Thought for the day

Haven’t been blogging lately… No guarantees to do it more often unfortunately.

But just my thoughts for today and these past days I’ve been back here in the Philippines.

I once again am seeing the REAL need here. The real need for just everyday physical things – money, food, shelter; everyday ‘inside’ things – security, love, hope, a reason for living. The real need for JESUS – a real, experiential relationship with Him.

I can’t believe I’ve been so caught up in my own personal problems thinking they were so big. Why was I not aware that there has been this bigger picture of people in REAL need. In REAL need. In REAL need.

God help me keep faithful with what You’ve trusted me now. Help me see what more I can do. Help always see the bigger picture – help me live my life in a way that really helps fulfil what You intend for it.

I pray Lord for my family, friends and the strangers I’ve met here in the Philippines – reveal Your desire to be in a relationship with them. Meet them where they’re at. Meet them and give according to their REAL needs. Lord this I pray in Your mighty, saving Name. Amen.
