A thousand times i've failed still your mercy remains

something from a devotion awhile back..

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! —Psalm 100:1

Psalm 100 is one of the great songs of thanksgiving in the Bible. It calls us to realize that we belong to God our Maker (vv.3-4), and to praise Him for His goodness, mercy, and truth (v.5).

During a recent reading, however, I was struck by a phrase that speaks of expressing thanks in a tangible, willing way: “Serve the Lord with gladness” (v.2). 

Many times my service to God is more grudging than glad. I do what I consider my duty, but I’m not happy about it.

Oswald Chambers put his finger on my unthankful attitude when he said: “The will of God is the gladdest, brightest, most bountiful thing possible to conceive, and yet some of us talk of the will of God with a terrific sigh—‘Oh well, I suppose it is the will of God,’ as if His will were the most calamitous thing that could befall us. . . . We become spiritual whiners and talk pathetically about ‘suffering the will of the Lord.’ Where is the majestic vitality and might of the Son of God about that!”

True thankfulness is more than being grateful for what we possess. It’s an attitude that permeates our relationship with the Lord so that we may serve Him with gladness and joy. —David McCasland

Then let us adore and give Him His right,

All glory and power, all wisdom and might,


All honor and blessing, with angels above,


And thanks never ceasing for infinite love. —Wesley

natasha is learning to give thanks..

she is learning to thank him for the littlest things.

because she's now a second year medical student,
because she is still sane,
because she is fearfully and wonderfully made,
because she is blessed beyond measure

because her family is alive and well..

she's pseudo-tired. looks tired but not really tired. hmm.

she needs sleep.

her baju-kurung hunt went well today but its to be continued soon.

she's gonna be in kl longer that she had hoped for. she wants to go home but she's glad she has her brother to bother for the next 2 weeks or so. 

she definitely needs sleep now.

signing off.
