From the book of Romans, I got to learn another aspect of the book that I haven't understood it before. Thanks to Mark Nakatsukasa for his wonderful sharing just in the right time that I need to hear the most. Since I'm a human, I'm so limited of being patient and I don't have much mercy for others. I can't see how God's plan can be fit for a person who has done wrong, but look at me I'm also a sinner who has done a mess thing that I shouldn't receive the forgiveness. However, I came to the point of letting God choose and do thing on his own way because he has the best thing in mind for people that I'm neglected. He knows the beginning and the end, so it's not my business to judge others, but I need to sit back and see God's mercy for each person.

Dear God, I pray for salvation to each member of my family. We all are desperate and need your mercy like rain.

I'm thankful that you never gave up on us completely, and I'm so thankful that you turn a very bad thing into a good thing for our sake. God, help me to remember and believe in your promise and totally trust you with all my heart that you care so much for me, for each person in this world. Please help me to be able to give thanks in all situation. May you be glorify through my life. May this true remind me of your grace and your perfect plan for all mankind. Thank you God!!
Love,
Gade

Jeremiah 29:11 ESV There are many people in different generation refer to this specific scripture as their comforts, their hopes, and encouragement for others which is not wrong of doing it so, but recently I read this passage over and over until I have the deeper understanding with its context and meditate on it, so I want to write it down to remind myself and share it with you. The verse before this scripture is "For Thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will visit you, and I'll fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:10-11 ESV . God told Jeremiah to write a letter stating this passage in Jerusalem and send it to the survivi...
