Home. A peaceful home. No matter how big or small, shabby or plush, there’s no place like home. It’s a place that you get to be you. It is a place where you can feel safe; your sanctuary. Being a single parent is a challenge on its own and at times, the peace in our…
Why We Need to Make Jesus The Centre Of Our Life?
John 15 illustrates that we can enjoy many life-giving benefits as long as we understand that Jesus is the centre of our life. He is vine and we are the branches. Why do we need Him in our life and how can we benefit from this relationship? Living in Him and building our whole life…
No One’s Simple Nobody
I am nobody to you If ‘simple’ things are not shared between us What’s simple to you Is of value to me You speak for the sake of duty “Hello” and “Good morning” For the sake of courtesy But I am far more that just your nobody I’m a prized piece of jewel For in…

My Glow Is My Colour
A glow, a warm glow, illuminates from within my being as You make Your presence known to me Like kinetic energy with the ability to generate light only seen by a certain human eye An eye, that when looked into, reflects the source of that which it sees The source, the One whose eyes…
Sparrow, Pearl and Waterfall
The Lesson of the Sparrow This beautiful feather-winged creature, with a voice bigger than itself, sings out every morning. The early bird sets off to catch his worm. Dodging raindrops, soaring like a military airplane through the battlefields, this tiny music box doesn’t seem to be bothered by any obstacles around him. Swift and agile,…
