a revelation of His love & grace


During a time of worship, I was once again reminded of His love & grace. His hand upon my life all these years...A revelation of His grace that saves me, grace that reaches out to me in hopeless situations. Grace that made a way, where it was impossible for me to have known Him. Grace that made a way for salvation...because of His great love, we are not perishing...but being transformed into His likeness.

As I remember how the Lord set up different circumstances in my life that I may find Him, despite of my ignorance, rebellion and resistance, it never made Him given up on me (thank You, Lord!)...Yet He still passionately, jealously pursue me, that I may know Him, to be in the relationship with my Creator, that I may escape the judgment of this world, to be saved and have eternal life....because of His great love...

Acts 17:26-27
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.


And all I can do, is to worship Him with the very life that He gave...

How great the grace that enables us to be called children of God, that we may call Him our Daddy..our loving Father..for this is what You came for...this is Your heartbeat....

Can you hear His heartbeat? it beats for every single child of Him to come home...

John 1:12-13
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

thank you!


I had a mixed feeling leaving Brisbane, excited that I’ll be embarking on an adventure of faith, sad that I had to leave my home, my family in Christ....for now anyway.

Just would like to thank all my brothers and sisters who blessed me (you know who you are!), I’m thankful and will always remember that God’s love is evident through every one of you.
The gift that you gave is a prayer answered, a token of love, and the most important, it’s your offering unto the Lord. I’m thankful again for this family that God has placed in my life.

My heart is filled with joy, thankfulness and anticipation of the days ahead!!!!

The Lord is good, and His love endures forever...He is near to all who call upon His Name

into the storms..


During my time with the Lord today, He was pointing something to me..even as I reflect on my situations, other people's situations.

I was reminded of Luke 8:22-24, where God was teaching me, that many times, as we choose to obey the voice of God, often it leads us straight into "storms". It might be a conflict, a problem, a sickness, an impossible situation...in the passage, Jesus was initiating the disciple to go over to the other side of the lake, and we know how the story goes...

He was encouraging me that in the midst of storms of my life, He's always with me. As I obey Him, He promises that He will never leave me nor forsake me. And I need to believe that..I understand that at times, it is difficult, when all you can see is the problem, and when it seems in the natural that there's no way out, but as in my situation..God has always assure me, that I need to just believe and trust Him.
Because when the disciples were afraid, Jesus question them to where their faith is?

Faith to believe who He really is, and to hold on to that...will help us to stay where God wants us to be.

Just a piece of revelation that I hope to encourage anyone who is the midst of storm, to know that Jesus is with you...never will He leave nor forsake you.

And I believe that sometimes only in going through those "storms" in our life, then we'll have a deeper revelation of who God truly is. That we may then glorify and praise His name.

The disciples said (Luke8:24)
"In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this?He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him."

This promised us that God is in control and He's bigger than any storms that may come into our lives.
