You are the light of the world. The world badly needs courageous souls to lift and encourage those in despair. Do not give up. Be the light to inspire others.

Don't be afraid, you aren't alone. #quiettime #Go

Don't be afraid, you aren't alone.

We are fearful as more and more bad news bombarded

We are fearful as more and more bad news bombarded us each day. I know not everyone believes in God but nonetheless, here's a small encouragement to keep us going today.
While it is good stewardship to manage our life well, it's a little bit crazy when we attempt to manage the future we don't yet have. Only God knows what lies ahead. It's going to be a rough journey but trust him.

Working on this currently. I have been in a rut these days and can't draw my own art. Coloring is the only thing I can do. Like most people I am worry about the pandemic. Malaysia has been under Movement Control Order (partial lockdown) for the past 6 days. We have 1518 positive cases and 14 deaths. The graph is going steep but we hope this MCO helps to flatten the curve. My anxiety level is going through the roof and it is affecting me physically. All I can do is putting my hope in God and trust him that this whole thing is within his control.

There is a time for everything...and now is the time of fears and uncertainties. Living in this fallen world this is to be expected but fret not because Christ has overcome the world. (John 16:33)

When you pass through the waters, I will be with

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. ~ Isaiah 42:2a

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now ~ Oceans, Hillsong United

Ariel. Disney's Little Mermaid with a happy ending

Ariel. Disney's Little Mermaid with a happy ending. But I like the original story by Hans Andersen. She didn't get to marry the prince and turned to seafoam and lived among the breeze. "The first morning after he marries another your heart will break, and you will become foam on the crest of the waves.” ~ The sea witch

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." ~ Proverbs 31:25

Many women found inspiration in this verse but not me, honestly speaking, it makes me uncomfortable. How can she laugh at the days to come? Has she no worries of the future? What is her secret?
As I ponder this verse and read through the pages of my prayers, one regular theme emerged. I am plagued with fear. Fear isn't just something that I am somewhat familiar with. It is one temptation that has troubled me for as long as I can remember. As a young child, I was afraid and intimidated of people (because I sensed emotions and underlying motives). As I have grown into adulthood, my fears have become more sophisticated and heart-wrenching. Fear is a constant irritating friend that I am unable to rid off.
Intellectually I know the fact that God is in control of all facets of my life. But deep within my heart, if I am honest, I don't truly believe that. I admit I am a woman who struggles with fears regularly and is fighting for faith. I am very much in the process of learning what it means to truly fear God. I have not mastered the art of trusting him completely. But I am remembering his promise "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." So I am humbly learning and building my convictions so I too, by God's grace, can laugh at the days to come. Thankfully God is patient with me. --

"The shadows are my only companion, the darkness my friend..." Solar eclipse, ink drawing and a bad poetry.

"When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved..." ~ Gen

"When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved..." ~ Genesis 29:31a

There was no sparkle in Leah eyes. She was not the favored one. Jacob did not love her. And God noticed. "Surely my husband will love me now." (Gen 29: 32b)
First son and she waited for love. "Because the Lord heard that I am not loved." (Gen 29: 33b)
Second son and she hoped for love. "Now at last my husband will become attached to me." (Gen 29: 34b)
Third son and she still sought love from a weak man.
Through three sons, Leah desperately trying to be loved and accepted by her husband. Each birth was shadowed by grief from unrequited love. Across 4 millenia, we can feel Leah's hope sinking.
Sadly we find no recorded response from Jacob. Not even one word.
And when the fourth son arrived, Leah finally turned to God. "This time I will praise the Lord" and she named her son Judah (Gen 29: 35b). After years of discouragement, Leah found the path of contentment, that God is enough. She longed for love but God gave her more.
God saw.
God heard.
God blessed.
God loved Leah. "For it is clear that our Lord Jesus descended from Judah..." (Hebrews 7:14a)
Two thousands years after Leah lived, she was chosen to be in the lineage of Christ. From the lineage of this unloved woman, came the Messiah.

“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope i

“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you." ~Psalm 39:7

For what do you wait? For what do you hope?
You do it to live. If you give up on waiting and hoping, the pain of uncertainty, conflict, or loss will kill you.
You do it because you believe in better things and better times to come.
You do it because you have faith that this momentary suffering is preparing you for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.

You do it because you trust in the One who promised is faithful.

"Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own

"Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end." ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11

Are we alone? Are we the only universe out there? Despite technology, our views are still severely limited. The universe is vast and we are inside the fishbowl, unable to see beyond it.
What exists beyond light?
What is the shape of space-time?
Is it flat and goes on forever?
If particles can be put together in some finite ways, isn't it possible that this universe repeats itself and there exists a possibility of a parallel universe out there?
These questions of the unknown spawned from our longing for eternity. Longing that is akin to a pang of nostalgia, for times we have never experienced. And perhaps this wistfulness is like the days we are sad without knowing why or we pine for someone we have never met or places we have never been to.
Perhaps it feels like listening to some songs that make us weep with crushing regret over all the past loves we have never lost.
Perhaps it feels like a strong yearning for a sanctuary exists long before we were born, either in our mothers' wombs or even beyond. A time exists without pictures, a time even memories don't recall, just a sense of detachment from where we were before we came to earth.

There is definitely something more than this transient world. Our longing is not just woeful melancholia. We are pre-programmed with a hunger for eternity because God knows nothing in life truly satisfies. And despite the joys and vicissitudes of life, all are temporary and this world is truly not our home.

"When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the m

"When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the LORD God among the trees." ~ Genesis 3:8

We hide to protect ourselves. We build isolated walls around the things we value, good or bad, harmful or beneficial. We protect them behind those walls because we put our security in our keys and locks. We hide to protect ourselves with habits and old habits die hard, so they say. And habits become us. We don't have to stop and think anymore. This is this. What was once wrong is now right. What was once right is now tedious and uncomfortable. We can pass decades living this way because we simply just keeping the momentum on auto mode.
We hide to protect ourselves because hiding is just a fancy way of giving up. But God is a lover and never content to let us stay in mediocrity. He calls to us in subtle ways to woo us back, one way or another. And deep within our secret places, we yearn to be reunited with the Lover, spiritually prowling within our walls, restless like caged wild animals.
