A restorer of homes

Daddy God, I thank you for all the blessings though I felt so undeserving. I give all of me unto your hands. 

It has been months of seeking and trusting your lead. I know if you have called me to do ground work, I will pray over these families. If it is policy work, I will pray for wisdom to devise policies that could restore families. 

You know all my strength and weakness. You will equip. 

While our bosses and the world might expect more from us, I remember who my Commanding Officer is. Me who is caught up with His work should not be overly engaged or distracted with civilian matters. We do our best not for man's approval, for their appraisal or criticism comes and go like the wind. 

I am working for the Lord, who called me out of darkness and into his wonderful light. While we grow in the marketplace, don't ever lose our heart, as all things flows from it. 

Gerry, always yield towards a pure heart. May I never lose sight of this. 

Everything else on Earth is vapor, nothing else matters but Him, and living in His will is better than life. 

Being in this team of policymakers evidently makes me feel small and intimidated, for I know my weaknesses full well. I am not that capable and smart... Yet in you, I know I am more than a conqueror, and I can do all things through You who gives me strength. 

You have assured me with Isaiah 58, to rebuild walls and be a restorer of Homes.
You will be with me as I speak, and I will be your mouthpiece.

Isaiah 58 

“No, this is the kind of fasting I want:

Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;

    lighten the burden of those who work for you.

Let the oppressed go free,

    and remove the chains that bind people.

Share your food with the hungry,

    and give shelter to the homeless.

Give clothes to those who need them,

    and do not hide from relatives who need your help.


 “Then your salvation will come like the dawn,

    and your wounds will quickly heal.

Your godliness will lead you forward,

    and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

 Then when you call, the Lord will answer.

    ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.


“Remove the heavy yoke of oppression.

    Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!

Feed the hungry,

    and help those in trouble.

Then your light will shine out from the darkness,

    and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.

The Lord will guide you continually,

    giving you water when you are dry

    and restoring your strength.

You will be like a well-watered garden,

    like an ever-flowing spring.

Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities.

    Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls

    and a restorer of homes."


Keep my heart pure..

"Thirty years ago, my colleagues, younger and more dreamy eyed, settled the words of our pledge. We did not focus our minds on our navels or we would have missed the rainbow in the sky. We pursued that rainbow and that was how we came to build today’s Singapore" "There is a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure. And there are rich findings at the end of that rainbow." "To the young and the not too old, I say look at the horizon, find that rainbow, go ride it. Not all will be rich; quite a few will find a vein of gold but all who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit." Mr Lee Kuan Yew Looking at Lee Kuan Yew, how he gave up his life for the good of others, for the generation and future one to come to have a better life. How he sees the value of what he is doing.. Also reminded of Jesus Christ, how he gave up his life, sacrifice for us when he did no wrong, to that he may be sin ...

The heart of worship (Christian Artist)

Humbled by this experience to dance on stage for the audience of One, ministering to others through dance. Thank You Lord, all glory to you.  That first step of obedience is the toughest. I know full well someone else could do a better job than me, and know that it is by the grace of God that I can be involved in His kingdom, serving Him and ministering to others.  When I was doubting my abilities, secretly hoping that the leader will change his mind and get someone else to do it, God never stop searching my heart and tells me who am I in Him, that it is indeed all about Him and not me. He bring me back to this very reason of why I started dancing for Him. "I'll bring you more than a dance,  for a dance in itself, is not what you've required. You searched much deeper within,  through the way things appear,  You're looking into my heart."  (heart of worship) The world looks at efficiency and capability, but God looks at the hear...
