The power of words. They can build and yet break a person. They can heal and yet destroy. They can bring happiness and sorrow. They can cause love and hate. They have positive and negative sides. So why am I experiencing only the negative ones these days?

Sam Kuma was preaching in our church today again. He is a regular speaker. There were 2 things that he talked about which touched my heart. One is on good friends and the other is on doors. I shall talk about the doors here. Imagine Jesus is a guest in your home. You will show Him the prettiest and nicest places - the living room, the kitchen, the hall, the rooms perhaps. There will be at least one room that you do not want Him to see. Cos you know it is filthy. It is dark. It holds your deepest secrets. It is a room you do not want your Distinguished Guest to see cos it is not nice. This is not the first time I hear this illustration. At this point, I thought to myself, "Well, there are many rooms I do not want Jesus to open and see. My skeletons in the closet." A gentle voice in me seemed to say, "My dear child, I know what's behind those doors, even without opening. Yet, I still love you. Yet, I still want to come and stay with you." God is universal, yet He chooses to stay in my heart. Yes. Jesus loves me, whether I like it or not, whether I love myself or not. (This is a catchphrase of one of my fav preachers.) He knows me inside out. I don't have to hide. Thank You, Jesus. I love You and I want to put a smile on Your face everyday.

Yours Truly
~~~JING ER~~~
*Just an ordinary girl made extraordinary by God*
*Interestingly and uniquely created*
*Never fail to be amazed by God's love, grace and mercy*
*Going on a journey to become the woman God's created me to be*
*Everytime I am lost, I know His love will lead me home*
*Refreshed whenever I turn to Him*
Favourite Poem
Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
