Unveiling Heart

They break us and continue to break us With hours unending With policies unfriendly Relentlessly breaking our soul Cries stream from within stifled by voices Comply it's the culture that's how things go But is that what we were taught as kids? I remember lessons on being brave for the cause of justice and more Think people with your mind and heart Do you wish to leave this as a legacy Your children to bear the burden of precedence you set to climb the corporate ladder By corrupting the system Little by little Hour by hour Soul by soul Finally, you got everything but did you gain your soul?

 Recently, I registered myself on a few matrimonial sites to see if I could find a potential match. Unfortunately, I came across some fake profiles and felt unsafe, so I deleted my account. These platforms are meant to help people find a life partner in a safe environment, yet some come with very different intentions. It’s called Holy Matrimony for a reason. Marriage was God’s idea from the beginning. When God created Adam, He gave him Eve, for it was not good for him to be alone. Adam responded with joy: “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” This is why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one. “Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.” (Genesis 2:23–25, NLT) Adam burst into beautiful poetry of praise. It was holy because they became one—united, unashamed, and completely open before each other. God desig...

 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...

 We all like looking good. No one ever posts an ugly picture of themselves. We always dress pretty to look our best in the world. And I am guilty of all of these things. I have heard people say as long as you're not harming someone or if you do good things you're a good person. But I believe that this is far from the truth. We are deeper than the things we see. Our motivations, intentions and thoughts are visible to a God who is Holy and Righteous. If I was to be extremely honest I am nowhere close to being good before a Holy God. Being a Christian, makes me see the beauty of God in Christ who selflessly sacrificed His only Son as a payment for our sins. At the same time, there is a growing awareness of the selfishness of my heart, the constant need to control and have things my way. And the depth of wretchedness and sin rooted in my heart and the facade placed to cover these things with seemingly good acts.  I am glad that God is a loving Father who loves us so deeply that He...

 As some of you know I was made redundant and have been unemployed since July, I am writing this post to encourage you and especially myself while we are in this journey of transition together. I am thankful to God for His presence each day. His grace and fellowship every hour. There are times I would feel lost but the Holy Spirit through His word would remind me that He is my Provider and Sustainer and it's not a man or a company- these are means and not an end. Truly thankful for such a wonderful God who understands the depths of my thoughts, fears and worries and addresses them gently as a Father and secures my weak heart. He truly withheld no good thing from me. The reality is there are expenses each month. I am thankful for friends who have been there for me in this phase of my life and extended help and support in every way God enabled them to. Some ordered groceries, some helped financially without me reaching out to them, some sent job references, some checked on my emotion...

Be my highest desire Lord May I delight in You alone The Eternal one My soul tends to cling to the earth that is fleeting Open my eyes to see Your Beauty  Help me understand Your Love and Sacrifice That I longed for all along This soul can only be satisfied in You My Creator God Not in the world that leaves me wanting more So let me treasure You only The length and breadth and depth of Your love Displayed on the cross of Calvary Where You gave Your all In love for me Came back to life and promised eternity  So may my roots grow deep in You By loving You with all of me I know You're worthy of my adoration and worship Faithful One who will never leave  If I hope in a man they will pass If I hope in my works it won't last  If I hope in things it will soon perish All my earthly gains are a loss Compared to the surpassing worth of knowing You Yes You are my greatest gain  So May I be found in You Make my heart a fertile ground to yield to You  May I be like a tr...

My most favourite prayer of all is the Lord's prayer. I learnt it when I was studying in a convent school. It has always remained with me. I would pray this frequently without fully understanding the meaning. Despite the darkness, I'm reminded of the words of Jesus when asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display, Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]. So now when I pray the Lord's Prayer, I ask God by faith to fill me with His Holy Spirit. Jesus gladly embraced the cross which was the will of the Father to bring many sons and daughters into reconciliation. This was possible through His willful submission. And there on the cross in agony, Jesus said Father forgive them, a response of love from a Holy God towards sinful people. An...
