May 12th, 2021: A New Beginning...

 


It is time to swap out tires where I am. We put our winter tires away and put on our all-season tires. We do that for fuel efficiency and safety. Many of us have been praying that there will be a change in seasons in terms of Covid-19. We are hoping that by the end of this year, life will be back somewhat to normalcy. What is that going to be?


Tire change doesn't mean a change in driving habits. Some of the bad ones continue regardless of the season of our driving condition. Are we going to change the way we treat and care for our seniors in this country? There was indeed an outcry last year about how inhumane we treated our seniors. There is a lot of talks, and talk is cheap.


We don't just change tires. We have to check the condition and the integrity of the new set of tires. Getting over Covid-19 does not mean that we have our integrity intact. There has been so much controversy and confusion when it comes to leadership or the lack thereof. So the integrity of our leaders is still in question. Lies and deceit have been put under the blanket of Covid-19. The new season might require more changes than just tires. Our search for integrity continues.


There is no surprise that tires are on special at many stores and automobile services at this time of the year. The demand is there. Some of the specials are more genuine than others. There will be a good number of opportunities for businesses as nations begin to rebuild themselves. Some are good ones, and some are just fake. We need to have the discernment to sort through all of that. We choose a set of new tires not just based on prices. The reputation and quality of service of the provider have to be part of the equation. Growth with consistency and integrity is needed after this mess is over.


Ezekiel 11: 9

 

"I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh."


Isaiah 40: 31

 

"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. "

Sept 4th, 2024: Praying in Images

Image
It has been a rough few days. Living in immense pain does not allow us much energy to think about anything. I ended up praying in images, and not many words came out of my mouth. Most of the images were of people I know. God knew that I was praying for them as their faces came to my mind. I did not need to mention the circumstances or situations of their lives—He knows. My heart was at peace as I ended my days with these images. He will take care of my body, and I know this because I was able to get some sleep. Tomorrow is in His hands.

Aug 31st, 2024: Confession

Image
Dealing with pain sometimes affects our ability and flexibility. A physiotherapist friend gave me a set of home exercises to help with that. They are simple yet intense at the same time. Dealing with our human brokenness sometimes affects our ability to see and hear God. Our commitment to spiritual disciplines must be at the core of our relationship with God. One of the disciplines I have been trying to embrace more fully is confession. It’s not just about recognizing where we have gone wrong; it’s about how we have chosen to live our lives independently from God. It’s about whether we truly want God to be part of our lives. The absence of meaningful confession will damage our freedom to experience intimacy with God. "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." - Proverbs 28:13

May 18th, 2020: Why Forgiveness?

Image
  A young man called me last night and he was tormented by his relationship with his mother. It is not because she was a horrible mom. It was unresolved grief that is caused by his dad's suicide a few years ago. Emotionally, he blames parents for his father's death although he knows intellectually that it is not right. I knew the father a bit because his mother and her family came to see me for help when they first arrived in Canada. He was a brilliant physician and who was quite loved by people of a small northern town in Alberta. He was awkward in some ways and very uncomfortable in social conversations. This young man has had many conversations with me ever since the suicide. His father's death has been a major topic of our time together. Most of our conversation yesterday was about forgiveness. We were talking about forgiving people who never ask or haven't got a chance to ask us to forgive them. The question is whether we can forgive without being asked. His father...
