With a humble heart

Seek the Lord with a humble heart.
Seek Him on your knees and pray.
Worship Him with truthfulness and in spirit.
Don't just sing for the sake of singing
for it's displeasing to the Lord.

He's your everything.
Do not stray away from Him.
Without God, life's meaningless and empty.
Do not murmur or complain.

Be holy in the presence of God.
Treat God with full respect,
and with the fear of the Lord.

Do not take advantage of His grace and mercy.
Do not take Christ lightly.
Repent from your old ways.
Be convicted of your wrong doings.
Open your heart and ear to hear
the Lord's still small voice.
Be wise in everything you do,
and practise justice.
Do not judge your brother.
Always think positive,
and love one another.
Spend more quiet time with the Lord.

stay calm..

Just listen to God’s voice, he is continuously speaking to you.
Stay calm in your spirit, let God be your guide,
let Him take over and follow His steps.
God has all His plans laid out in front of us,
all that is left is for us to see and follow.
Your heavenly Father loves you a lot,
He wants you to know that He has the best future ahead of you,
plans to prosper and not to harm you.
But what each and every of us need is peace,
to be still and know that He is God.
He is looking down on you, aware of your coming in and going out,
He sees everything and knows your thoughts.
He has His plans but only you could decide what your life is gonna be like,
for God had given us the greatest gift of all time – freewill.
Look to Jesus, look to that gentle shepherd,
who never forgets His sheep, not even one of them.
Let His gentle spirit guide you and be the light in your darkest hour.
Let there be no room for fear in your heart, for God is of love and grace.
Let the joy of the Lord be your strength!
When the storm arises, when the mountain seems too high,
call out upon the name of Jesus, for He hears the righteous prayer.
Be of comfort to know that our Abba Father, our best friend, our everything,
is not only up there looking over us,
but also living in us. He loves you dearly.

your God is big

Do not disobey God's commandments,
but walk in your calling.
Do not push aside or ignore the Holy Spirit,
but do things in the Lord's will,
and lean not on thy own understanding.
Trust the Lord in all things.

Do not delay God's plan upon your life,
or else you're hindering
God's blessings upon your life.
Indeed know that your God is BIG.
Just imagine how great God is;
stretch your imagination,
and multiply that a trillion times;
that's how great God really is.
God has said it again and again n the bible..
"Do not fear."
So take it seriously; do not be afraid.

And if God is your partner, dream BIG,
for God is a big God.
Just do your VERY best, give your ALL,
and let God do the rest; God cannot fail.
But do not go ahead of God,
taking the lead yourself,
but let God be God, and see the glory of God.
For God is real.

He really cares for you, but are you ready
to accept the Lord as master and Lord?
God'll manifest His power through you,
if you take the first step to say...
"God, I'm ready; use me."
and mean it when you say it.

He is a righteous God,
and you shall see the day
when righteousness reigns,
even though the situation now
does not show that.

Do not be discouraged
by the things you're facing now.
Whatever you sow, you shall reap.
Read the bible, and connect
everything there's in it,
with your own life,
and you'll see miracles happen in your life.
Stay strong in your faith,
and keep praying without ceasing.

I the Lord am saying to you....

I give My grace to the humble.
My first grace to you is ...
know the level of your own deception.
Knowing this brings true humility.
Like Paul, you must be struck blind
in order to see.
True humility is agreement with the Truth

It profits not for you to compare youself with others.
If you keep looking to Me,
then you'll go far.
Many are distracted by looking at themselves.
Your own reasoning only leads you
to do wrong things in the wrong way.

You'll ONLY have wisdom and judgements
unless you abide in Me.
The more you mature, the more you'll know
your desperate need of Me.
Only when you allow who you are
to be exposed...then only you'll walk in the light.

the Lord is saying to you....

Always trust in the Lord.
Know that He is always by your side.
Seek the Lord in the times of your troubles.
Tell your needs to God,
and when you ask from Him,
have no doubt at all.
Know the Word of God, and practise it.
Allow the Lord take control over your life.
From a sincere heart, desire Godly things,
and turn away from the evil thoughts.

Desire and have peace with one another,
for this pleases the Lord,
and love one another.
Obey the commandments,
for if you disobey one, it means disobeying all.

Always think positively,
and have compassion towards one another.
Know that you're a child of God,
and your duty is to live a life that pleases Him.

Do not murmur or complain,
but be contented in the things that you have.
Learn the principles of God's Word, and practise them.
Make sure that everything that proceeds
out of your mouth is the truth,
that brings blessing to the people surrounding you.

Love the Lord with all your heart,
all your soul, and all your mind.
Remember that the Lord is always for you,
if you're under His favour.
The Lord knows your every desire,
and He shall fulfill them according to His time and His will.
But if your desires are to bring pleasure to yourself,
then the Lord shall not fulfill them for you,
because you must die to self.

Discover the true meaning of Christianity,
and build an intimate relationship with God,
a bond that no evil can shake, nor storms can destroy,
for what God builds, no one can destroy.
Believe in the power of His name,
and you shall see miracles.

Jesus died on the cross, not only to give salvation,
but also to bring healing and freedom and victory.
Jesus went to and gone through hell for your sake.
Stay faithful and loyal to the Lord,
for our God is a jealous God;
He longs, day and night, for your attention and your time.

Always be merciful to others,
as the Lord has been merciful to you.
Forgive sincerely and completely from your heart,
and love one another with agape love,
as the Lord also has forgiven you your many sins,
and also love you by dying for you on the cross.
You can never repay back what the Lord has done for you.
At least you can forgive and love others in return.




your destiny is far better than u can ever imagine




God loves you and you know it.
But what you need to do now is to know God deeper. . .
to know Him as God, also as a friend in times of need,
a savior … a father.

The Lord knows that you have many unanswered questions,
whose lines and boundaries that are blurred,
many gray areas between black and white.
But this is life.
It is your walk with Jesus,
your daily encounter with Him.

Let the Holy Spirit be your teacher
as He guides you through the baby steps that you are now taking.
Don’t act too fast, but slow down;
just listen to your heart.

Have the peace of God in you,
for no fear, confusion or doubt should be in your heart,
if you have Jesus dwelling in your heart.

Let the joy of the Lord be your strength,
let your days be filled with laughter and blessings from above.
Let every single day be a celebration with Jesus.

Unless you empty your cup, you can’t be filled with God’s living water.
Feed your spiritual body,
let the soul in you grow,
to be more and more like Jesus.

Have a teachable heart. (Jesus said, "Learn of Me.."Matthew 11:29)
Hold God’s hand as He guides you through your darkest path,
when you think you’re all alone in this mess.

Search your heart and know that somewhere deep down inside there’s a God;
there’s a savior living in you.
He deserves your worship and praises;
He desires your time and love.
This still, small voice that’s in you,
it will help you sail through the storm;
it will be the light unto your path.

Being a Christian is not about being converted into another religion,
but is to know who you are – a child of God,
the heir to the Kingdom of God.
It’s about knowing your position, believing it and living it.

This is a wonderful journey that you have embarked on
and your destiny is far better than what this world could offer,
even better than what you’ve ever imagined or dreamed.

covenant keeping God

Put your trust and hope in the Lord.
Don't be discouraged, when things do not seem to go your way.
Do not be afraid, but be of good courage.
What's there to fear, if The Lord is always beside you?
Trust in the Lord in everything that you do.
Be patient, and wait upon Him.

The world may think that you're foolish,
but remember, they said the same thing to God's prophets.
Remember you're serving the Almighty God.

Please God in everything that you do.
Ask for His grace and mercy everyday.
Repent from your sinful ways.
Do not have evil thoughts of others,
and the Lord shall strengthen you daily.

Do not give up easily, but press on all the time.
remember, everthing that happens, happens for a reason.
You might not see it now, but you'll one day.
When you find yourself in difficulties,
and it seems you can't search and reach God's hand,
know that, you can always trust His heart.
God is always thinking of you.

Jesus will never forsake us.
He knows when we're down or upset or lonely or hurt.
He feels it too.
No matter how much we've sinned and hurt His heart,
He's ever ready to forgive us,
to accept us with opened arms.

Our God is a covenant keeping God.
This day, decide to make a covenant with teadHim,
and begin to live the life that pleases Him.
Don't fall into temptation, but stay firm in His teachings.
Be a person, who focus on the promises of God.

Do not allow emotions pull you down,
or the circumstances overtake you.
Instead, think positively with a strong mind,
and praise God with a joyful heart.
Be thankful.

Let the love of God fills your heart;
let it overflows to others.
The Lord's command is to love one another.

Do not have doubts in your heart,
as regards your faith in Christ.
Allow the Spirit of God take control over your life,
and you'll see the glory of the Lord.


you are loved

When we struggle against many things in life..temptations, selfish desires, anger, bitterness,
even smoking, gambling, fun and pleasure and so on,
we get weary and worn out, because it's tiring and a hard thing to do.
And we find no rest.
And here Jesus said to us,"Come to Me and I will give you rest.'
The Lord wants us to stop struggling, come to Him and find rest in Him,
to sit at His feet and learn of HIm "for He is gentle and lowly of heart."
And let His peace fills you.

How and why you can find rest in Him? Because Jesus said,
"For My way is easy and My burden is light."
His way is higher. He has the best for us in His heart.
His way is easy and comfortable, without so much struggle and failure.
His way will not be hard on you, for God will always provide a way of escape.
His way is tailor-made for you. It's comfortable because it fits you perfectly like a coat.
He knows your weaknesses and abilities.
You only need to come to Him and learn of Him,
to lean on Him and let Him take over
and you will see breakthrough in your life,
no matter how bad your situation, no matter how impossible the outlook
you will see victory. You will have peace.

As in Psalm 23, even if you walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
it'll not come near you. It'll remain a shadow.
You will fear no evil for the Lord is with you.
If God is for you, who and what can come against you?
The Lord will even prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you.
You will lie down on green pasture to rest, and find peace and sleep.
The Lord watches over you for He never slumbers.
No need to be anxious. No need to fear.
The Lord will lead you in the paths of righteousness.

The Lord says to you,
"You don't have to do it all by yourself.Let Me do it for you.
Just hold My hand and lean on My strength.
Let My wing carry you. Be strong in My strength.
Be strong by leaning on Me. Find rest in Me.
And you will run and faint not, because I will carry you
and you can climb the mountain and soar like the eagle.


If you cry out to Me,"Lord, help me! I need You! I cannot handle this on my own!"
Then the Lord will say to you,"Yes you cannot but I can.Let Me take over."
God wants us to come to Him and lean on His strength, so He can help us.
God can only help when you look to Him.
When you seek Him, you will find Him.
"My eyes look to the hills.Where does my help comes from?
It comes from the Lord."
When you are in deep trouble, there is no one who can really help except the Lord.
like David who strengthened himself in the Lord.
When everything and everyone turn against you,
your Heavenly Father is the only One who will help you through.
He will come and be the strength of your life.
He will not leave you weak and helpless.
He gives you the breakthrough you need.

"Until you find peace and rest in God,
God cannot do anything for you.
When we take charge of our lives,
God steps aside.

When we want to do things our own ways,
God let us.

But when we say, "God I need You. I cannot handle by myself."
God comes in and begins to work even bad things into good for those who love Him.
God watches over everyone, but He only protects those who obey and love Him.
Therefore Run back to the Arms of love.
Run back to your Abba Father who loves you.

Trust in the Lord. He is the provider of all things.
Find rest in Him for He knows all our needs.
Have peace within you. Our Lord is the Prince of peace.
Therefore have His peace in you.
Have faith in your heavenly Father."

a place to turn to

it is my hope
the Word of Truth can be a place
to turn to
can be the light
in the darkness of confusion
when people don't accept me
my parents
my friends
society itself
don't understand
when things happen
that i find hard to accept
that i don't agree
that are not fair
when life has no purpose
it's like a rat race
when people don't care
when life's painful and hard
no where to go
people so cold
i have done foolish things
i have my regrets
my world is broken
all the wounds and scars
all the memories and hurts
all my weaknesses , all my flaws
overwhelm me
but who can you trust
I wake up in the morning
look into the mirror
I feel so down
What's there to look forward to?
Life's beating me down
Life's so unkind
why?
why am i here?
i did not bring myself here
why there're no answers?
why me?
should i go on?
what's the point?
is it worth it?
yes
in spite of everything
because you've not found the answer
life has a purpose
life has a destiny
only if you allow yourself
to be humble enough
so you can see
if you're humble enough
to go on your knees
to seek the truth
he who seeks certainly find
it's a promise
you can be sure "it's mine."
do you sincerely seek?
have you been deceived by wrong thinking
you're not even awared of?
The Word of God says....
"Come to Me and I'll give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you
and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you'll find rest
for your soul"
 
Out there there is
only One God
One Truth that lies beneath all mysteries
One road that leads to eternity
 
follow Jesus n u will see the Truth
U will find your way eventually
let Him guide u
let Him bring u through the storms.
 
Across the oceans, across the skies
there is only One Kingdom
one true treasure
n it belongs to us
 
live life meaningfully
God is always there for u
just call out His name
n He will come to u to rescue u
 
God is with u in every situation
acknowledge His presence
learn to let God's love control u
let it overflow in u
when all hope is lost
know that the Lord will light your path
follow the lead
let Him be Lord over your life
dwell in His presence
spend time alone with Him
 
all the time think about God
whenever u r about to do something,
talk to Him first
let Him be part of everything u do
be a part of your life
even when u wake up in the morning,
be grateful n give praise to Him
for leading u to give u success
in all u do to give u a good future
even when u r going to sleep,
think of His goodness each day brings
 
bring all your cares n worries n burdens to Him.
be humble before Him; pray to Him
 each coming day shall be a new day for you
His grace n mercy r new every morning
like the branch abiding in the vine,
let your roots grow deeper in Him
let your love grows stronger each day
 
Always seek the Lord with a humble heart.
Do not let your selfish desires lead you astray
or the cares of the world or the things of the world choke His Word
but take a step of faith n see for yourself His faithfulness
He shall bless you.He is a covenant-keeping God
His covenant, He will not break.
Know that He is your God n you are HIS People.
His protected ones, His blessed ones.
Do not murmur n complain like the Israelites in the wilderness
thinking of the garlics n onions, meat n bread in Egypt.
but appreciate the manna of God, whatever you own
Seek Him on your knees n pray
n God will bless you indeed.

Be humble in His presence.

Be careful of pride in your heart. It can hinder your relationship.
Instead think like a child, be like a child coming to the father
and do not confuse yourself.
Pride can bring confusion in our thinking n our desires.
Do things in His ways for they are much higher than ours
and lean not on thy own understanding.
but always do things in His way, pleasing to Him.
Always put Him first in everything.
Fear the Lord your God . Serve Him n trust Him with all your heart.
Do not take delight in the things of the world, but in Him alone.
For He is a jealous God. Love Him. delight in His holiness.
Cast all your cares unto Him, n He will give you strength.
He will protect you. He will work things out for your good,
your children, your children's children.
He will meet your needs. Like Abraham, walk in faith.
Let Him guide you. Always wait upon Him.
Seek His guidance n wisdom. His light will shine over you
n lead you in the path you are to walk in.
You will lie down on green pastures beside still waters.
No evil shall harm you. It will remain a shadow.

In whatever circumstances you are in,

remember to trust in the Lord in everything.
Always look to Him.
do not let your emotions or the circumstances carry you in the wrong way
making you run ahead of God.
one wrong decision in your haste,especially out of anger,
can have great consequences.
Instead be calm in your spirit so that you can hear His still small voice in you.
Ask for His wisdom in whatever decision you make.
Lean on Him. Not on your own strength.
Only by His grace and mercy can you overcome your difficulties.
Jesus is the only light that can lighten your path
and show you your way.

Have a caring heart. For it will also bless you in return.

Always know His heart's desire and do things in His will
so that the Lord can work things out for you.

Do not hinder His plans for you.

God only has the best for you.
But many a times, we desire the wrong things.
The will of God for you is...care and love one another.

Stay united as one.Help one another.

Understand the real love,the love that Jesus showed.
Always seek the Lord for guidance by spending quiet times with Him.

The Lord will tell you to forgive one another.

To love Him, with all your heart, soul,mind.
And not to despise others.Also don't look down upon yourself.

Know that He is always with you

and He will never forsake you.For the Lord does not change.
Also do not let the Lord grieves over your sins.
Sins will make you go astray from Him.

Your love for things of the world will make you weak.

Instead live a righteous and holy life, by His grace.
Do not take His mercy and grace for granted.
You can do nothing without Him.
So abide in Him and love Him as He first loved you.

Fear the Lord, for He is the great creator of the whole universe.

blessed the poor in spirit
know that His God
repent from your old ways
be convicted of your wrong-doings
open your heart
think positive. be wise in everything u do
judge not. love one another
spend quiet times with the Lord
let His Spirit strengthens you
let His presence comforts you
like David who strengthens himself in the Lord.
His voice is your strength
my strength is in the Lord
the best path u can ever get is the path God has prepared for u
how wonderful to be able to walk this path
it really is
but to do this, u must first put His will
over your will n over your desires
n nothing shall go wrong if u please Him this way
because His mercy n favor will back u up
will follow u all the days of your life
because who is mightier than Him?
blessings shall surely come your way
n u will gradually see God's glory manifesting in your life.

when u seek His will
when u trust in Him
when u lean not on thy own understanding, thy own will
when u acknowledge Him
He will show u this path to walk
how wonderful His path is
path of righteousness
brings peace
n God's hand of protection
the world can turn n turn
there's only 1 still point
in this turning world..
the promise of God.
it's not Einstein's theory of relativity
but the theory of the eternal plan
of God's purpose n salvation.

Many things in life change...people, work, friendship, family.
Life on this earth has a transitory nature.
People come and go in our lives.
We may move from one place to another or switch jobs.
We learn to protect ourselves from such changes;
so we tend to erect walls that keep others from hurting us.
We try to build stability and safety into our lives,
in the midst of this violent and rapid-changing world.

But one thing never changes, and that is God.
God is always there, faithful, true, available, committed to us.

"For there stood by me this night, an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying,
'Do not be afraid, You must be brought before Caesar.'" (Acts 27:23)
Paul declared the God whom he belonged, whom he served.
Our God is the never-changing God, who cannot betray our trust in Him.

We can count on God.
He is the one sure thing in our constantly shifting lives,
the still point in a turning world.
He is the foundation of our existence...the Rock upon which we stand.

God loves u.
u r like precious gold to Him,
actually much more.
He thinks of u everyday.
So give Him a chance
in your life n accept Him.
Once u know Him well enough,
u will see Him in a whole new perspective.
God has never given up on anybody, not even criminals;
so what right do we have
to give up on ourselves?

It is not easy to put the past behind

but look what the future holds for u.
With the help of God, we can do almost anything,
including overcoming our fears and pains;
that is, if u allow Him to take over your situations,
to feel powerless before Him,
n that's when supernatural things take place,
that's when u feel true love,
secured with an eternal belonging.

It's only in God that u can find that...

so free, so close to Him...
it's a feeling that any person is longing for.

So reach out for Him

and He shall grasp n hold u close
n never let u go.

He wants u to know that

He's by your side day n night
watching after u.

Do not let others pull u down;

do not let men talk u out of things.
Follow God's words n listen deep inside u,
the still, small voice that's speaking to u.
Open your ear n heart to Him
n see your life changed for the good.

With the help of God,
we can overcome...
even our fears n pains.
even see the supernaturals.
His grace n mercy are new everyday.
with God,
all things are possible.

"I just want people to come back to Me,
and be with Me, to dwell in My presence,
and have fellowship and relationship with Me.

Therefore walk your life together with Me.


People tend to leave Me out of their lives,

because they don't realise how much I actually notice them,
and care and love them.

I AM not some dictator being stuck to My throne,

sitting in heaven and doing nothing.

On the contrary, I AM always alert,

and ever ready to talk to you
if only you give Me the chance.

My child, be simple, have a little faith,

and only believe,
and you'll find it easier to draw closer to Me."



God is love. He wants u to know that.
God is just n yet merciful.
Nothing ever clouds His judgment
for He sees everything.
He knows every event taking place in the world.
Every cry, laugh, complaint, prayer, thought...
He knows
He hears
He sees.
Many of our questions about life r not answered.
Many things we find hard to understand.
We see so many suffered; yet there r many who don't.
Is it fair? Is there justice?
Life never seems fair.

But God's ways r much higher n better than our ways.
We r finite; God is infinite.
We cannot see n know as God does.
God sees n knows everything;
He knows u even before u ever existed.
He is the Alpha n Omega.
therefore we can never understand as God understands
for we cannot see the future
we cannot see all His plans n purposes.
Therefore seek His will n let Him handles things.


Seek peace with your fellow brethren.
Let love rule over hatred.
Don't let Satan win the battle.
Let Jesus Christ achieve the victory.
God indeed deserves all glory n praise.
What He had done for us is beyond our comprehension.
To the world Jesus looks a fool.
To the world Jesus is a false prophet.
But to those who know the truth
to those who have seen His love n glory
they know Jesus is love, n He is the light
Jesus alone is able to save the world.
He is the beginning n the end.
Nothing can come against God's will n His purpose .
One word from Him n the world can be turned into ashes.
But God is patient, n is still giving us His mercy n grace,
giving us time to repent n to change from our wicked ways.
Therefore talk to Him n learn of His ways
for Jesus is meek n gentle in spirit.
We r blessed to have known Jesus
n to be able to show our love for Him freely.
Treasure what u have now
for there r many who don't have this opportunity.
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I wanna know what love is I want You to show me
I’m gonna take a little time A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like Love has finally found me

Mariah Carey in "I want to know what love is"(adapted)

love is the foundation
of any happiness.
without love,
without someone to love
our happiness is not complete.
we r created in His image,
created to love.


no matter how hushand n wife fights,
a hug still has a lot of feelings
A boy falls in love with a girl,
it’s the happiest moment.
A married couple wants a baby to love
to make their happiness complete.


In order to find happiness
we must have love in the heart,
have someone to love.
love is everything a person needs.
love can penetrate the coldest of hearts.


God is love.
His love is unconditional.
Turn to Him n to His embrace.

let Him comforts u.
He’s always there,
and He’s in you.

just acknowledge His presence
and see your life changed.

"Be not afraid.Only believe."(Luke8:50)

1John 4:18"There's no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.
But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

As long as we fear, we cannot be made complete in God.
People who serve God out of fear will produce their own good works n fall short.
Dominated by guilt n having to justify themselves,they never knew what true friendship is.

But praise the Lord, God has better things for us...
He wants us to know His love, a love that will drive out every fear.

Fear causes us to want to protect ourselves.
Our minds begin to reason, to imagine.Imagined fears come to our minds...
Tomorrow will there be food on the table?Will things work out tomorrow?
Fear tells us.."You better do something now or it's too late."
"Why did God allow this to happen?"
"I don't understand why this is happening."

Fear comes from immature understanding.
We want to walk in faith; we also want to reason, evaluate n keep control.
When u begin to fear n worry unnecessarily,
begin to doubt His faithfulness or begin to get angry,
then make the decision to trust n to walk in love.

What have we to lose anyway? even if nothing happens.
no lightning or thunder or earthquake.
Our situation will not be worse than before.
Never blame God when things do not work out the way we expect.
Maybe it takes a longer time. But what have we to lose?

On the other hand, fear can only make us take stupid, regrettable actions.
But if our trust is in God,how can He disappoint us?
Was the woman with a haemorrhage disappointed when she touched Jesus's clothes?
"Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
Immediately after this,Jesus turned n said to Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue,
"Do not be afraid; only believe, n she'll be made well.'

You don't have to fear an uncertain future, or there's no food on the table,
or the fear of rejection by friends,
or the ability to obey all of God's laws,
or to face His judgment.
Because knowing His heart frees us from fear to trust Him in al things,
like a child coming to the father...the child has no fear.
The Father will handle everything.
This alone...to trust in His love is the 1st step into His holiness.

Past childhood or deep-seated wounded emotions, whether from parent or someone,
can build walls to trust anyone anymore,
making it hard to accept God's love.
Only the deep ministry works of the Holy Spiritcan break down those walls
n bring healing to the wounded soul;
only His love can restore n bring freedom to bondages of fear n hatred
healing all past memories, all wounded emotions
n restoring the mind,will,emotion n intellect.

Allow His faithful love to control n overwhelm us.
Walk in faith birthed by love.



by faith, Moses chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy
the passing pleasures of sin (Hebrews 11:25)


Our Father in heaven so clothes the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is gone.
yet even Solomon was not clothed in such beauty as these.He knows your daily needs.
seek 1st His kingdom n His righteousness.
do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


a rainbow in the midst of storms

stay strong in His Word n promises.
Cling unto His every Word.
His words are life.
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word of God
And many people stumble, never to climb up again
because they r leaning on their own strength n ability to sustain them.
Know that the Lord wants u to lean on Him as your pillar of strength,
to hold His hand n look up to Him
n not to sway to the right or to the left,
not letting Satan to pull u back,
but allow God to push u up,
allowing Him to take u to a higher level,
to soar with Him.


nobody knows when the world will come to its end.
Then, there would be no right and wrong,
because justice then will no longer exist.
Therefore the moment now,
n make full use of your time here.
do not let the evil one or anybody pull u down,
or influence your principle in what's right.
Stand firm on your beliefs.
Discern right from wrong, based on the Lord's wisdom.
do not go astray, but go back to your Creator.
Love Him as He first loved u.
do right n don't go against your conscience.
Hear the still,small voice in u
Know it's there n it's right.
but sometimes u doubt yourself.
have peace within your heart.
hold on to the things u believed r true
put your trust in Him.
be faithful.
for He's always faithful
n He'll never leave u.
The bible is like a map to God's Kingdom.
Treasures n promises r all hidden in His words.
All is there n given to us.
We just have to
obey His words,
see beyond the words
meditate on them
n trust God with the supernatural.
Just allow Him to work wonders
n make your life meaningful.
Live up to God's expectations, not men's.
Please Him n achieve n succeed for Him.
Give glory n praises to Him.
Live your life as a living testimony for God.
Be salt to the world.
Be light to those in darkness.
Be a history maker.
Make your life count for Christ.
Live a life that's worth living.
Don't go through each day
without a sense of purpose.
Thank God for all that He had done for us.
It's because of His love that u n me get to live.
His death brought life.
Let's live for Him.
God loves you.
You might not feel or see Him physically
but He is with u by your side
n angels r dancing all around u.
His presence fills the air!
Grace n mercy r found in Him;
compassion n love flow out of Him
like a river of living water.
Hold onto His hand n don't let go!
When doubts cloud your mind, think of Him.
Let Him help u out
Let Him pull u up
from the darkest hole.
In times of troubles, everything looks dark;
there seems no hope n u r filled with despair.
But don't let depression or sadness take hold of u.
Instead make the effort to rise up n rejoice in the Lord.
Have faith n be strong in the Lord.
Lean on Him for strength
for no man's strength can be compared to the Lord's strength.
Trust Him n seek first His Kingdom n His righteousness
n your life would always be joyful n peaceful.
His peace in u.
God loves you; you have to know that.
God's love must be in us in order for us to be able to love each other.
This is the only one law that Jesus wants us to obey
because it covers everything.
The Lord wants u to be a better person everyday.
n to live day by day
depending totally upon His power n strength
n do not run this race alone.
because the path is not always straight n smooth.
because everyone needs a helping hand going through the life on earth
no matter how capable or independent a person might be.
we r all sinners in need of a Saviour.
That's why God gives us the Holy Spirit
Therefore pay attention to His voice, speaking to u.
Be still
Have the peace of God in u.
Things shall turn out for good with God.
Just rely n depend upon Him.
He's your everything.
God loves a cheerful giver.
He is always there for u.
He wants u to hear His voice yourself.
God is your Shepherd.
Follow Him for He wants the best for u.
No one can tell u your future.
Only the Lord knows what's best for u.
therefore confide in the Lord
n tell Him your secrets n problems.
Ask guidance n wisdom from Him.
Seek Him for He'll light your path n show u the way.
Many perish because they rely on their strength n wisdom.
God wants us to know that
He's the Alpha n Omega, the beginning n the end.
Satan has no power over us.
For the Lord protects the righteous.
We might get hurt physically
but no one can touch our souls.
Leave your life in God's hand.
Let Him take charge
Let Him guide you.
God loves u
n desires your love for Him too.

the battle belongs to the Lord

many a times,we tend to think that others are not fair or not so good hearted people.
although we call ourselves Christians,we are also not very good people.
we can't see our own selves that we r just as bad or even worse.

how we do things depends how we think.
when we r influenced by what we see n hear in others..
family members, Church people, friends...
we tend to follow the patterns set.

Jesus keep closely with the Father, n not be influenced by people around Him,not even Peter.

if the Palestinians keep hearing from people around them since childhood,
they will believe n follow the ways of people around them;
they'll react in ways they think r true...which r actually the ways of others.

when the Iranians begin to hear voices, questioning the integrity of the election n leadership,
they r affected n they begin not to trust the government.
what they see n hear affect their thinking n they react according to what they think.

the Kingdom of God is won through the hearts n minds of people.
tit for tat method will keep going on till the next generations.
the Hamas send rockets, Israel send bombs, but the hearts r till the same.

the battle belongs to the Lord.
our human ways will never work.
when Israel thought they could protect themselves,
God sent the Assyrians n Babylonians to attack n burned the temple.
The Babylonian king was God's vessel.

Unless all the non-believing Jews in Israel come to the Lord,
God will continue to use the Palestinians n neighboring countries to attack Israel.
the battle belongs to the Lord.
have faith, n God will turn
every evil into good
let not your thoughts or doubts
influence what the Lord has to say
His Word is sure
Open your heart to let God
reveal n uncover the mysteries of His Word
Knowing His Word is knowing God Himself
Have an intimacy with HIm
n see blessings in your life
you are bound to face crossroads n tough decisions
let Him light your path
your future is in His hands

God hears the cries of the broken-hearted

We must not try to be God ourselves, but let God be God.
We must not try to work things out ourselves, but let God works through us.
Allow God to work things out.

So we say to ourselves:
"I can do nothing on my own.
God'll do all things through me, both to will and to do.
The things which're impossible with men are possible with God."

Therefore wait upon God; trust God in all things.
Lean not on thy own understanding.
All around you, you see sin and sorrow,
but remember, Christ is on the throne.
Like Abraham, be strong in faith, because you know
that God who had promised is able to perform.

Sometimes a situation seems so hopeless, and a cry so futile, so helpless;
yet this is what God looks for to demonstrate His loving care and power
and His powerful hand of protection.
God hears the cry of the heart...a cry that can bring freedom or healing,
a cry that brings help in a moment of grave danger,
a cry that brings a clear direction in a season of deep perplexity.
There is a need to cry out.
A father hears the cries of his children.

Through an honest cry of the heart,
the father whose son was demon-possessed,
received a demonstration of God's power.
"the father of the child cried out and said with tears,
"Lord, I believe; help my unbelief." (Mark 9:24)

In our moment of fear, anxiety or trouble,
to experience God's deliverance and protection
is simply to believe and cry out,
like the woman with the issue of blood.
What a little faith can do.

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed...and nothing shall be impossible unto you"
(Mathew 17:20)

When the Samaritan woman heard Jesus talking about the living water,
she must be thinking, "Is this man ok?"
And Jesus had taken the trouble to go through Samaria just to talk to her.
Then Jesus gave her a word, saying,
"Go, call thy husband, and come hither."
And immediately faith came in and made all the difference.
"The woman then left her water-pot, and went her way into the city,
and said to the men,
'Come, see a man, who told me all things that I ever did:
is not this the Christ?....
And many of the Samaritans of the city believed on Him for the saying of the woman." (John 4:16,28,29,39)
"it is impossible to please God without faith."
"And faith comes by hearing the Word."

The woman with the haemorrhage believed the word about Jesus.
Her faith and desperation and the cry of her heart
drove her through the crowd of men, just to touch Jesus.
What made her so sure that she will be healed?
Faith. What a little faith can do.

As Smith Wigglesworth said, "Only believe."
"Woman, your faith has healed you; go in peace."
There was restoration of health, and also peace within.
God wants so much to restore us physically, emotionally and spiritually.
"thy soul prosper, even thy health."

But because the soil is too shallow,
or the birds came to steal them,
the seed does not grow, but was choked
and prevented to grow in faith.

We need to pray in the Holy Spirit, to come into His presence.
"building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
keeping yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the Lord's mercy unto eternal life."

As we walk with Him, we'll realise how close He is with us.
He'll protect us from the schemes of the evil one.
We need to cling unto Him.
But the Lord also wants us to be strong,
for one day we shall reign with Him if we faint not.

So the Lord is also saying....
"Fear not. Be meek but not weak.
I have given you power over the devils.
Therefore speak with authority."
Have you ever broken an alabaster bottle of perfume?
The aroma fills the whole room.
To delight the heart of God, we must allow ourselves to be broken.
We need to examine our hearts.
We must allow our hearts to undergo a radical surgical dissection
so that we can be made whole.
God wants to get at the roots of the deep-seated problems that cause us to sin.

Psalm 51: God desires truth in our innermost parts.
Instead of trying to cover up with good explanations,
we can allow God to free us from the roots n hurts n wrong motives
n heal us from the inside out.

Psalm 139:23
Search me, O God n know my heart
try me and know my anxious thoughts
n see if there be any wicked way in me.

 until u r true to yourself

it's difficult for God to help u.




The Lord loves u.

Indeed He is by your side this very second.

Just feel His presence

feel that warmth

feel that love flowing from Him.



Take in His goodness n His glory.

Read His Word for it will give u strength.


Always lean on His grace n mercy

for we r nothing without Him.

Seek His mercy n grace.
Trust God with your life

for He is never wrong

He never will ever forsake u.

Just know that He is your heavenly Father

who will hear all your problems

n embrace n comfort u.


It is the only time

when u can be yourself

when u can be honest

n truthful with yourself

for there is nothing to hide from God.


Until u r true to yourself

until u realize your weaknesses

until acknowledge your need for God's strength,
God can do nothing.

God will do His best when u do your best.

It needs your commitment together with God's promise.

Then u will see results

that go beyond your expectation.

With God, dream big

for your Father in heaven is a big God;

He is indeed the King of all kings.

Believe in yourself.


Give all glory n praises to God.

Trust in Him for guidance in your life.

Let Him love u.

Renew your love

with the One who first loved u.

to love even though it's impossible n looks stupid to do so

Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.
This is the second greatest commandment Jesus gave.

Yes, the Lord hears your cries...cry for help, cry for grace, cry for justice.
He knows what you are going through
and He wants you to know that you are not in this alone.

The Lord is always good to us,
though many times circumstances show otherwise.
But take a look at Job, take a look at Paul,
take a look at all those who had stayed faithful to God.
They were persecuted when they were doing the right thing.
They were tortured because of their faith.
Jesus was crucified because of His love for us.

All the great men and women in the bible have something in common.
Their love for God's people outweighs any suffering they had to go through.
What gave them this determination is their love for others.
It's difficult to love those who had done wrong to us,
It's difficult to look past that ugly face to see the lost soul inside our enemies.
But that is what Jesus is calling us to do,
to love even though it's impossible and stupid to do so.
As Christians, we are fools in the eyes of men
but what matters most is that God is pleased and happy with us.

Jesus came to this Earth as a man, so that He could die for you and me.
He was God, who became a servant.
He was God, who died a convict's death.
But God is saying to us today that "it is finished."
We don't have to suffer anymore to save ourselves.
It is already done!
All that is left to do is believe.
Everything in this world belongs to God
and we as His children have everything too!

"For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death,
or things present or things to come - all are yours. And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's."
(1Corinthians 3: 21-23 )

Victory is ours since the moment you believed that Jesus is the Son of God.
We no longer have to fight this battle as the battle is already won!
No, despite all these things,
overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. (Romans 8 : 37 )

It is difficult to believe in things that seem so unreal and impossible.
But that is what faith is about, believing without the presence of doubt.
So, take this step of faith.
Tell God that you are hopeless and helpless without Him.
Tell God how afraid you are,
how angry and frustrated you are with life,
how worried you are about the future,
practically just how tired you are with life right now.

Just close your eyes and start pouring out to God
until you feel the weight on your shoulder is lighter.
Let the tears, all the hurts and pains pour out from your heart.
It is between you and God, no one else.
There's no pretense, no hiding, no holding back.
Be transparent in front of Jesus, laying all your junks and burden at His feet,
for it is not for us to carry all these burden in life.
It had never meant to be ours to bear.

Imagine an empty cross, where Jesus was once hung.
Just think about His sacrifice and love for you.
All Jesus ever cared about was you;
nothing else mattered to Him but you.
He loves you so much that His heart aches whenever He sees yours aching.

Jesus loves us dearly.
We are the world to Him.
Don't you think He would have a great future for us?
Don't you think He would provide us with our every need?
Don't you think He loves us too much to let us suffer?

All our bond ages had been broken when Jesus took our place at the cross.
It is we today who bound ourselves to chains
when the key to these chains is all this while in our hands.

Therefore let's make Jesus' death worth while.
Go back to the basics; go back to your first love.
Go back to the roots to why you call yourself a Christian today.
Going back to basics is always the best move to make when you are lost.
Go back to your Abba Father.

poems

the bitter autumn rain

[Walking out alone in the heavy autumn rain,
letting my tears wash away my pain,
my horrifying pain that I want it to go away.
the rain n wind gets harder blowing me to the side
knowing I am cracking and breaking inside.
empty and alone, trying to hide.
the rain is beating hard,
as i feel the beat of my broken heart
that is slowly falling apart.
can i find solace in the rain
taking away my pain.

i see the reflection of me,
in the broken pool of waters
the tears i cry i can hardly see.
my eyes are red,
my hair blowing in the wind,
the scars on my face, slowly are
disappearing without a trace.

walking around, there is nothing
not even the smallest thing to make
as I look down, staring at my feet.
the feelings of self doubt,
feelings of lost within a crowd.
feeling empty and alone.
trapped in this world.

the wind blows through my hair,
as the rain rushes down,
making me feel free for a moment
putting me at ease, at peace for now.

as i start to breathe again....

taken from "rain", "breathe" by Sarah


What has the autumn done to us?
That endless wind, that heavy rain...

My eyes with tears and bitter pain.
It's over now, the autumn's game
though it hurts a lot
We could be happy, but we're not
Why is life so cruel and sad?
It's stolen happiness we've had

when heartache appears in our lives
we are forced to face bittersweet truths
we are reminded that within each challenge
there is always a higher offering
although hidden from our view
we must raise our thinking, open our hearts
and recognize that we are being called to a new stage in life,
a higher calling, a new dimension in life
unfamiliarity can be frightening
and new paths look uncertain.
but what is life, if not a journey into the wondrous unknown?
look around...grace and beauty can still be found within pain.
the only lock,keeping us trapped or blind or stuck is fear.
the only cage is the condition of our minds.

Can we change the past?
No. It’s as hard as granite, as immovable as a mountain.

Cold Mountain Movie says,
“You can grieve endlessly for the loss of time and damage done.
