Born for such a time as this (part 2).....

The elections in my country took place and once again I found myself in a place where my will and God’s will differed. My hopes and dream of a better country through the national elections did not happen. I know its not the end of my hope for change….but I placed very high hopes on change in that election. There is a change….not in the way I wanted it but there is. I watched the people fearlessly speak, act on their beliefs and most of all stand up for a better country like never before. We prayed like never before. The government is shaken by it…..but we have a long way to go. Corruption takes place without guilt or a second thought here. The church throughout Malaysia has prayed, and I believe that God is working. Not the way I or most people expect or want Him to, but His thoughts are higher than mine….and I will trust Him because He has always shown me that His ways are always perfect. I have to keep speaking the truth that “God is still in charge” repeatedly cause sometimes what happens in the natural sways me from the truth and I get caught up in my situations and circumstances. As I deal with the heartache, God heals my heart and mind through His promises and assurance. Even now He mends my heart, cleanses my mind from negative thoughts and purifies my heart. Sometimes God shuts one door because He has a better plan. All He asks is that you “do not trust in princes nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help……but hope in the Lord God” (Psalms 146: 3 and 5). These are days that great things will happen and I still believe it. I'm blessed to be born for such a time as this.

To my Malaysians who still find themselves in grief and despair.....I truly believe God will never forsake our desire for a better Malaysia if we continue to pray and seek Him. 

To the rest of the world who prayed for us, I thank you for that. We still believe God will prove Himself faithful to us.
