The GOOD NEWS

No broken promises

Dearest God, thank You so much for Your promises written in the Bible. May

I remember always to trust fully in Your

Word.

Isaiah 55: 10-11 Psalm 34: 4-5, 6-7, 16

17, 18-19 Matthew 6: 7-15

On February 19, 2011, we had a one-day silent recollection entitled “In the Eye of the storm.” This gave attended insights on how to pass through their problems and go beyond them with peace, more faith and hope in their hearts.

During the sharing, a widow related how she called on God at her husband’s deathbed. She questioned Him, “why didn’t You come? Why did You take Him away? He was the only one who always stuck by me.”

God made me here experience His loving embrace through the recollection. During her reflection, He assured her that He was with her throughout her ordeal. He also showed her the new life ahead of her. As a result, she decided to resume her studies in Education. Her hope was renewed. So was her faith in God.

God said He loves us so much. He promised He will not abandon us, He will take care of us. No matter how much we don’t understand God’s ways or how long we wait for His answer, let’s keep on believing and hoping that God will see us through. God’s promises will never be broken. Ma.
