“Do you worry that if people knew the ‘real’ you, they wouldn’t like you? Or that if you let down your guard you’d be left twisting in the wind? …Our problem is we don’t want to be seen as the only one with problems and needs. But fear of being different can lock you in a prison of pretence… Real ministry starts the moment we stop trying to impress...
You Love me Anyways

I am the thorn in Your crown But You love me anyway I am the sweat from Your brow But You love me anyway I am the nail in Your wrist But You love me anyway I am Judas’ kiss But You love me anyway

Wow those words just hit me, How can a God Like Him, So holy and pure, Love someone Like ME? and he sees the depths of my heart and He loves us the Same. WOW

“When you decide to walk with Jesus, the One Who called us ‘friends’, the journey is rough at times, but His friendship will never fail you.”
“We’ve been conditioned to think of friendship in terms of the benefits it confers, but being God’s friend comes at a price. As Rebecca Barlow Jordan points out, it ‘costs… time, selflessness,...

“‘Why does it take God so long to do things?’ you ask. Because unanswered questions create trust. When you don’t know, you have to trust the One who does, and that keeps you growing in faith. God has a definite plan and time, and while He’s getting you ready He keeps you in His waiting room. If that’s where you are today, remember, it’s only as you reach...

Diary of a youth discovering self
It was about that time in my life. That time, I had the “son to mom” conversation. I guess I have avoided it for so long. In fact I never really speak to any of them; my parents, my sister.
As we were walking to the tube station, I gave it a start, “Mum, did you guys (yourself and dad) bring Bimbo and I in different ways”, she giggles and ask “how?”
“Because I tend to be more to myself, than she...

I am a writer. Or so I think? I have not written anything what reading since the last note to her “When you love someone, everyday a part of you disappears into them…”

“Put aside your preconceived notions, your self-consciousness and concern over what others think, and pour out your heart in worship. Join the Psalmist: ‘…my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands’ (Psalm 63:3-4 NIV).”

Dear Cony1010,
You grace my life with happiness and spark up my life with your smile. A smile brilliant than a thousand suns. No man can fail to notice how your tender eyes dim whenever you smile. And your laughter seems to make the drudgery of life bearable. Blessed I’m to have you in my life. I don’t want to change a thing… I have loved you from the “eyeglasses image”, through our...

Its funny how God works. Those that are born with less talent, He gave them will. The will to strive, the will to want to achieve… and those born with much talent, happen to have less will. Its only very few lucky ones that have both strong will and great talents. .. inspired by the movie Believe in Me (2006)

“All of us need reassurance and appreciation. So why do we sometimes pocket the praise we should pass on to others, or sidestep the practical help we could offer to open the way for them to succeed? Sometimes it’s simply because we’re lazy, or selfish, or we fall into the habit of taking people for granted. Sometimes it’s just easier to find fault.”

I think my last post from August 2009 “Many a time life has taught me in searching you might find nothing and in choosing not to search , you can actually find a lot.” is very similar to the words of Thoreau on Happiness.
