Layers, like dried skin
build up as we grow
from when we’re young,
the struggle to survive
doesn’t stop, even till when we are old.
What dreams do we pursue?
what more do we want?
to satisfy, to achieve,
to give ourselves the worth that we seek.
These layers dry up
with every failure and success
they make us self-centred
they make us hard.
like a shield,
they try [...]

Spiritual Confusion
Posted in Quiet Time on October 14, 2007 | 8 Comments »
(some of you who did this QT would find this familiar)
There are times in my spiritual life when there is confusion.
But i’ve learnt that the way out of it is to say that i should not be confused..
it is not a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of God taking me through a [...]
In the secret, quiet place…

i’ve learnt to sit quietly, and not feel alone
cos i know my God is with me,
and He speaks, in a still small tone.
i’ve learnt what it means to truly love,
to wait and not to want,
not to take but to serve.
i’ve learnt that love doesn’t just come
from my own words and acts,
cos my love is insufficient, [...]

why?
such a question sparks off many thoughts running in my head..
i can’t take.. all these things flowing thru me.. causing me to cry over and over again.. causing me to tense up.. just losing my direction.. wondering if i’ve heard the right voice.
God, i’m not whole.. i realised how much i need you.. yet i [...]

This song truly describes how i’m feeling now.
I can just listen to it all night and tears will just fall.
Deeper in Love
by Don Moen
There is a longing only You can fill
A raging temptest only You can still
My soul is thirsty Lord
To know You as I’m known
Drink from the river
That flows before your throne
Take me deeper

When Jesus’ Heart Broke
Posted in Church, Quiet Time, Thoughts on April 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I look at your dead body on the cross. The soldiers, who have broken the legs of the two men crucified with you, do not break your legs, but one of them pierces your side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flow out. Your heart is broken, the heart that did not know [...]

Isaiah 43: 18-21
18 Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.
20 The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I [...]

95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
but I will ponder your statutes.
96 To all perfection I see a limit;
but your commands are boundless.
97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are ever with me.

How great is our God

Psalm 92:5-6
“How great are your works, O LORD,
how profound your thoughts!
The senseless man does not know,
fools do not understand,”
its amazing how great God’s works are.. sometimes i’m just so pre-occupied with other things that i forget to appreciate his great works.
Nature is just one of the many splendors that God has created. Why [...]
