Grateful

I thank God for Monte.  He is always looking out for me.  Recently, he bought me a handphone stand.  This is helpful.

Miracle Working God

We moved into our flat in Seng Kang in August 2001.  I vividly remember how our friend, KC, contacted me to say that her sister had bought a new refrigerator and asked if we would like to take over her existing one. We were more than happy to do so. The refrigerator served us up till early 2015. God is so good to us.

In early 2015, our refrigerator finally broke down.  God miraculously provided some funds for us to purchase a new one.  Our hearts are overwhelmed by the goodness and providence of our loving God.  

We are grateful for God’s timely provision.  He watches over us.  He meets our needs daily.  He sends His ravens and send us food.  He nourishes our bodies. 

He is more than enough.  Our sufficiency is in Christ and Christ alone.  All glory goes to our almighty, supreme, sovereign God.

God has put faith in our hearts.  Faith originated in God.  As we step our in faith to trust our almighty God, He stretches us.  He moves supernaturally in our lives.  He rebuilds our broken ruins.

Great Are You

Great are You, Lord
Your empowering presence 
Your increasing glory
Your mighty power
Your formidable strength

Great are You, Lord
And worthy of praise 
Marvelous Saviour 
We come in humble adoration 
Exalting Your matchless name

Great are You, Lord
All creation worship You
Every knee will bow
And every tongue confess 
You are Lord

And The Spirit In My Heart Cries Abba


This simple song I sang sums up our heart cry.  And The Spirit In My Heart Cries Abba.

Lord, we cry out to You.  We sing a song of love.  Nothing on this earth satisfies us.  You alone are our sole desire.  Do a deep and a lasting work in our lives.

The Poor In Spirit

You are inclined to the poor in Spirit. You fill our hungry hearts. You quench our thirst. You come to our rescue. You save us.

We offer ourselves to You on Your holy altar. Come and consume our lives. Come and rebuild our broken ruins.

We come in humility. We come on bended knees. We find hope and strength in You.  Let there be a constant and earnest desperation for move of Your Spirit.

Love Divine

Love divine
Love crucified 
Love abundant
Love personified 
Love overflowing 

You loved us into submission 
You loved us into surrender 
You loved us into wholeness 
You Love us into liberty

How deep is Your love
How wide is Your love
How strong is Your love

Grateful

Our hearts are burning this Christmas morning.  We are awakened to Your merciful love.  We were once rootless, aimless, powerless and lost.  You poured in the oil and the wine.  You bring hope and mercy.

With gratitude, we bow.  We are humbled in Your presence.  We give You all the praises in our hearts.

Touch Us For Your Glory

Lord, as we wait on You, move upon us.  Show us Your path.  Grant us understanding. Give us a breakthrough.  Level the rocky paths.  Direct us by the power of Your Spirit.  

This is the day of Your power.  Let Your glorious light illuminate our hearts.  Show us signs and wonders.  We want to follow hard after You.  We will only go where Your presence is leading us.  Touch our lives for Your glory, Lord!

We Long For You

On this misty morning, our hearts year for You.  We long for You.  Just like the watchman who waits for the break of dawn, we wait on You.

Soften Our Hearts

Lord, soften our hearts. The harshness of this world makes Your tenderness even more intense.  

People are drawn to Your beauty. They are drawn to Your kindness and grace. They are drawn to Your tenderness.

The harsh realities of life hardens our hearts. We call on You to touch our hearts. Make them pliable in Your loving hands.

The Potter works on our hearts daily. The power of the living God comes on the humble and contrite in heart.  

As we obey the Lord, He moves supernaturally in us.  We bring glory to His name.  The majestic Lord moves mightily.  He displays His strength and power through our obedience.

Gratitude

I call to mind the faithfulness of God.  Monte and I were married in March 1999.  My limited vocabulary is not able to describe the goodness of God. 

We thank every person who has journeyed with us all these years.  People who not cover cover us in prayer, they encourage and bless us in many ways.  Our hearts well up with thanksgiving every time God brings you to our remembrance of you.

God has shown us His divine love.  How strong is His love.  How wide is His love.  How deep is His love.  Nothing in this world can separate us from His love.

We Worship You

Lord, You are our beacon of hope.  You are why we rise each day.  Seeing each sunrise brings us immense hope.  You are the hope of glory, the rock of ages, the anchor of our hope.

We are eternally thankful for patient work in us.  Blossoming and flourishing us as we anchor our lives in You.  Teach us to persevere in Your love.  Teach us Your ways and we will follow hard after You.

Your Anointing

The anointing of God is not reserved for the selected few.  He wants us to move in His anointing.  

As we step out in faith to believe, His anointing comes on us.  As we live a life of obedience, His anointing comes on us.  As we avail ourselves to His work, His anointing comes on us. 

Move powerfully through each of us.  Let our hearts be sensitive to the promptings of Your Spirit.  Let our hearts be soft and tender.  Open our ears to hear Your voice.  Open our hearts to respond in faith.

Lord, we are hungry for a move of God.  We see Your glory.  We taste Your goodness.  We receive You with wide open hearts.  Move mightily through us this day!

Life Is Beautiful

Life is beautiful. God has blessed us with life. To live it with full liberty. To live it with great joy. To live life fully in the power of His Spirit.

We breathe the air that God gives. We rest in His love. We encounter Him moment by moment.  

Life is beautiful. We bask in His presence. We dwell in His love. We live in the light of His glory. 

Life is beautiful. We sing the songs of the redeemed. We celebrate life daily. He gives us meaning and purpose to live.

Holy Fear

You loved us into submission.  This holy fear that You have put in our hearts liberates us.  You free us to worship You.

We walk in walk.  The fear of man ensnare us.  The fear of God builds a godliness.  We choose to obey.  We choose to worship You in every season of our lives.

Teach us to number our days.  As we avail ourselves to You, we grow in loving, knowing and serving You.

Let The Weak Say I Am Strong

God breaks us daily.  He transforms us daily. He moulds us daily. His hand of love is upon us. 

Show me a man or woman who walked closely with God and I will guarantee that this is a broken person. God in His mercy has chosen us for Himself. He brings out the beauty in us. We reach our fullest potential in Him.

The world does not value weakness but God never despise the weak. When we are weak, the strength of God triumphs. Let the weak say I am strong.

In our vulnerability, God champions our cause. He is for the underdogs, the marginalised and the disenfranchised. He lifts the weak. He raises the humble. He heals the broken.

Lord, mould us, shape us and melt us. Perform a mighty miracle in our lives. Move powerfully through us as we allow You to work in us.

Blessed

We open our hearts to You, Lord! Bring clarity.  Bring wholeness and strength to us. Envelope our lives as we seek Your face.
 
We are blessed to know You.  We are blessed to taste Your goodness.

Your abounding grace and mercy sustain us daily.  You removed our anxiety and fear.  You give is hope and courage. 

You clothe us with the robes of righteousness.  You pour in the oil and the wine.  You bind our broken hearts. You rebuild our broken ruins.

Glory be to the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  Your love overwhelm us moment by moment.  Why can we ever live without You.

Living Streams

Lord, quench our thirst.  Let Your water quench our thirsty hearts.  Water our hearts.  We want to drink from Your living streams.  You alone can satisfy and quench our thirst. 

Draw us by Your Spirit.  Let the rain of Your love wash all over us.  Like the deer that pants for water, our hearts long for You.

Come and abide in us.  Lead us to Your living streams.  We follow hard after You.  We long for Your presence.  We abide in Your love.

Refiner's Fire

Lord, as You purify our hearts, we see You better.  We hear You better.  We know You in a deeper way.

Let Your refiner's fire burn deep and strong in us.  We come on bended knees.   We come in humble submission.  

Sanctify and purify us till we can see Your image in us.

Come Holy Spirit.  Let the power of Your love consume us.  Let the fire of Your love overpower us.  

We need You more than yesterday.  Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.

Living Hope

Looking out of my window this morning, I snapped a shot of the beautiful morning sun.  The sunshine of God illuminates our hearts.  Hope abounds when we abide in Him.  God in His love and mercy has poured His glory and grace in our hearts.

Lord, You are the ever living God.  Your living hope gives us the strength to persevere.  Your living hope gives us purpose to live.

Sunday, December 11, 2022

Broken Lives

Lord, touch our broken lives.  Refresh and rebuild us. Let the power of Your Spirit consume us. We lay our lives on Your altar.  

Mould us, shape us, melt us. Let the search light of Your Spirit shine on us.  Sanctify and purity our hearts. Let our meditations be pleasing to You. Align our lives to Your purposes.

We surrender all. You have loved us into submission. We are eternally grateful to You. Let our brokenness bring You glory.

There Is Nothing Our God Cannot Do

There is nothing our God cannot do.  He spoke the universe into existence.  He parted the sea and His people walked on dry ground.  

Faith arises when we dwell on might and power of God almighty.  He open our hearts to the miraculous.  He allows us to see through His eyes.  He speaks faith into our hearts.

There is nothing God cannot do.  People who should have long left this earth are still roaming the world because God keeps them alive.  God has healed and restored them.  The doctors cannot fathom why this would happen.  We know.  God is a miracle working God.  He is alive.  He is healing power is real.

There is nothing God cannot do.  We encounter set backs and tragedies.  The Lord extends His divine intervention.  He is mighty to save.  He is mighty to heal.  He is mighty to deliver.  

Make Our Lives Count

Make our lives count 
Move through our lives
Make our lives count 
Make us Your instrument

Your instrument of peace
Your instrument of love
Your instrument of joy

Make our lives count
Let our lives be a living sacrifice 
Consume us
Consecrate us
Burn Your deep desires in us
Make our lives count

Till the end

We trust You
With every breath 
We trust You
With all our heart

Trusting You
Leaning on You
Resting in You
We trust You
