So, I don’t want to settle for the wrong relationship and get hurt, but it’s so hard waiting and watching all my friends being in these really great relationships when nothing ever seems to happen for me. Sometimes, it doesn’t seem fair. I need some advice for all this waiting. Thanks in advance!

Easy morning musings
What is it about us humans that makes us detest ourselves? Why is it so easy for us to hate ourselves or accept that we are worthless? Why is it so easy for us to be self-destructive? Why is it so easy for us to believe a lie?
It seems so weird when we are lovingly crafted in God’s image by God Himself. It is so strange when the most powerful being in existance would give up His son to die...

I dislike it when people define themselves by their struggle.
As a Christian, YOU ARE DEFINED BY CHRIST
No, you are not a ‘gay Christian’ any more than a loose unmarried person is a ‘promiscuous Christian’ or one with a language problem a ‘cussing Christian’
You are rather a Child of God, represented by Christ’s righteousness that battles the flesh most recognizably on the...

Sometimes I feel like I am walking around like this:
So I am like, God, please fix this for me!
And when it doesn’t happen as fast as I want, I feel like this:
And then I think, God has control. God has control.
And then it turns out His plan is way better than mine was and I’m like:

Thank You, Daddy God
Thank You, Daddy God, for choosing to give me life this day many years ago.
Thank You for knitting me so intricately, weaving in threads of Your divine Self, despite knowing that I’d spend many years doubting, despising and not appreciating them.
Thank You for choosing me for such a time as this.
Thank You for equipping me and gifting me for all You’ve called me for, and especially...

Back To The Start
Saturday’s worship session during youth service was a balm for my weary soul. After offering special guest worship leader Martin Smith began to sing Back To The Start.
It reminded me of something C mentioned during last care group that had brought to mind incidents from my past. A few years back, I remembered the Arrow (our varsity ministry) service where I was lost and hopeless, and just gave...
2012 Resolutions
I am not the sort to make resolutions, because after awhile I’d forget about them or purposely break them because I don’t really care. Yet this year, I do have a couple of resolutions I hope to see through by the grace of God.
No unnecessary shopping in Singapore. If none of the 10 pairs of shoes are broken, no new ones. If it is not work-related, no new ones. Holidays are excepted.

Maybe in spite of how much we wish to be different, we long to be accepted. Maybe all those differences weren’t meant to isolate us all, separate us from being the Church. Maybe they were meant to bring us all together - the different pieces of the puzzle joining to recreate a reflection of God’s image. The Church - not broken up into different denominations and teachings - but as a...

Who among us today would have the strength, the perseverance, the courage, to live such a life and endure such a ministry? A weak man or woman, expecting nothing but prosperity, comfort and health, would wilt within two weeks.
It is the church’s duty and calling to raise men and women with the strength of Jeremiah who will not wilt in the face of the fiercest persecution imaginable —...
