It is Maundy Thursday today. Today I realised something so true about the bible. No matter how many times you've read and re read the same passage, God always has something new to say to us each time. I've read the following passage so many times but today the message really hit home. It's especially appropriate as I begin my 33rd year in this world that God has placed me.
"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matt 26:39
How more sacrificial can God be that He allowed His only beloved son to die for us. And although Jesus pleaded for it not to happen, He acknowledge God's will and obeyed every step till the end. How do we compare to that? How do we respond that? Do we acknowledge God's will and plans in our life?
It has made me realised that no matter what problems we are facing now, no matter how lonely we feel, no matter what obstacles we face, no matter what illness we face, as long as we walk close to God, those obstacles and situations that we face is just a glimpse into God's bigger purpose for us and those around. Are we willing to allow God to hold our hand and lead us through our difficult times and say yes God may your plan come to fullness and may Your will be done in my life.

Thanks to boy for reminding me that I'm starting my 33rd year and not 32nd. Losing track of time. Clear sign of old age :-)
Thanks to boy and wifey for lovely surprise and cake. Will take picture and put it on the blog.
