I know the title sounds depressing but it's actually quite a revelation for me. I have been given a One Year Bible (pocket size) as a gift for my birthday by my cell leader. I promised her that I will read it faithfully everyday. As she has assured me that I will grow and mature through out this year long journey if I stay faithful to our Heavenly Father.
On 23Nov, I read through the old and the new testament as usual with my highlighter in place, ready to highlight any passage that strikes my heart. I am usually very "stingy" with the highlighter. But then I got t0 Psalm 119:33-48 and I know that God knows deep in my heart my fear and worry. He knows that I long to walk his path and that I long to obey his commands but somehow my action is not following his Words. Then he point this passage to me and that is exactly what the passage is telling me. 33"Teach me, O Lord, to follow every one of your principles." 35"Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found." 38-40"Reassure me of Your promise, which is for those who honor You. Help me abandon my shameful ways; Your laws are all I want in life. I long to obey Your commandments! Renew my life with Your goodness."
I know I still have a long way to go but I am just so thankful to our awesome God for knowing to keep reminding me that He is here for me!

Oli, that's such great sharing. Thanks so much. Can really feel that God has blessed you thru the verses, and in turn your sharing of His Words also blessed my life. Thank you.
Oh yes. So true. Lately just realise that it's not by learning that we can walk along HIS path. And it's never be able for me to follow HIM by my hardworking, ability or anything else. It's ALL by HIS grace and blessing. It's such a great reminder that "Help me abandon my shameful ways..." Oli, thanks for sharing.
