Felines and Faith

Jess and I spotted this mother cat and one of her kittens yesterday next to the Queenstown hawker centre. Her kitten looked like an exact replica of the one we couldn't save just 3wks back, whom we found just a few metres from this spot...






And here's Willow, looking a lot more comfortable on my bed than she did last week! Really manja.





Animals aside. About faith and surrender - I'm continuing to grasp the concept of faith as a choice. If I choose to believe, that IS faith. However, with that choice comes expectations from God. And with expectations, there comes disappointment. In these, there is a need to balance our management of expectations with our handlings of disappointment.

The Lord reminded me, quite timely that "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." 2 Peter 1:3. How silly it is for me to worry about trials, tribulations or disappointment... shouldn't I rather be thanking Him for giving me all that I need for life and godliness! Peter goes on to say that we should make every effort to add to our faith goodness, knowledge, self control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. What a long way I have to go in my walk with Him.
