My Eternal Be-all and End-all

Utterly lost in this world,

For the very first time,

Didn't know where to turn or where to go,

Every time I thought I reached my destination,

It was further away,

In desperation I called out to Him,

And He showed me the way.


Minutes turned to hours, then days,

Guilt brimming in my chest,

Knowing I was wasting,

What the world was trying to buy,

Life flashed before me on a rainy day,

And I knew then that could have been the end,

But He saved me and gave me another chance.


Thought I was an open book,

So easy for anyone to read,

But like everyone I had my deceits, fears and vanities,

He knew me for who I was,

He had seen me when I was alone,

Yet He chose to love me,

Fulfilling even my insignificant desires.


Everything remaining perfect,

Just as it was meant to be,

Every trial and trouble deflected,

Covering me with His shield,

Wondered why instead of overflowing with gratitude,

Still pondering yet filling with the hope,

That nothing is or will ever be too great for Him.


Who is He?

He is the Lord Jesus Christ himself,

Who accepts me with open arms,

When I repent from my repeated sins,

Who sends people when I need them,

Who enfolds me when I feel all alone,

Who is and will be with me forevermore.


He is my light in the crisis and calm in the darkness,

My Eternal be-all and end-all.


Words can never fully hold the meaning of Jesus in my life, but through tiny aspects of how I honestly feel, I have tried my best to express how great and marvelous He is. He has done absolutely awesome miracles in my life and every day is truly a blessing. His grace and favour rests upon me even when I reek of sin and am unworthy. I do not deserve anything He has done for me, but because of who He is, He remains faithful and remains true to His unwavering love for me, a lowly sinner who needs His saving every single day. 

P.S. To anyone reading this, Jesus loves you.

Waiting on the Lord: From Restlessness to Rest

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait  on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not be faint."           Patience is a great virtue, but it has never been my cup of tea. I have always struggled to sit still or remain idle, which made it especially difficult for me to truly surrender everything into God’s control. Yet, when faced with important life choices and uncertainty about how to move forward, I realized that the Lord, who created heaven and earth, is a far better planner than I could ever be. He knows each of my days before even one comes to pass, so why not entrust my life into His capable hands?           With this realization, I decided to wait for His direction, understanding that His ways are higher than mine and that He leads us through experiences that always result in growth and learning. Waiting on the Lord, I discover...

Syncing News and Prayer

     It has been nearly four years since I last picked up a newspaper, but in the past month, I decided to take up the habit once again. This return reminded me of the reasons I had initially given it up: the hurt, the hypocrisy, and the overwhelming deluge of information that often felt more like "infotainment" than actual news. Some days, the pain and suffering depicted in the articles were so overwhelming that I struggled to finish reading. I worried that I would become desensitized, reducing extraordinary tragedies to mere phrases like "it's normal" or "that's life." In moments of despair, I turned to Psalm 55:22, which says, "Cast your burden on the Lord..." and I endeavored to do just that. A Divine Perspective      The Lord is always faithful, and He gently reminded me that each article in the newspaper represents real people—individuals for whom Jesus Christ, our Savior, sacrificed His life on the cross. Each person, whether a vic...
