{ Back to His love.. - Pt. 2 }

"first Love, my first Love, my soul longs after You..

first Love, my first Love, i want my heart to stay so true..

because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be..

You will always be, my first Love."

- first love by unknown

how timely.. especially in the season where we are in for changes that are happening around our environment, and likewise world wide. for us to go back to where He has all started, goes to show His upmost faithfulness and constant love for us from beginning till the end.

it is the journey that we have to humbly learn to enjoy rather than the tendency of foreseeing the destination, expecting microwave and five minute instant noodles results.

He is stirring in His greatness.. His empowerment.. His kingdom.. in the ones who are called by the Father, to do the extraordinary in natural circumstances.

it is time to only shine, but shine brighter because He has created us to be His light; a light that never fades -- "like the rising sun that shines.." (awakening by hillsong)

to be spirtually and inwardly awakened, is a preview of the manifestation of the giftings and workings that He has for us. more so, the coming out of His kingdom that He has placed inside of us -- the things of God cannot be contained, it only has one direction and that is, OUT.

"Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you:

that you believe in the One whom He has sent

[that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger]."

- John 6:29, Amplified.

{ Ministry starts at home! }

just ended an awesome fellowship sesh with Dad as it has been quite awhile.. realized how i missed it much and His anointing and ease just flowed through every word of love and encouragement. i will say this again, besides God and Jesus, there's Dad and Mum -- true story!

and it will take beyond countless of blog entries and words to contain how much they have both impacted my siblings and my life. truly God awesome "oldies" (haha) who are so full of His astronomical grace (Dad's fave words) are the number two blessings in our lives besides His relationship with us.

#family is always on His mind and ministry starts at home!

realized that who we are at wherever He has placed us to be, should not change who we are at home. as BJ quotes: "who i am at the pulpit, should be who i am at home."

it is time to allow Him to transform us from the inside out starting at the place that we deem the most comfort of being our true and raw self, our very own home -- where behind doors, where no one is looking, where the public is no where in sight, is where we find our behavior alining to the one that the rest of the world sees.

{ Back to Him.. Pt. 1 }

Ever felt that what you are right now, where you are right now, and who you are with right now, all came with a purpose?

Is this like, yes I know I'm blessed, I know I'm favored, I know I'm loved, I know I'm saved and forgiven, but what is the true reason behind all of that? Definitely not only for our own happy and bless me living but for His very kingdom cause which I want to personally go back to.

Enough with familiarities and the typical routines that we are so formally attached to and occasionally get lost in. And definitely definitely enough with the stain glass masquerade I have got it all together vibe that we have it going all the time.

Time to get real with God and His people -- It is only then His glory can shine through our very own weakness and ugliness of human waste. There the world will know that it not of man, but of Him.

Desperately with my heart and soul want to go back where He has saved me from to the person I am now. Just to go back to the true meaning of what His grace is all about. Go back to His feet and laying everything down. Go back to being humble in His presence of unending love.

No more pretense God. Fill me now.

Do not just want a life of my own, desires or wants or dreams or anything of me, I want a life of Your will to be done on our earth as it is in heaven. This is why we are living and breathing on this earth to make a huge impact of a difference in.

And simply come to and declaring, with no complications or man made religious philosophies, that God is good, God is able and God is love! That's all.

Okay back to Mum as she has been patiently waiting for my hands to get into her hair. Time to be His hands and feet. First up, Mum's mane. Bahaha. Random. Oh bless her.
