Broken People

God works through each of us in His love. He works through our lives. He works through our pain. He works through our broken dreams. He works through every contrite heart.  He works through every broken spirit.

He releases His fragrance through crushing moments.  Times of trials. Times of immense suffering. Times of indescribable pain. God works through everything we place in His loving hands.

The Lord refines us in His fire.  He challenges us to trust Him in our darkest season. He breathes life and hope into our lifeless bodies. He reminds us to focus on Him. He is our eternal hope. 

God shows us His glory. He is sovereign and powerful. He is majestic. He is full of spendour.

He wants to be glorified through our lives. He wants humility and brokenness. He wants to release His anointing on broken vessels and broken lives. He shows His glory through the most unlikely candidate. He lifts the lowly in heart. He pours His blessing on the simple. His heart yearns for all who call on His mercy and grace.

Divine Providence

Monte and I are blessed to journey with the Lord in this amazing journey.  He teaches us to lean on His strong arms.  He pours His grace on us lavishly.  As we look back at all that God has brought us through, all we could do is to bow in humble reverence to His unfailing love.  He is mighty, awesome and indescribable.

We experience His divine providence daily.  Down the corridoor of time, He reveals His constant and undying love for us.

Back in early 1999 when we were preparing for our wedding.  I remember vividly how we called out to the Lord, listing the many needs we have.  The Lord provided miraculously for us.

In 2001, we were praying for God to provide us the funds to renovate and furnish our new flat in Sengkang.  God provided for every need.  He shows us His divine providence again and again.

We serve a great and mighty God.  As we continue to love and serve Him.  He pours more of Himself on us.  His ever increasing love and presence wash over us, renewing and refreshing us.  We bow in humble adoration.  We proclaim His majesty and power.  All honour and glory be unto our God.  He deserves our highest praise.

This day

Our Loving God

Monte and I are thankful for God's faithfulness to us all these years.  All we desire is to see His hand of love on us.  All we desire is to see His footprints and hand-prints all over us.  He has sustained us with His amazing grace.  He hides us in the cleft of the rock.  We stand secure in His abiding love. God has never forsaken us.  In our deepest trials and tribulations, He reminds us that He is the fourth man in the fire.  He reminds us that there is nothing He cannot do.  If it had not been for His presence, we would not reach where we are today. 

Each day is a day of hope and possibilities.  We see Him at work; we know that He is at work even on days when our world is seemingly spiraling out of control.  We have tasted the faithfulness and goodness of our loving God.
