divine coincidences...

On the first court hearing last week, I was waiting alone for my lawyer at the lobby area outside their office when I heard a few lines of a song that goes something like..."you lift me by my hands...to higher ground". If you can recall my blog entry on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, you can see the "coincidence". I see this as another of God's grace for the moment.

Yesterday, I was early for our 1st pre-trial conference and decided to have some coffee at one of the cafes across from the courthouse. As I sat there, I was drawn to the cafe's signboard. The cafe was probably owned by a Christian as written on it was the verse Deuteronomy 8: 3 - "He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." When we've been humbled and deprived, we learn to appreciate the simple but divine. Another of God's "little graces"?

God is good!!

Jesus - The Reason for the Season

Christmas is here again. This year, more than many others before, I'm pondering on the reason for the celebrations - the coming of Christ Jesus. Jesus has been given completely to us and it is for each one of us to receive this gift and to make Him, our All in ALL. The choice is ours and our world changes upon that choice. I wish you Jesus because in Him is everything that is good.

Jesus - Lover of my soul
In the midst of the storm,
Keep my soul safe in the hollow of your hand.
Deliver, comfort, heal, purify, and lead me towards eternity.

Jesus - Guardian of my mind
Renew my mind and transform me from within,
That I may know Your good , pleasing and perfect will.
Fill me, Spirit that I may know the mind of Christ,
And that my mind be set only on heavenly things.

Jesus - Lord of my heart
Create in me a new and pure heart,
One which is after Your own.
Tune my heart that it may sing of Your abundant grace,
And that my will and ways may become one with Yours.
