Is the day you get married the best day of your life? I recently got engaged, and there is nothing more exciting than knowing I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and that I will always have someone there for me in every area of my life. However, this… Continue reading Isa 62v5 – Best day ever
Jesus’ disciples asked him what it would be like in the last days before he returned. He said there would be “wars and rumours of wars…Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:6-7). This is a picture of our world today! But more… Continue reading 1Pe 4v7-8 – The end of the world
I had this challenging thought the other day – “In my day-to-day life, how do I live differently from someone who doesn’t know Jesus?”.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows “mighty vengeance” against Hamas“(BBC). “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Jesus – Matthew 5:44). It’s hard to comprehend these two sentences together. After the violence perpetrated on innocent people in Israel, our natural response is vengeance. But God says he is the… Continue reading Mat 5v44-45 – Not a normal love
A popular relationship advice phrase is: “Never stop dating your partner”. This points to the importance of purposefully taking time out of our busy lives to spend as much quality time with our partners as possible. Doing this will help build a stronger and more meaningful relationship. It made me think about how often we… Continue reading Pro 8v17 – Dating God
John 17 is one of my favourite chapters in the Bible. It is Jesus’ prayer to our Heavenly Father just before his crucifixion. We read Jesus’ final words just before his betrayal in the garden of Gethsemane in John 17:26 – “And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the… Continue reading Joh 17v26 – God of love
Three values that guide my life are faith, family, and freedom. While not all choose faith, and many prioritise finance or fame over family, most value freedom. Yet, can ultimate freedom exist without faith? You have the freedom to strum the strings of a guitar in any way you like, but this doesn’t mean you… Continue reading 2Co3v17 – Finding Freedom
Abraham was 100 years old when he had his first child with Sarah. What a gift.

He demonstrated complete trust in God, willing to give up what was most precious to Him as… Continue reading Gen 22:12 – Complete Trust
