“But since the water still covered all the land, the dove did not find a place to light. It flew back to the boat, and Noah reached out and took it in… It returned to him in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. So Noah knew that the water had gone down.” (Genesis 8:9-11)

Today’s devotional reading again, teaches us the lesson of faith… as if Holy Spirit is reminding me what I lack of the most at this moment - faith. Yes, faith is always what I lack of… especially as it comes to the things I want, or the girl I like, or the man I wish to become…as it comes to WHAT I WANT from God.


Now being at an appropriate age of settling down, colleagues from work can’t seem to stop wondering why I don’t have a girlfriend… and never had one b4… (I wonder who told them that..hmm..andy…ha)… There were times I couldn’t help but to doubt myself… and God…, wondering: is there something wrong with me? Is it the way I look? The way I talk? Or the way I think?

“No, it’s the way My promises are done” God says. Yes. God’s Word, His promise of remembrance, is more substantial and dependable than any evidence of our senses. When He grants us the visible evidence of His promise, joy fills us; without the visible evidence, we still appreciate Him for we have trusted Him all along with the faith in our hearts.


“Those who are readiest to trust God without other evidence than His Word always receive the greatest number of visible evidences of His love.”

Now, as my colleagues (even my boss) are still trying to figure out the Riddle of the Century, I, with God by my side, should wonder no more. Amen.

Plus, with so many excellent girls around me to choose from, there shouldn’t be a problem , don’t you agree? ;) ..ha …

P.S. I finished Nodame today~ Sooooooo goooooood~~ I love Nodame~! SHe is the first girl on the silver screen Im crazy about...

The Pursuit of Holiness: Reflections said...

Haha..true..but those qualities of Nodame can be overshadowed by her outstanding qualities :P…just like what happened in the drama…
She’s very nice, innocent, confident at what she’s doing, hard-working, considerate, 很有心, and supportive to the man she loves.
And…I love her 對著 chiaki 傻笑……I’d want me girl to do that…:P…it’d be so fun~ :D…
