Trading My Sorrow....

I came into the office with an expectant heart – anxiously waiting to hear her good news. But instead I witnessed tears of despair. She cried. My heart sank. The story meant to have a happily-ever-after ending but a sudden twist of fate occurred.

She excitedly shared her secret with me – she found companionship with a guy who is mature in everyway except his age. He is 3 years younger but he had a career ahead of him. He expressed interest in an engagement. She was delighted. I could see it in her eyes. Agonizingly, she had to obtain her parents’ approval but she was confident with the openness of her family. I urged her to share the joyous news. She agreed.

How could one not know what her child’s desires are? How can she be denied of love?

She was saddened and I was speechless. I did not know how to console her. I shared with her an e-card, encouraging her that all will be better. I was glad sense a tinge of cheer in her mail.

Here’s my prayer for her:

Heavenly Father, I commit her unto Your hands;
For You are able to give her peace of mind, joy at heart and strength at soul;
Do hear her cries.
I pray for her parents to have an understanding heart, recognizing her needs;
Supporting her in everyway.
I pray for her companion to have patient and for him to stand by her when she needs him most.
Take care of my friend, Lord.
Thank You, Lord.
IN Your most precious name I pray, Amen.

God's Will

BE JOYFUL ALWAYS;
PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS FOR ALL CIRCUMSTANCES,
FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.

1 THES.5:16-18

Each day, my heart cries out to God, pleading for His ways and will to be revealed. There is dryness in my soul - thirsting for the water of life. Knowing very well that He's my only source of love and purpose. I've not forgotten His power, greatness and almightiness but I've to admit I'm unable to comprehend His ways, for it all seems so 'silent'.

My Child,
Do not lose sight of Me, Emmanuel.
Hear my call, I am here,
Do not lose heart,
delight in Me, your Shepherd.
I hear your cries.
Recognise My comforting arms embracing you
like a mother to her child.
Do not let go of Me, I am here.
I am doing something in your life,
Obey and follow Me.

A Poetic Attempt

Cherishing your heart, in my heart
Letting this feeling bloom to its’ fullest
From the buds to the opening of petals
Giving life to the trees in the forest
No longer shying its’ secrecy
As the world is to admire such beauty
The beauty of Love,
I cherish your heart, in my heart.


Holding your hand in mine
Enveloped by this heartwarming sensation
Like rays of sun giving out light and warmth
I am grateful for this sensation of Touch
When life is born, it is one's touch
Signifying the essence of life itself
Lasting till my last breath
I hold your hand, in my hand.


Gazing at your eyes, in mine
Beyond those eyes, lies the soul
The earth moves yet two souls meet
Looking beyond the deep blue ocean
Not engulfed by mighty waves
But have welcomed the rush it brings
For you are within sight
I gaze into your eyes, in my eyes.
