The chosen vessel

The Master was searching for a vessel to use; On the shelf there were many - which one would He choose? Take me, cried the gold one, I'm shiny and bright, I'm of great value and I do things just right. My beauty and luster will outshine the rest And for someone like You, Master, gold would be the best! The Master passed on with no word at all; He looked at a silver urn, narrow and tall; I'll serve You, dear Master, I'll pour out Your wine And I'll be at Your table whenever You dine, My lines are so graceful, my carvings so true, And my silver will always compliment You. Unheeding the Master passed on to the brass, It was widemouthed and shallow, and polished like glass. Here! Here! cried the vessel, I know I will do, Place me on Your table for all men to view. Look at me, called the goblet of crystal so clear, My transparency shows my contents so dear, Though fragile am I, I will serve You with pride, And I'm sure I'll be happy in Your hou...
I am not afraid of failure. I am only afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.

Grace

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, Knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job. For who am I to serve You? I know I don't deserve You. I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, When I keep on letting you down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, How far will forgiveness abound?" And You answer: "My child, I love you. And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace." As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You By giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me. Thank you Lord, how many times we've failed, still your mercy remains…  The short met up with a sister was a powerful encounter and sharing.  I learnt so much from her. Thankful that we are bought together as good friends.  Listening...

Go- fest 2015

Do you ever experience times when you procrastinated, and just wanted to stay at home, lying on your comfy bed and not get out of the house doing His work? Well, I just experienced it today... My legs were sore due to hours of walking yesterday, and I just wanted some rest on the Sunday night, watching some movies, and basically, just not doing anything at all. Knew very clearly that there is a Geylang prayer walk tonight but yet my heart wasn't aligned with Jesus, contemplating if I should go with that tired body of mine. I literally dragged my feet to change clothes and make myself leave the house to go to the bus-stop, and simultaneously giving excuses of why I deserve a rest and go back. On honest reflection, there is a real temptation of the mission field, to compromise on upholding one's values as no one is there to question. But yet I knew so clearly His will is greater than my feelings, and for the sake of the world, the broke...

It's been 2 years and we're still growing and learning from one another. So thankful to see how much you've grown in your love for God and for people. My greatest contentment as your mentor.   Went to Kallang WaterWay with MeiYen. Loving the scenery and never knew there is this part of Singapore. Nature brings me closer to you, that You are everywhere.   Spontaneous photoshoot and so amazed by her skills. (jawdrop) Refreshed once again. The best part of holidays. :)

So... What is life?

Thank you Lord.. My neuro module, I cant believe I got a B instead of C+ or even fail! God, what's happening to me! This time round i get much much better than last semester, but yet my heart is not filled with gratitude or intense joy that burst to tears compared to last sem.. what's going on? I dont wanna take this sem results for granted Lord. This is a gift. U wanted me to carry on to Year 4, to be a blessing to the NUS and MDIS ministry, to love people genuinely like you do, to lay down my rights for you and your people like you do, to be devoted to you. These are my goals for my final year in NUS. Lord, it would be almost impossible or a miracle to hit the bar, i know you will give me what is sufficient, and studying in NUS, in Singapore, is already a privilege. As of what apostle paul had said, "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any or every situation, whether well fed or hungry,...
