By His Wounds.

Isaiah 53:5

He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed

He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed

We are healed by Your sacrifice
And the life that You gave
We are healed for You paid the price
By Your grace we are saved
We are saved

He was pierced for our transgressions
And crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed

We are healed by Your sacrifice
And the life that You gave
We are healed for You paid the price
By Your grace we are saved
We are saved

He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed
And by His wounds, by His wounds

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Honey to my mouth...

I met Audrey for our second follow up lesson today. On the outward, there was nothing spectacular about today's meet, nothing mind blowing; I would say its norm. However, on the inside of me, there was a stir. As I was teaching Audrey the basics to Christian living, I benefited so much from it. I gained new insights to the verses that I had constantly quoted in my prayers and even to new believers. I would say its RHEMA. I saw the light to "when we anyone is joined with Christ, he is a new being; the old is gone and the new has come" (2 Cor 5:17). For years, it was a head knowledge, today it was unscripted in my heart. "When anyone is joined with Christ" we are 'together' with Him. That union brought forth so much privileges:-

1. An abundant life
2. Freedom from the bondage of sin. We could now say 'NO' to temptation.
3. Co heir with Jesus and heir of God. WOW! What riches we have!!!
4. We are made new; brand new beginning with God. Brand new life. True living.
5. Christ lives in us cos now we are ONE with HIM. We are joined together.
Just recalling from the book of Romans that says "...NOTHING can separate us from the LOVE of God." NOTHING!

All these were running in my head when we were discussing about the verse this morning. It was really like honey to my mouth. It tasted so good. Yummy.

As I was teaching, I recalled how I would feed this neighbor of mine when he was a baby and I felt like eating his porridge cos it seemed so good, he was savoring every bit of it. I didn't of course! In case some of you might guess otherwise. Today, I felt the same as I was 'feeding' Audrey with the word of God. It seemed so tasty as I was giving it to her. I was just glad that the Lord has prepared for me a portion of what Audrey had. The word of GOD. Yummy.

I love them to bits...

Everyone needs a Pat on their shoulders.

Recently my lappy crashed. Lost all my data and yup ALL. Went to Funan to pick up my empty shell on Sunday. I was super tired. I was just the 5th in line but I had to wait for 1hour 15mins before I could see my lappy after the week's separation. Because of that wait, I met this mid-fifties lady who was sitting beside me. She was the 6th in line. We exchanged a few smiles and I soon began a conversation with her. She told me she was picking up her daughter's lap top and that she was a widow. She went on to share how she single-handedly brought up her seven children ever since her husband's death 12 years back. Her youngest being 12 years old now, she said life is very much better now and she thanked God for it.

" I was a dad in the night cos I had to work night shifts and a mum in the day..."

Aunty told me that with tears in her eyes. I told her that she is one amazing woman. I couldn't imagine how life was like for her when her children were all still young and solely dependent on her for money, love, care, companion, support etc...

I could not help but to put my arms around her and told her how brave and strong she was.

I then, collected my lap top and initially wanted to take a cab home but the wait for just too painful. After 30mins, I decided to walk to the train station and head home on a MRT. As the train reached Tiong Bahru, a young couple got in with their two really lovely kids. I would say one was about 2 half and the other 4. As soon as the mother settled down in her seat, both the parents got to work. They brought out the milk bottles and started making dinner for the young one. After which , dad settled the older one down as she was getting impatient while waiting for her share. They alighted at Clementi and throughout that short 20 over minutes, they did a whole bunch of amazing things. They fed them, changed them, coaxed them and even taught them. WOW!

With these 2 pictures that the Lord had shown me, I can't help but to think of a couple of parents in our church who really needed an encouragement as they were handling tough kids. I mean, its already tough bringing up those who are normal so what more to say those who are autistic, ADHD etc. I gave thanks for parents of such who really love their children for who they are. They braved the storms and risked their lives for their own children. I salute them.

When I reached home, Dad heated up the soup for my hungry stomach and I can;t help but to share with him all that had happened to me as I made my trip home. Dad listened attentively and I told him how I appreciated both mummy and him for looking after all of us these years. Dad just smiled. :)

Has anyone told you that your parents are parents for the first time? Do give them a pat on their shoulders for who you are today. :)
