pretty glowing promises given to us in Scripture along these lines. But on the other hand, we have the days of our lives, and they have a way of casting a rather long shadow over our hearts when it comes to God's intentions toward us in particular.' Don't we often feel that way? If we do, try changing our attitudes today. A citizen of God that never quits nor fears.
Jesus didn't just come to forgive. He came to givelife. Through redemption we are given renewed life, and so we belong to Jesus! You are His.

Prayers from the Body:
Do remember Ivin, Enoch, Esther and Ivy in prayers as they say goodbye to their lately departed grandmother. We have the hope that she is now in a better place with our Lord and we pray for God's peace, comfort and joy to be with the entire family as they stand together as one. May those in their families who have not come to the saving knowledge of Jesus be reached as well through believing family members.
