Congrats Jen!

I just came back from Jen Lin's wedding! May God bless her and her husband, Khai. I'm so excited and happy for them. God is truly great!

They had a beautiful wedding service - one that completely gave all glory to God. It is so amazing to see what God has done in each of their lives. He really is an incredible God, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Saviour of all.

I don't think Jen knows this, but she continually comes up in my prayers. I always thank God for putting her in my life. Jen's passion and love for God is infectious. She was the one that helped me to understand and realize that God really is REAL. That He's bigger than all of us. That His love for us is greater than anything our limited minds could ever grasp. Most of all, she SHOWS this love in her daily life.

God, no doubt, used her to teach me many important lessons in life. He used her to teach me the fact that God blesses us all. But He doesn't bless us so we can just keep it all to ourselves. He blesses us so that we may, in turn, bless others. Jen, herself, is a living example of this. God has blessed her, and she keeps this cycle of love going by being a blessing to others. By loving them.

God also used her to teach me "Soli Deo Gloria" - giving God all the glory.

Another lesson that I've learned from her is the importance of service. Life isn't just about us. It's about helping others.

What I admire most about Jen is that she doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk, too.

I'm writing this as a little "tribute" to Jen (and may the glory be given to God)...but more so, because I want to encourage all of you the way Jen has encouraged me. God is so full of love. And He is SO real. "Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 11-12.

Congratulations Jen! I wish you and Khai all the best in your new life together! :)
