Simplicity pls...

Qn: Why can't humans be more simple? isn't it tiring to guess each one's intentions? why always think tat everyone is so selfish tat they won't compromise their plans if they could?

Real-life scenario: received a call from my supervisor asking me if i could work today - Valentine's. said i already have plans today but if i could b off on 17th, it'll b great. cos i wanted to have reunion dinner with my family but could not. then she asked "if i give u rest day on tat day, u'll work today?" said i would give further considerations if so.

Reflection: tiring when u have to guard against other's intentions while protecting ur own interests. this short communication shows selfishness in both parties. Humans r selfish in nature. God made the world like tat so that His goodness would be contrasted in human's weaknesses n imperfection. it's in human imperfection that we see e full manifestation of God's love and grace. Humans can only rationalise and fail to see God's big picture cos we r so limited in intelligence.

God's grace manifested in me

had a quarrel with sis cos of some stupid disagreement. cos i printed lots of pages n she had 2 change e ink cartridge for e printer n i refused 2 apologise when she demanded one. laughable when i look back. it's funny how we jeopartise our relationships cos of such small petty things. When humans sin in small n big things, refusing to admit and ask for forgiveness from God and others cos of pride, we jeopartise our relationships. If we could take steps to salvage e situation, relationship with God n others would b revived and prob even better than b4. like now it is for me, in God's grace :)

Tears kept coming 2 my eyes during worship on Sun @ church. Experienced God's grace n was reminded when i was singing this song. esp. since i realised i had sinned in such a terrible way the day earlier.

As we gather

As we gather may your spirit work within us,
As we gather may we glorify your name.
Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship,
We'll be glad because we came
we'll be glad because we came.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end.
They are new ever morning, new every morning,
Great is thy faithfulness, O Lord.
Great is thy faithfulness.

Really, God's faithful. No matter what happens, he loves YOU and everyone else. Never lesser, never more. cos His love and grace is infinity and boundless, immeasureable. tat e closest description tat man can understand is tat His love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sea. there's nothing he can't handle, u can trust Him with your deepest, darkest secrets and he'll deal with n throw it all away. choosing to forget all about it and loves you the same, unconditionally. where else can u find such love? Even if u dun know Him, He knew u from the start n planned everything for u, even before u were born. and He loved u, the same extent and depth as he loved everyone (murderers even). too gd to be true indeed, but it's real i can tell u.


Struggling to do what i know is right and pleasing in God's sight. Do pray for me. i want to be victorious for God but lack the strength and courage to be honest about it.

Happy valentines to all! May you come to know God who is the greatest lover.

Hey CK n WX, am so glad tat u r walking in God's light n tat's He's guiding n guarding your relationship. :) it's hard to keep away from sin but take a stand for God n be firm about it. Abraham was tested to give Isacc (His precious son) to God and chose to trust God in it, resulting in blessings from God and called God's friend (James 2: 21-23, Genesis 22:1-19). Suffer for God, reap blessings in e end. Be contented in God himself, everything else is secondary (including each other). do come to me if there's anything u need, i'll c wat i can do. be it in e form of encouragements or resources (books abt relationship in God) cos i'm learning more abt it too n probably can share from experience. will keep u guys in my prayers. :)
