Father. Okay. I don’t know how much of this I believe, but I know this, I need a Father. There is so much in my that yet needs fathering. And I don’t want to live fatherless anymore. So come and help me make that shift. You have taken me home, through Christ, to be your daughter. I accept that. I give my life back to you, to be your true daughter. Father me. Father me!

How much of my life have I been misinterpreting? How much things have I been written of as “life is hard” or even as warfare, when in fact God was in it; in the difficulty, wanting to Father me?

I want to be brave and true. I want a strength, and I want to offer it to others.
Lead me.
Restore me as the beloved child. Father me.

day by day, and with each passing moment

Day by day, and with each passing moment, Strength I find to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure, Gives unto each day what He deems best, Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest. Every day the Lord Himself is near me, With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r. The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; “As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” This the pledge to me He made. Help me then, in every tribulation, So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation, Offered me within Thy holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E’er to take, as from a father’s hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till with Christ the Lord I stand. In Psalm 27:10-14 Th...

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news

There are 26 Children's/ Residential Home in Singapore. Over 3000+ children/youths that are residing and cared for in an out-of-home environment. Some may have been there for years.  My family may not be perfect, but I have experienced the warmth and rewards of it. I do not have to worry about my 3 meals and physical safety. I am blessed with a sheltered roof over my head, toys to play with in my childhood and a loving environment that I feel emotionally safe and valued.  These 3000+ children admitted are those who are either from dysfunctional families and in need of shelter, abused or neglected. Most are in need of care and protection. For those beyond parental control or in conflict with the law, they are in need of guidance and care. Behind every single number on screen, is a life with potential. One that He has a purpose for and gave His life for. One with a story to tell, and a breakthrough to proclaim.  Though I may not be able to be on the ground wi...

the right one..

While the world urges me to focus on finding the right person, my Lord and Saviour tells me to focus on BEING the right person. He says "I'll help you find the right person, you don't need to sweat over it. Fulfilling your need for companionship (or another other need/want like wealth, fame, approval for that matter) is not so important that you need to emphasize on it so much.There are more pressing and urgent things to sweat over, things that matter to me. People in need, people who are hurting, people who have yet to experience my goodness. These things are more worthy of your energy and attention. Seek first my kingdom and my righteousness, I'll take care of you. Focus on BEING the right person." Finding the right person is self-centered, BEING the right person is God-centered.   .
