New Year Morning Service At St.John's

A scene from the New Year's Morning Service that I attended with my mother a few days ago

The Mother Of Jesus Christ

She is the most blessed of women. Let us honour and respect the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. And may we remember her and her faith. She said, "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord! Here I am, the servant of the Lord!" This is how she received the good news that Gabriel gave her. Though it was good news, it was news that troubled her. She wondered how she could bear a child while she was still a virgin. Finally she accepted the message of God.

I Want To Reach A Place Of Nothingness

This year is about to end. Another year will begin. If I enter the New Year, this is what I desire for myself. I want to reach a place of humility. I want to reach a place of nothingness. I want to reach a place where I will understand and accept my nothingness. And I want to remain constantly aware of my nothingness.

Troubles have greatly humbled me. May they continue to humble me. May I see myself as a little person, as a little, insignificant person, who has been enabled by God to do something in this world. Let me never lose sight of that. Let me not have any good opinion of myself. Let me not consider the possibility of my own goodness. Let me not entertain the idea that I have some original ability. This is the place of nothingness that I want to reach during this New Year.

A Bible Lost And Found

My New Year didn't begin well. I discovered that I had lost a Bible that was dear to me. But I prayed to God about it and went on with my work. The next day I found my Bible. God proved wonderful again, this time on the very first day of this year.

Thanking God For This Christmas Season

God blessed me with a rich, event-filled Christmas season. And He kept trouble out of my life in answer to my prayer.

My Many Christmases

Christmas was not easy to celebrate then. Christmas is not easy to celebrate even now.

The End Of Christmas

Trouble seemed to threaten the stability of this Christmas season. But God heard my prayer and did not let this trouble destroy our peace.

I Have Served God In My Weakness

Despite my persistent weakness God has worked through me. This miracle in itself should encourage me to place more confidence in God's working in me.
