He holds my future
By Sola Lee
It has been one year 10 months now since I uprooted from Kuching, Sarawak, to Selangor with only a few hundred ringgit in my savings. From the moment I placed my foot here, I told God that He was in charge and fully responsible for my family me.God has blessed me to this day. He provided me shelter in the houses of strangers, gave me a job I never applied for and gave me an apartment when I have no money for a down payment. The list goes on and on.
I promised myself I would be a good testimony. Honestly I don’t know where to begin. I guess I will share what I have learned instead.
I love to analyse things logically to find out why and how things happen. When God gave me an apartment, I learned that the unconditional love of God is beyond human reasoning; it will never make sense. If I tried to analyse and consider all the variables needed to take place for me to get that apartment, I would just get anxious.
I was raised to work hard in everything to earn my way up, to confess all my sins and stay in favor with God. But God provided for my every needs — from a parking space to my family problems and a complex office problem — even on my most “sinful” day. I learned that God loves me, not because of my good work but because of what Jesus has done for me and because He is love.
Like everyone, I have problems — I have job insecurity, I am not sure if I can finance my house loans, credit cards and family groceries. I do not know what will happen in 2012 and beyond. The Chinese horoscope says the water dragon year will be a good year for me. Others say 2012 brings in the apocalypse. There are so many uncertainties, variables and unanswered questions.
There is only one truth — Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little one to him belong, I am blessed for He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me: yes, Jesus loves me; yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so.
God’s love and grace alone is enough to sustain my family against all the odds in the world today.
