Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
psalm 100:4
thanks bread twin for sharing this verse with me (:
Dear God, i come to You in this day with thanksgiving in my heart.
Thank You that You've found me in my darkest moments and held me by the hand walking me through this storm. Though i knew it was never gonna be easy, yet time and time again, You whispered into my ears, " Yvonne, don't be afraid because you're not alone. " It was easy to tell Him, " Lord, am tired. I feel like giving up. " But His loving hands and grace was sufficient to sustain me through it. On that very day, i was listening to this song, " I'll praise You in this storm" I came across this sentence, " I remember when I stumbled in the wind, You heard my cry and raised me up again. " I was thinking who am I that God would hear my cry and would care for this little soul. The answer was, " This God who i put my trust in, loved me from the beginning and will continue to love me till the end of the edge. " What else could I ask for when I have a Father that loves me so much. When i was young, all i wanted was for my Dad to cuddle me in His arms, all i longed for was for him to pat my back and tell me, " well done yvonne
" for my results. Although it never came, when the disappointment seemed so overwhelming, here I am being reminded that I have this gift of love from God in my hands, all i have to do is to receive this love. Isn't this amazing? This love so unconditional will not mind how tall or short i am, if i rich or poor and will not care the mistakes or good works i've done. How sure i can be of this love? A love so great that He could give His life for an unworthy soul like me...
here am I offering my five loaves and two fishes to You.
Continue to teach me to be more like You.
