There are times I know I am not worthy of my service to God because I hurt people that I care for the most. I feel ruin & desolate [19], bereaved (very sad), barren (useless), rejected & left alone [21]. At times I feel like I have labored to no purpose & spent my strength in vain & for nothing [4]. And I even despise & abhor myself [7]...
But my Word reading today, Isaiah 49, responded exactly to what I needed! It says...
The LORD, my Savior, Redeemer, the Mighty One, the One & Only (holy), the One who formed me in the womb [5], called me even before I was born, made mention of my name at my birth (gave my identity) [1]...He is very faithful [7] that He won't forget me, because at the cross, He engraved me in the palm of His hands [16]. And like a breastfeeding mother who doesn't forget her baby, He will not forget nor abandon me more than her [15]. THAT IS SUPERB!
I find honor in His eyes [5] that even if I am not worthy He chose me to be His servant & through me will display His splendor (greatness) [3]. He will use me to bring back His people to Him so that they may see His Salvation [5,6] & restore broken lives [8].
Though I maybe afflicted as I serve Him, He will comfort me & show His compassion on me [13]. I should only put my hope in Him so that I will not be disappointed [23] for He is my strength [5].
In His time He will show His favor. He will answer & help me [8] and I will receive a reward from Him [4]!
Isn't that AWESOME! Shouldn't I even say now: THAT IS MORE THAN WHAT I NEEDED!

Leadership In-placed!
When you pray for a leader in a certain ministry the Lord really provides!
God placed Deo in the Grace Group Ministry! He was/is the answer for the big help needed in discipleship area!
We just had our Leadership Meeting tonight casting the vision for next year's new system in the said ministry & I was amazed how Deo presented the methods to be applied!
Though he was completely busy in his job for the past few months he devoted himself to our one on one meetings where I shared with him our vision for the grace group ministry. He even had a special time to seat in some grace groups to see its effectiveness!
I praise God for His assignment of the right Leader in Grace Place this year!
