You Made Colours

I was out brisk walking one morning.  I lifted my eyes and saw the beautiful blue sky.  Within a short time, the blue tinge changed as the morning light was breaking through.  It is mind blowing to know that there is almost 500 shades of blue.  How great is the Lord!

God makes colours.  Colours that show His beauty, grace and splendour.  God beautifies our life, He reveals His strength and power through His creation.  All creation worships the living God.  The great and awesome God who spoke the universe into existence.  The God who commands the winds and the waves.  The God who sets the sun, the moon and the stars in their places.  Lord, we bow at Your feet.  We worship You with every ounce of our strength.  We love You for You first loved us with an everlasting love.

Faith

Faith comes from God.  God grants us faith to believe in the miraculous.  When the eye do not see, God is actively at work in the challenges we find ourself in.  He is indescribable.  Everything in the natural seems to be chaotic but God is telling us to trust Him.  He opens our eyes to see.  He opens our hearts to understand.  He grants us faith to go deeper.  We are not satisfied with the ankle deep water.  We are not satisfied with the knee deep water.  We are not satisfied with the waist deep water.  We want to swim in the river of God.  We want to see signs and wonders.  We long to hear His whispers of love.  We long for the courts of the Lord.  We want to see Him in His glory and His grace.  Let Your sweet anointment fall upon us.  Fill us with the power of Your spirit.  Fill us through and through.  You are all we ever needed.

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.

We Call on You

You feed the hungry

You clothe the naked

You cleanse the filthy

You touch the lowly

You grace the meek
You lift the weak

You love us

Through and through

Speaking strength

Grace

And hope

To all who call on You

His Hand of Love

Monte and I have been living in Sengkang since 2001.  I vividly remember the young plants that lined the streets.  Due to strong wind and torrential rain here, they needed to be supported.  Oftentimes, they looked battered and weak.  They were fighting for their survival.

Days, months and years passed.  Today, seventeen years later, they have grown into young trees.  Vibrant, strong and luscious.  

Like the young plants, we were once weak and feeble, the Lord in His love and mercy strengthens us.  He builds us.  His nurturing love grows us into a strong, compassionate and loving people.  A people of compassion.  A people of grace.  A people of love.  He shapes and moulds us daily till He sees His reflection in us.  He guides us with loving patience, bringing out the best in us.  His hand of love is on us.

Pour Us Out

Pour us out 

As a drink offering

To reach the lost

To touch the broken

The despised

The needy

The marginalised

The powerless

Flow through

Our feeble hands

Our feeble legs

Empower us 

To love and serve

Pour us out

As a drink offering

We offer our lives

To You

The supreme God

And our loving Father

A Bruised Reed

A bruised reed

You will never break

You help the powerless

You fill our hearts

With good things

You fill our hearts

With good gifts

Come in Your power

Come in Your glory

Come in Your love 

We Lift Up Our Eyes

We lift up our eyes. Our help comes from the Lord. The maker of heaven and earth.

We lift up our eyes. Our hope is in You. Hope that does not disappoint. Hope that last forever.

We lift up our eyes. We see Your sustaining grace. Grace abounding. Grace that is always sufficient.

Blessed

This morning, Monte has left for the States to deliver a paper at the Society of Pentecostal Studies conference and visit our family.

Our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude for all the Lord has done.  He provided for us miraculously.  He is the miracle working God.  He has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination.  There is absolutely nothing He cannot do.  We lack nothing in Him.

Our hearts go out to everyone who has blessed us through your giving, prayer and encouragement.  Thank you so much for standing with us all these years.  We bring you before the Lord and ask the Lord to bless you abandantly.  Thank you for journeying with us as we love and serve God and His people.

Our God is ever faithful.  He is our covenant making and covenant keeping God.  He births His dream into our hearts and work wonders in our broken lives.  We declare His goodness and His greatness.  We proclaim His majesty, power and glory. 🌈

We Need You

We need You

At every sunrise

We need You 

At every sunset

At the beginning

We need You

At the end

Every moment

Every second

Every minute

Every hour

Healing Grace

This morning, I made a cup of tea. As the tea bag sat in the hot water, water was seeping through the cup. On a closer look, I did not see any crack on the cup. I threw the cup away.

Sometimes we may look alright on the outside but actually we are all broken up on the inside. The turmoil, anguish, sorrow and pain have numbed our senses. We are at the verge of a collapse. We can no longer function though we continue to go about with our daily activities.

The Lord beckons us to enter into His healing presence. His hand is never to short to touch us. He waits for us with open arms. He speaks hope and restoration to all who choose to lean on Him. He has never failed us. He will never leave us alone to suffer in silence. He is a miracle working God. He turns our broken lives around for His glory. He breathes health, healing and wholeness into our mind, soul and body.

Happy Birthday, Monte!

Today is Monte's birthday.  Happy birthday, Monte! 🎂🎂🎂 God has blessed me with a loving and wonderful husband.  I am blessed by his love, concern, care, support and encouragement.  We have shared the best years of our lives together.  God blows our minds and helps us to see that there is absolutely nothing He cannot do.  Our many challenges and mountains before us pale in comparison to the Lord's amazing power.  He speaks strength and grace and empowers us to soldier on.  We stand amazed at our majestic, glorious, mighty and wonderful God; knowing that what is most important is to see His will and work in us.  We magnify the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
