Isaiah 41:10

Isaiah 41:10

My baptismal text. Frankly when I receive this verse as my baptismal text, I wasn't exactly happy. Reason? It's way too long a verse for me to memorise. :p Didn't understand why the church gave such a long verse. BUT thanks be to the one who chose thise verse for me. It has carried me through difficult times, tough times - my SPM days, my college years, when work overwhelmes me, when fear knocks at the door of my heart.....

How could I allow myself to forget this verse, and the power it has over every situation in my life? How could I allow myself to forget the very truth that God's presence is with me and that He has His hands upon me. :)

Dear Lord, please continue to embed this truth into my heart and my spirit. Forbid it O Lord that I should allow fear to take hold of me. Manifest Your presence in my life, and hold me in Your close embrace forever. Never ever ever let me go! Thank You Lord! Amen!

(Ohh...and another beautiful thing is that my whole family was baptised on my birthday, 19 July 1992)
