Are we worthy and deserving? No, we are not. Since the fall of Adam and Eve, we were not. Since the existence of sin of our fathers and it’s resulting curse, we were condemned. Matthew 20:25-28 (ESV) But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it…

A Walk to Remember…
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now
(Extracts of lyrics from song, Ocean, by Hillsong United.)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Is this about the beautiful but wicked Queen who was the villainess in the fairy tale, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, first published in December 1937? The one who would stand before her talking mirror to inquire, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Each time, the mirror would respond…
Anchor
People often describe life as an ocean, deep and mysterious, and we are the vessels. Vessels come in small and big, from fishing boats, cargo vessels to warships.

To some, it may sound disrespectful to not only a deceased but the deceased who had done much to earn our respect in every way. Pardon me but being a true Singaporean, well-protected in a developing island to a developed…
The Narrow Door
This was at the start of the year 2015. It has been over a decade that I finally met with my dad and the extended family. My brother & I decided we should respond to an invitation to a Chinese New Year dinner gathering. The day came and we arrived at the place as agreed…
My poverty, my dowry.
“With regard to God, our poverty is our humble recognition and acceptance of our sinfulness, helplessness, and utter nothingness, and the acknowledgement of our neediness before Him, which expresses itself as hope in Him, as an openness to receive all things from Him as our Father. Our poverty should be true gospel poverty-gentle, tender, glad…
Will
“Your life is not for you to throw away. The will to live is stronger than anything.” ~ Hiko Seijuro, Master of Kenshin What is will? The dictionary explains “will” as a wish or desire, the faculty of conscious and especially of deliberate action; the power of control the mind has over its own actions….
I am Beautiful.
