Your heart will beat again!

Just 2 days before my birthday in 2016, the man whom I loved decided to tell me he doesn’t love me anymore.

My heart was broken and the days that followed were excruciating. I would wake up and feel empty with no joy to get out of my bed. My hope was gone. I had no motivation to do things I once enjoyed.

And then the Holy Spirit reminded me to pick up the cross and follow Christ. He encouraged me to live again and enjoy the gift of life. He spoke to me through a dear friend in a letter given to me on my birthday. She wrote- "Your heart will beat again!"

I am a hopeful romantic. I believe in two imperfect people pursuing the perfect love of Christ. Yes, I'm still hopeful. The more I learn about God's love for me, the more I'm drawn to Him. I realize that everything in this world is dull in comparison to the selfless love of Christ. He relentlessly pursues my heart with an unceasing love even when I fail Him every day. He faithfully encourages me to live life every day even when I am unfaithful. He is my Best Friend. He is the One who laid down His life for me. Words fall short to describe His amazing love. So I urge you to come to Christ to experience His love for you. I must warn you - He will captivate your heart with His love forever and you will never be the same. He will fill your broken and empty heart with His satisfying love, joy and peace. His love will overflow from you to reach others who are in desperate need of love.

Praying that everything that seems dead within you will come to life. I know your heart will beat again. Encouraging you to live and enjoy the gift of life.

Longing for forever!

Being in the lockdown, I have come to appreciate the stillness, something I am not used to. Life gets so busy and it's like a monotonous routine. I almost felt like a hamster on a wheel. This period of rest has enabled me to slow down and appreciate the things I wouldn't notice because of busyness such as the birds outside my window, the sounds of them chirping every morning. Moreover, me wondering and reflecting as I used to when I was a child, I was so easily amazed at what I was learning. Growing up I somehow lost that and I feel like God is bringing me back to that place where I can be in awe of Him. In one of my conversations with my dear friend I mentioned- " Do you ever wonder why we say best friends Forever or I love you Forever? You know it's not strange that we long for Forever cause it is God who created us with that longing. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it's written: God has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of...

Out of nothing...

In the beginning, before anything, when there was nothing— You were. Before time, Your Spirit hovered, hovering over the void, over empty space. Then You spoke— O, You spoke and said, “Let there be light,” and piercing the darkness, light came. Such was the world without You; such is the landscape of our hearts— empty, without form, and void. It was nothing. But You spoke again: “Let there be light.” This time, the Word that existed in the beginning became flesh— the Word incarnate: Jesus, the true light for all, Immanuel, God with us. He dwelt among us. He became like us yet without sin. He became curse for us, and was pierced for our sin. Yet we did not recognize Him. Searching for Him in the law, we missed Him. But the law was fulfilled through His perfect love and sacrifice— and still, we did not comprehend. We thought He deserved it. He sees all our thoughts, the motives of our hearts— dark, devoid of love, formless without Christ, nothing but self. Yet He died and took our ...

The King We Didn’t Expect

They expected You to come as a military King to rescue them from Roman oppression. But You came as a Servant King, riding on a humble donkey. Your mission was to rescue us from the sin and selfishness that oppress our souls. But we are still looking for a Saviour to rescue us from the circumstances we are in, but not the oppression within. I am no different from them. I quickly forget and, like Thomas, declare: “I will never believe until I touch His nail-pierced hands and side.” Oh my soul, how quickly you forget how humbly He entered my heart as He entered Jerusalem on a lowly colt. I celebrated and rejoiced when He came and did miracles, singing Hosanna in the highest, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” But when the night came and He submitted to the Father’s will, I find it hard to surrender, thinking it is mine. Seeing God pierced and crushed and chastised, I wonder, Where is His strength? I forget that my sin on Him was laid, that His blood and water c...
