"Enough"

Every year, I try to write a song to remind me of what God is saying to me as well as to "follow up on my gift of song writing". This year I had wanted to write a song about what Good Friday means to me but to no avail until today. I was fiddling on the keyboard with some progression and I had this progression that I continued playing for a few minutes. A while later, the words just flowed. It's as if my fingers and my mouth knew the burstings of my heart. The song melody and lyrics all came in an hour's time. I must say I am very happy with this composition because I know God has breathed into it.

The message of this song is to emulate Christ in the way He lived. The hardest part is to live how Christ had lived i.e how He obeyed the cross decree. He had to die there. Yet it was not a life wasted or a life that had missed out on life's best. He helped many people, He changed many lives and not one single minute of his life was shortchanged as He took the road less travelled.

IN scriptures, Jesus spoke of the narrow way, the narrow door. The narrow path is the path to God's kingdom every disciple should take. Yet the relunctance sometimes, is the fear of losing out. As I reflected upon the way Jesus lived, I know if I do not have Him. I will lose out more than I think I can ever gain. Having experienced Him as I have gone through the peaks and
valleys of life so far (13 years), I know that He is more than enough for me and He is my eternity. Nothing so far that I've gone through on this earth can compare to me knowing Him more and more.

Here's the lyrics:

Enough by Ruth Tay

Jesus Christ
Thank you for your life
Living Sacrifice
You were crucified
Jesus Christ
Help me live your life
I lay aside my pride
To know You is my prize

Chorus:
I will choose the narrow way
Take the narrow path
I won't care what people may say
You are more than enough for me
You are my eternity

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me ...

Stand Still and Let God Move

Stand Still - By The Isaacs The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now You feel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro When you're faced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you Stand still and let God move When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you Stand still and let God move Go to youtube.com search for Stand Still + Isaacs. Very beautiful song with meaningful lyrics.

Judge Not

"Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eyes, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eyes." - Matthew 7:1-5 (NASB) Otto Fong, used this principle to counter those who decided to 'judge' him because he openly shared that he is a gay. I admire his "courage" and "determination" to be who he is - he only asked for acceptance. His disclosure risked him losing his job as a teacher in the prestigious Raffles Institution whom he had been with for 8 years and also unwanted multiples of criticisms darted towards his sexual preference.
