Grace does not demand perfection, it supplies it.

We don’t hold ourselves to our imperfect being,

because goodness we got none.

But rather, He holds ourserlves to His perfect being,

because goodness He’s got sparingly.

We can simply never run out of His grace,

because Jesus has already won and is perfectly seated on the throne.

{ Your limits, His greatest. }

"God’s greater purpose in any area of your life means giving up your false expectations of greatness to find the greater things He’s called only YOU to do.

It means giving up on what others can do that you wish you could do and what you would do if you had certain gifts that you, candidly, do not have and may never develop.

When you embrace the limitations of your current life situation and decide to trust God completely and cooperate with Him fully in this season of your life, even GREATER things are POSSIBLE."

{ Love like His, Love like Him. }

"Watch what God does, then you do it.
Like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents.

Mostly what God does is love you.

Keep company with Him and learn a life of love.
Observe how Christ loved us.
His love was not cautious but extravagant.

He didn’t love in order to get something from us,
But to give everything of Himself to us.

Love like that."

{ Live on what He says you can do, & not what you say you cannot do. }

We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody.

 Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, “I set you up as father of many peoples”?

Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing.

When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do.

And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!”

when God calls forth seeds of greatness in us, it goes to show that those seeds were already planted and grown in His eyes despite what we yet to see. and all we need to right now, is just be rather than do -- because what God sees in existence, is already alive and breathing.

(inspired by dailydevo by j.osteen)

“whatever You have called us Lord, we are to become than to work forth that calling. because You do not call for someone who isn’t but is. I rather have the God things than the good ones, because that way I know and I know and I know, it could have only come nowhere else but from Your hand of grace upon grace.

Even in the impossibilities and hopelessness, help me to live not on my own human limitations, but on Your God unlimitations which says all things are possible with You to whom believes.

I believe Lord, I believe -- not in what You can, but Who You are.”

{ He makes all things new. }

am beholding that He has made all things new, and have unveiled what was impossible in mind, possible in my eyes.

how faithful are You Lord? 

above and beyond is only what You can ever do. daring to go and do what men cannot and will not. 

for You are heading on and doing a new thing and start in our lives, one cannot help but marvel at Your goodness that knows no end which overwrites and removes what is not right and Godly from our end.

one cannot help but be excited for the many other 'greater' doors, miracles, experiences, presence, gifts, supply, connections, answered prayers, blessings, abundance and revelations of the very person and being of You.

i declare that God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.

“[Live Well, Live Wisely]

Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom?

Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly.

It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts.

Mean-spirited ambition isn’t wisdom.

Boasting that you are wise isn’t wisdom.

Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn’t wisdom.

It’s the furthest thing from wisdom—it’s animal cunning, devilish conniving.

Whenever you’re trying to look better than others or get the better of others,

things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others’ throats.”

{ He shields you & lifts your head high in victory among your enemies. }

“O Lord, I have so many enemies.

Many fight against me and say:

God will never rescue him!

But you O Lord, shield me on all sides and around me;

You are my glory, grounding my feet and holding my head high.

And you give me victory and great honor.”

- Psalm 3:1-3 (WordRemix// NLT, Contempt Eng, Msg)

When David wrote this verse, He was in a very difficult situation – He was actually running for his life from his very own son who wanted to kill him and take over his throne.

Can you imagine?! David was probably feeling overwhelmed, distraught, heartbroken, betrayed and abandoned.

But notice that David didn’t just tell the Lord all about his problems. He told the Lord about his faith when he said, “But You, God, are a shield around me...” David made the choice to focus on God’s goodness no matter what.

We have to remember, circumstances may be tough, but God is working behind the scenes on your behalf.

Things may look impossible today, BUT WITH GOD, all things are possible!

{ Son-day. }

it has honestly been the most eventful sunday ever... where do i begin?

Grace can resurrect what was dead.
God has the final say in your life.
child like faith mirrors your identity of Whose child you are.
He is moving in all generations.
worship is also where healing and miracles happen.
God's possibilities can only exist in our impossibilities.
wanting the God things than the good things.
depending on His blessings so that the blame can entirely be on Him.
grace does not involve the work of our hands but His.
familee is the best Grace gift with unfailing love, untainted trust and unlimited grace.
God only gives weight to what is Godly.
He makes all things work together for our good.
open communication is deserved in all r/s.

He's starting with the man in the mirror."

{ Unbreakable. ]

when one is among open communication, authentication through all expressions and words, vulnerability that goes beyond the fears of what other's may think, God starts breaking through every human barrier there ever is despite how long or deep it has been, and hits the very spot where only one would know it came from Above.

a soul that once was weeping, is now reaping. He uses what was broken, and makes it fly again -- the very thing that was meant to break us, has caused us to be, unbreakable. in what felt like fire, has produced fine gold like never before.

God doesn't do greater things exclusively through great people. He does them through anyone who is willing to trust Him in greater ways.

In spite of all the parts of us that are anything but good, God is holding the door open to a life that is greater.

Because the call to be greater is the call to walk with God Himself. God’s greatness will not be just walking around you, it will start working through you.”

- S. Furtick

{ Not who I use to be. }

“because I’m not who I use to be, I am redeemed.” – BDW.

despite all our failures, He wants us not to remain cringing or condemned about our mistakes, but rather allowing Him to grow us in the very area we are lacking at. not only He turns our weaknesses into strengths, but also cause us to use it as a weapon for His glory. that is how He works --

He does not throw away rotten apples like the world, and deem it as a lost cause, but He cuts off the rotten bits and uses it again to prove to those voice of reasons that He is the hope to all humanity.

even with every slipup, it is how we pick ourselves up that determines the success in our journey. He does not only celebrate when we succeed, but when we have the courage to continue the journey He has called us in. our walk with Him cannot be tainted, penetrated, changed stopped.

What He deems irrevocable will remain so – love it how He has the final say in everything.

“I know You’re causing me to rise above my feelings, especially when faced in moments where the battle between doing what You desire us for, and what we’re experiencing in that present moment does not par up. and when we face those fears head on, our identity of being more than conquerors and ability to all things through You begin to unfold as an experience and reality than just words.

your grace is causing us to rise above new heights, bringing us higher to places we yet soar before. this is the time to not back down, going right into the eye of the storm, and allow rest to take place.

I will rise.”

"let mercy fall on me..."

- hillsong (mighty to save)

-----

been praising to this song since forever back home, (and home meaning good ol' WA), and the lyrics of this song started to dawn upon not only my head, but heart of hearts -- sipping through and refining every human characteristic trait there is, and being overwhelmed in what He has called for us to be...

the channel of His compassion, His kindness, His saving grace, His mercy, His love that never once has failed, His very representative of hope to the nations...

that despite what the world or people who are close say or do, we do more than turn the other cheek when the intense relationship or criticism starts vomiting in. rather so, we allow them to experience the unexpected yet expected of what He has already equipped and transformed us to be...

sons and daughters of the ever living God, who are so secured in their unchangeable and untainted identity -- that when offense appears, grace and mercy also appears.

and one must not stop when there is a road block, as they are just storms which will lift us right up then the usual stationery position on the ground. He wants to take us higher, to levels that only He can take us.

love how a precious sister, M, who have always said the most anointed and encouraging thing in this grace journey of mine. and it divinely happens in times where one needs it the very most. bless your heart and soul for your words of gold and being expectant with me. since that makes the two of us, He's already working within and behind the scenes.

and as you graciously reminded me, it is because of our very undeserved state that He has called us which is irrevocable, nothing of us can ever change the destiny that He have birthed forth. one's faith learns to rest and fix my eyes on above instead of straight ahead.

it is time to shine our light, and let the whole world see. (working in progress. He that is.)

{ Ask & not assume despite all circumstances. }

when you assume, you definitely make an ass of yourself. true, story! despite the reliability of your information or how obvious and natural things may look or turn out, open communication is still the antidote to miscommunication/undestanding in all relationships.

instead of statements being put out, questions are available for the other party to clarify and displace their truths on their end, which in turn getting rid of your pre-believed and self-justification of purely made up facts.

Despite the shortcomings of our failures, they are just external. In this case, notes and lyrics.

Sometimes the hardest critics are of our own voices. Just felt like an ultimate let down for the entire team, as one’s heavy mistake have spread through all else.

But when He gently interferes, He comes in as a faint whisper, and reassures us with His heart as a Father who have redeemed us

Freedom starts to jump forth, chains of regrets and condemnation are being broken, and eyes on one’s limitation are now looking at help from above.

Anointing is all we ever want when we serve the King and His people – which cannot be taught by the greatest talent out there, but it can definitely be freely given by the greatest Performer there ever is.

He did the ultimate show as a servant King on the very cross itself. From royalty to rags drenched with His own blood bled to and for an audience.

I wanna flow in the rhythms of His grace and be so caught in it where nothing and no one can ever separate and penetrate.

Let the redeemed of the Lord says so.

"But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head".

{ "Redeemed" by Big Daddy Weave }

Seems like all I can see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son
Stop fighting a fight that's already been won"

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off theses heavy chains
Wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head"
I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet

I don't have to be the old man inside of me
Cause his day is long dead and gone
I've got a new name, a new life I'm not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

{ All I have, is Yours. }

To be grateful with the little,

Your lack will turn into abundance,

As you start to realize,

You are more blessed that you ever know.

Because whatever that He has placed in your hands,

Is not an entitlement but birthed on an undeserved place of grace,

Where is it always more than enough and sufficient,

Greater than your needs, and greater than your desires.

This is what is like being royalty.

Knowing that the palace you are of permanent residence,

Has a King who is always for His very own.

-----

“Whatever I got in my hands Lord, I offer it unto You.

Knowing that You are the one who shall do the increase, multiplication and supply.

I am not going to wait here for the miracle or change of situation and circumstance,

For the desire is not purely on what is on my heart,

But rather of one that is after You.

It is not by my will but Yours to be done.

And let it be so -- Overwrite what is mine.

All I have, is Yours.”

{ DailyDevo Repost: "Run your race." }

“My challenge to you today is: Run you race.

Don’t let people squeeze you into their mould. Remember, you don’t have to try to play up to people. You don’t have to worry about what everyone else thinks.

Run your race and to win and honor God in everything that you do!"

Lord, I will fix my eyes on you, the Author and Finished of my faith.

{ God is able }

For you are unable,

He is able.

For you are in the darkness,

He is your light.

For you are in doubt,

He is your hope.

For you think it’s impossible,

He says it’s possible.

For you think it’s over,

He says it only the start of something greater.

For you think there is no way out,

He says way.

For you think to settle,

He says I’ll go above and beyond.

For you see lack and not having enough,

He sees abundance and always having more than enough.

For you say where are you,

He says I am here.

For you say who am I,

He says you are Mine.

For you say no I can’t,

He says yes you can.

Our God works entirely opposite to what man determines it to be.

He goes elsewhere than the natural.

This is our God, He is simply one of a kind.

{ Greatness in the Midst of Criticism. Pt. 2 }

(continued from previous post)

this not just a lesson that is a hit for the first or second time, and then you give yourself some self-justification in a form of a pat on the back. it is a constant value that needs to be implemented on a daily basis -- especially during those testing period of intense relationships with the ones who are exceptionally close.

not saying that one is pros even when it is practiced most of the time, because no one at their own righteous mind-set deserves what He has gracefully (without a doubt) given to us. just as we are freely forgiven, and if one truly knows the heart of our Saviour King, it will birth forth into a continuous action rather than just a good verse to say amen to.

still working in progress with this one, and it is a divine lesson due to a current and a couple of other past experiences of dealing with hurt and absence of relationship values from the ones whom you completely did not cross your mind in doing so – and the scary thing is that they do not even realize, reasons with a need to change only at the other party’s end and conjures this narcissistic thinking of one being “left behind”.

to say that to one’s very own personal walk with Him is beyond criticism which the recipient of that strong statement is left speechless. ironic as one is also hit with the comment of being fault finding in other’s own journey as well which never once was practiced. honestly, that is one of the few areas that i would never place a judgement or own two cents about. the only person rightfully to judge is Him and He does not even go there.

funny how people are so centered in their own shoes rather than ever using a moment or two to see how would it be like to be in another pair. and to think they conquered it once, they have this security in their right doing for that time, building up a wall of confidence that they are almost there and not knowing it’s a continuous action when faced with difficult situations.

have realized that what people are so aware of in others, is actually brewing in their very own area of concern such as sensitivity or building a wall up. what they so firmly believe in that is in the other party has unknowingly being eternalized in their own character and thinking. what you feed on is what it will manifest. yes, it is a battle of being insecurity which everyone has different levels of dealing with it.

it is erroneous to think there are deeper issues that one have without a hint of discernment among what seems obvious. there is a difference when men look unto their wide knowledge or experiences comparative to what He can reveal.

to be blowing up for being assumed at with a question, and yet doing just the same but with a statement this time hits the ‘personal’ zone very intensely. and with that caused one to look forth what is really going on which everything was let out to begin with.

after weeks of seeking Him about it, it has brought forth a sense of not ever basing on anyone’s affirmation or thoughts towards us – despite being good or bad, have learnt to not say the “right” thing to soothe the ears of another, and to not change for anybody.

everything that has surfaced has already been transparent, and yet putting forth a assurance of being ‘more than’ just as it is is a lack of judgement on truly knowing one’s heart. that can be easily said comparative to putting it in action, and unfortunately it does not match up. one has been more than real in situations that only He would know, yet being doubted is a question to put forth in a relationship and what it stands on.

people remember your words because it has either created a dent or lift. in both cases, it carries power and changes the direction of situations. even blind freddy can tell the severity of this one which in this case goes to show that if one never learns, they never will. being aware of one’s own actions and faults is not one to change by their own strength but rather surrendering it entirely to Him to refine and mould -- Men’s fire leaves you burnt, but God’s fire leaves you unharmed and polished.

with the many experiences of tension from another female party does not lie on the one experiencing it, but rather on the one who is giving it out. no point trying to pacify them as they are not stable in their own identity and hence sabotages others who are -- and this comes in a very subtle and indirect form. one even dares to question your longitivty and quality of friendships with the rest of the sisterhood which in this case, have backfired.

It is very easy to finger point, find faults and blind spotting on others, but that is not what He has called us all to do. there is a difference when correction is done in love and you know when it is do by how it is let out and received by the other party. listening is also very vital and listening with grace rather than always waiting for one to finish and quickly come in like a kid on fire.

learnt that even if we have the goodness in our hearts, but it comes of wrong, it is still wrong – execution of His grace is birthed from being secured from it hence it produces right living. it is not only about the inside but likewise for the outside. one needs to be mindful of what is put forth externally as it is only Him who knows our heart and no one else.

the number of people who have hurt me were not ones that were from a distant but rather of close proximity and relations. ones that your wall is completely down, trust is at full reign and giving is never ending because never a doubt you would think that they of all people can cause such a wound among the circle of love and encouragement -- instead of killing me (though it may have felt like death), it has made me stronger.

though all this, forgiveness is key to an offense creating an antidote to the wound. and it is not just a one off solution but rather a relentless one to be conscious of. and wisdom is to see whether if it is time to stay or move on. and like He has already promised, whatever new He is prepping, I am ready. because one is tired of the old wine skin.

this would be the very last of any mention of this – even nice people have limits. have learnt from an ample of situations where the word enough is at its end of being capped and bold. time to rise above your neighbour’s affirmation and expectations and remove all forms of toxic relationships.

soul detox has already begun.

and where would I be without the security of Him telling me “who I am, and Whose I am” (k. vallotton).

"i am Yours, and forever will be."

{ DailyDevo Repost: "Greatness in the Midst of Criticism." }

When someone gives you a hard time,

respond with the energies of prayer,

for then you are working out of your true selves,

This is what God does.

He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone,

regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty.

It’s a promise."

- Max Lucado (On the Anvil)

{ Not destined to settle, because He did that on the cross. }

when we start settling knowing He has the best for us as an option and not a mere dream, it does not taste as good as what one may imagine. the prolonged cravings are gutted with a blend flavor and ruining your taste buds due to a poor choice and regrets of not taking the best He has to offer -- which was by the way, all along at arm's length and not tucked away in a corner.

we are not destined to settle -- because He did that once and for all at the cross when He cried out those three words that changed and shifted our eternal destiny. and especially not with the aftermath of what He has already done for us. for He died for the worse of the worse, so that now we can have the best of the very best (repost rev).

and best does not mean of what our limited spaces can endure, but rather what He usually does that no human genius of a mind can conjure up. we truly do not understand the severity of what above and beyond can do besides the One who oversees everything.

and to think for a second that His best for us is just as easy as grabbing and receiving what He has to offer, compared to what we think that is unreachable to one's hands. no more second best and hand me downs, for one is loved and not pre-loved to any condition or standards.

it is time for Him to make it happen instead of our own. it is time to receive than achieve. it is time to let God be God then just letting go. and it is time to give Him a shot of what He has to truly offer that is far beyond what one can dare to hope and dream.

reigning is what You do, and what You are gong to do through us. just as You are, so are we Lord, so, are, we."

{ Melodies of memory lane. }

Songs does not only evoke emotions, but it unlocks your memory bank of the different seasons one was at. Your history is revisited when the track is played at the present moment, leaving you a sense of how He has brought you from where you were, to where you are now.

Though the places and people changes from time to time, it does develop a sense of thanksgiving of the good times shared with the moments He divinely placed us at. And one is rather overwhelmed by His wonders through it all.

{ Quality Time. }

today has started off with relationships that means alot to me because it has always came from a place of love and comfort of being in one's own skin and never fault finding. the realness and heart of one is exposed and valued which is rare to find and will definitely cherish as it is compared to finding a one of a kind gem.

truly thank God for family, who are the number one blessing and will continue to be in our lives. these are the people whom He has called forth as a constant support system whom you know you do not need to count on, because they are already there without being asked. love is spread out in many many ways both in the receiving and giving end making home a place of a safe haven and rest.

another group of awesome kingdom friendships since the start when i moved here, is a bunch where one have prayed for and desired before stepping into His awesome house besides a ministry to serve in. oh the moments of our epic "we are young" episodes are one that we never tire to mention and laugh viciously at. seeing how God has grown us and kept us close despite of our different journeys, is one that i can truly see His centeredness in all of our relationships.

to start the month with the presence of both groups is just so comforting without any hidden tension, agendas and miscommunication that one may experience in other relationships. and He definitely knows my love language which is quality and anointed time though the ones whom He has divinely placed me with. just extremely thankful for all these precious souls who i am already doing life with, and cannot wait to see what more He has to come for all of us.

what a day to end the month of august. have learnt one thing, to never give up even when you hit a delay or road block which may cause a temporary detour. though it may take slightly longer, you will eventually get there.

going to apply that very same thing to all areas of my life, especially the ones where i may find lacking or weak at. have learnt to sometimes do the opposite and go beyond the "i feel like" moments and emotions.

the fruit for this month comes in many forms, and some are even wake up calls that pertains to one's character, heart, gifting and new journey that He is taking me on -- and one that does not involve anyone but Him who graces, refines and loves unconditionally.

He told me something during worship before an awesome heartfelt message from Ps. D, and something that one was blown away and thinking "wow, really God?" assuming in my limited mind space that this was the best as it is -- but sure He has greater and better installed already.

seasonal is one word i use to be so afraid of, but now, it is slowly getting in there with an increased amount of excitement on what He is going to do next. however and wherever and whoever, i know and i know and i, know, that is going to be good.

because the heart of the Father always wants the best for His children. and though we may question and pull out the "sure or nots" (in singaporean accent), He gently looks at us, and not only tell us "sure" but shows it as well.

"so yes Lord, i am ready for the new to come in all areas of my life. surprise me once again like You always do, and i shall never hold back. though yes there will be times of doubts and fears, but Your love shall reassure and bring constant comfort knowing You have the very best for me at heart.

as i am slowly shedding my old wine skin, You are progressively putting on a new one."
