Devotion

Today, my devotion was on Psalm 51: 1-4, about Daniel confessing his sins to God.

In essence, it reminds us that true conviction involves: 1. need for mercy, which is from God. 2. we see sin for what it really is, filthy and wrong. 3. Sin is an inescapable reality, until we choose to consciously take a step to get rid of it. 4. We realise that we have sinned against God. It's not essential to know that we have sinned. More importantly, we need to take active steps to get rid of the sins that plague us.

Yesterday, I did. I took a bold step in confronting my sin and dedicated that aspect of my life to God. I have to say that it has been tough so far, though it has only been a day. I've been facing moments of joy, then anger and sadness. My mood fluctuated like crazy the whole day and it turned my world upside down.

I long for the victory in our Lord that comes after this.

Regards,
Yin Ting

hey cousin.. just thought of this:

JAmes 1:2-4
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

therefore cousin, hold on if you feel like letting go. (:

Hey Jami's cousin,

It's been a day ... how has it been? Is it looking like victory yet? Or does the battle rage on?
