But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this
all-surpassing power is from God and
not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)

Test our hearts

It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. [Deut 13:4]

Who Am I

Hello, it's my night shift week and i realised the sleep cycle is a little distorted. Thank God for a good first night at work, began in turbulence, but it progressed to a peaceful and wonderful night shift.

Would like to share this song from Casting Crown: Who Am I



Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done.
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours, I am Yours.

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done.
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours.

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done.
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours, I am Yours, I am Yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours.




It's never by works that you're saved, it's by grace we have been saved, through faith - that is not from ourselves, but the gift of God, so that no one can boast. May we truly be made alive in Christ all over again, because of what He had done on the Cross, and also because we're God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to live in His perfect will today so that we will be most satisfied when we are walking in His will.

We often think that we are unworthy of God's love. Sometimes, we even lose the assurance of our salvation because of the works of our hands - we are always doing things for our own benefits and not others; we only care about the fleeting joy and put our joy on others' sufferings; we only want quick fix and as a result we resolve to many solutions our human brain can think of, forgetting who we are - children of God, and thus in problems it's not the solutions that we need to look for but God our Lord, who is sovereign and always having the good and perfect will for His children. 

What's the will of God for you today?

It is for you to know Him, realise the need for Him in your life through your setbacks and problems, and surrender the lordship of your life to Him. Only then can you be reconciled with God,  restore your original identity as His precious child, carry His purpose in life and be led by the Holy Spirit in all things.
