Point of Grace...

Experiences either make or break us. How can we ensure that it always make but never break us? How do we encourage those going through tough times?
Does it help just telling them God never waste the things He has allowed you to go through?
Or maybe tell them it is but temporal and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Oh, just tell them I will keep you in prayer, brother/sister.

Will we give more?

Oh.. I can't. I have my work commitment. I am inadequate. My family needs my time. Its their fault that they got themselves into such a situation, so why bother. He/she has gone through this so many times, never learnt, he/she does not deserve any help. This person has many friends, so surely there was helped rendered. All so valid..so true.

I found comfort in this song "The Point of Grace" by Dennis Jernigarn -

When the fire of life leaves you so dry, that your eyes have no tears left to cry. When heartache leads you wondering why, wondering how you will survive.
And when you've grown too tired to run this race, find your strength is gone without a trace. when you reached that lonely desperate place. child, you have reached your point of grace.

I will meet you there, when your striving end and I will hold you there in my embrace. And you will find a place where true joy begins when you reached the Point of Grace. When you reached the Point of Grace.

When your hopes and dreams begin to fade, disappointment clouding all the plans you havemade. Feeling lonely broken and afraid, Seem so long since you seen the light of day.
When it seem life every trial you face, lead you one step closer to the place when you fall away, you reach for my embrace child you have reached the point of Grace.


Just let go and you will see. Just mighty what love can be. Child, your greatest strength is when you are weak. Looking up from your brokenness to me.

I will meet you there ....


Though all I gotten were accusation, judgements,criticisms... the Lord's assurance, comfort cheers me n led me on.... Though tough times are not nice times, they are my points of Grace.

What's Love After All??

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.1 Cor13 :4
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Cor 13:8
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'Matt 22 :39
"If you love me, you will obey what I command.
Jn 14: 15
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Jn 15:12
This is my command: Love each other.
Jn 15:17
The bible is so full of verses that about love. But what is love really? Was it all about I love you and you love me and we both feel good? Is it about I love you because you have something that I do not have, so I hope that when I love you you can give me that which I do not have? Or is it really about loving another just because God said so and I choose to do so?

I always hear others telling me if you do not love yourself no one will. Was that why God said love your neighbour as yourself??? If we do not love ourselves, then we will not be able to love others, so therefore there will not be any love because we do not have the ability to love since we can't even love ourselves. Hmmm.... what a thought.
