'So the Pharisees and teachers of religious law asked him, “Why don’t your disciples follow our age-old tradition? They eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony.”'Mark 7:5 NLT
Burgress Park-Southwark Park. London
As I ponder on the words of Jesus:
The people honour Me with lips
But their hearts is far from Me
And in vain they worship Me
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men
Why oh why do we like imaginary boxes
The Lord our God is vast and beyond our comprehension
The Lord creates and can not be contain in a box
Yes to Jesus
Yes to Him alone -
I have come to understand that saying Yes is
Saying no to the things that pleases my flesh
And constantly adjusting my eyes that wanders around
As I continue to ponder to myself
Is the old life completely gone?
Not a chance, it creeps in slowly
Life is accustomed to and feel good moments
Life likes familiarity
Yes to Jesus
Means not walking alone
Is it easy? Of course NOT
See this week, we have showers of blessings in London
No surprise, It is always raining
Boy was I glad, I didn’t have to water my potted plants
So on Thursday no rain,
Well I checked up on my plants, the leaves are out wow
You will not believe it
I see something I did not plant
Oh dear this is not good
Weeds - I saw weeds
My eyes widely open - with questions
How did you get in here?
What does it mean?
So these weeds are sprouting from the gaps between the stones
In life as I ponder, I have gaps too
Days when I just want to look inwardly
Days when I don’t anything but me
These are the days the gaps are created
And these gaps makes me lose focus
They bring doubts and fears
They make me look with the wrong lens on
They make me think everyone is against me
As I ponder on what to do
I saw Him and all He wants is to be with me
He is part of my life
Not only when I want Him to be He should be with me all the time
Life is not easy,
the weeds will sprout when we are flourishing
When water is good and I am soaked in His word
When I am vulnerable
It is easy to be distracted
Watch and pray
Be alert always
Yes I decided not to pull all the weeds out
Well I also wanted to see what they will be like
when the time is right
I can distinguish them and pull them out
Very exciting news
For now they stay
I read up that some can be a good flower
Who knows, we will see
So looking at the weeds
In the quietness
In my own craziness
I look at the sky
The sky proclaim the work of His hands
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God
Make my eyes sparkle again
Lest my eyes wonder and fall into the trap of death
So I went for a walk - to burgess park
It is a very big park, looking at the green trees and just enjoying nature
I trust in Your unfailing love
My heart rejoices in Your salvation
I will sing the Lord’s praise
For He has been good to me
As I ponder on the words of Jesus
O LORD, You are my God
I will exalt You
I will praise Your Name,
For You have done wonderful things
Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truthIsaiah 25:1 NKJV
Southwark Park, London
Why do you look so sad? -
Gratitude cheers the heart and a medicine for the soul.
It is the little things that makes a bigger impact
Watch out for the things that directs you to the correct path
All glory belong to Jesus
Whose love for us endures forever
Whose love for us frees us from our sins
He is the Alpha and Omega
The Beginning and The End
He is the One who is,
who always was and who is still to come
He is the one that opens and no one can shut
and the one who shuts and no one can open
Worthy is His name
Worthy is the lamb that was slain
Worthy is He that is risen
Glory to the Father, for giving us such love
Glory to the Father for sheltering us
Glory to the Father for giving us everlasting life
'to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.' Jude 1:25
capture the moments the flowers blowing in the wind to create an amazing effect in the sky
O Lord, You have searched me and known me
Everything there is to know about me You know
You understand every movement of my heart and soul
You understand every thoughts before it enters my mind
You know my sitting down and my rising up
You know the path I will take before I take it
You know all my ways
Such knowledge is beyond my grasp
It is so high I cannot reach it
It is like flowers blowing in the wind
Oh how wonderful are Your ways
The depth of Your riches both in wisdom and knowledge
Is unsearchable and Your ways are untraceable
For who knows the mind of the Lord
Who has understood His thoughts
Or who have come on anything like the generosity of God
Everything comes from Him
Everything happens through Him
Everything ends up in Him
For in the beginning was the word and word was with God
Blessed be the name of the Lord forever and ever
For He is the Lord who
Reveals deep and secret things
He knows what is in the darkness
And light dwells in Him
Your words are very precious to me
I keep it close to my heart
I meditate on it
If I could count all the good things You have done
They would be more in number than the sand
When I wake up in the morning
Your grace is sufficient for the day
