“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
PSALM 46:10
What could we learn from Job of Uz?
Life is just full of experiences that could fill a person with so much suffering. Sickness. Poverty. Death. Depression. We all go through suffering at some point in our lives and we all deal with it differently. What could be a slight scratch for one could be an anguish for another. It is suffering justContinue reading “What could we learn from Job of Uz?”
Kapow, to my fears!
Imagine the bucket of tears from wounded feelings that I have helped mend just because children thought there could only be one Elsa at any given time.
Self-denial and self-love: a balancing act
Self-love, I suppose, must precede self-denial. When you are less forgiving of others, it could be because you are less forgiving of yourself. When you expect others to be perfect, it could be because, you yourself make no room for mistakes. When you find it hard to love others, it could be because you find it hard to love yourself. How we are towards others is a reflection of how we are towards ourselves.
When praying becomes difficult
I do find praying to be very difficult at times. There are days when I am quite not eager to meet Him. It could be the flesh being weak. It could be because life, at times, I feel is not fair.

What does God say about our self-image?
It is very natural for human beings to need to belong or to be recognised but with billions of people in the world, who would actually want see you? You have BTS to contend with, brother.
Fear and its snowball effect
2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that we can do it “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control”. Having taken that first step without fear of the future, without any self-doubt, always, we are taken to the second one, the third one and eventually, somewhere else, very far, with our mighty God on our side.
Martha, Mary and the caterpillar room
Dave Canovas When we are like Martha, we often tend to feel that time is running out. We often feel that life becomes an emergency situation. In that sense, we tend to miss out what really matters in a particular moment. Humour does have a place in the kindergarten where I work. When things getContinue reading “Martha, Mary and the caterpillar room”
How can I teach Christian values in a nonsectarian organisation?
