(7)

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him

. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the smiles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach ... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

It is human nature to worry… and we do it so often! Can you say that at this current point in your life you have nothing that you are worried about? Perhaps not.

Christ knows that we are prone to worry and be anxious about our futures, but as the One in deepest communion with the Father, He knows the Father’s heart for us. Knowing how much God loves us, Christ knows with absolute certainty that there is no need for any of us to worry.

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” Matthew 6:28-0 3

The Father’s meticulous and deep care extends not just to us, but to His Creation around us. Just look at the flowers – they bloom with grace and ease, adorned with so much beauty. If God put in so much effort into the beauty of a flower, how much more will He take care of us?

If you ever doubt the extent of God’s love and care for you, look to the flowers of the field and know that He cares more than you will ever fathom.

✨“And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Immediately they left their nets and followed him.”Matthew 4:19-20 VES✨

When Jesus called Simon Peter and Andrew to follow him, their response was immediate - without hesitating to pack up or take anything with them, the two men left behind their nets and followed after Jesus.

As fishermen, the nets symbolised their livelihoods - comfortable, certain, perhaps all they had ever known. To step away from their source of stability and follow after Jesus was not an easy thing to do. Yet, they obeyed. Perhaps it was the divine authority that Jesus spoke with, but it takes two hands to clap, and the obedience of the men also reflected the state of their hearts – open, willing, ready to say yes to God.

How about us? What is the state of our hearts? Would we behave in the same way as Simon Peter and Andrew if Jesus called us to come?

Perhaps there are things today that Jesus is calling you to step out into. To be bold and brave and leave behind what has been comfortable to you, and instead, step out onto the waters with Him.

There isn’t much we can be certain of in this world, but there’s one thing that will stand the test against time – our God is faithful. He is worthy of our trust and worthy.

As we reach the midpoint of the year, I wonder how many of us are feeling like we’re running on empty.

Maybe we started a new job, a new school, or a new life stage at the beginning of the year. But after the initial excitement, the mundaneness of life has kicked in once more. “I’m tired”, “jaded”, “can’t wait for the next public holiday”might be sentiments we’re feeling.

Life wasn’t meant to be smooth sailing. Often times, it can get really hard. But while we weren’t meant to cruise through life with little suffering, we were meant to go through life with a great measure of joy, especially within the sufferings.

How?

“… Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, He gave us a promise – He promised that though He was leaving physically, He would send the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts and be our guide.

If we would only believe, truly believe, in Him and open our hearts to receive His Spirit, the same power that emptied the grave would live in us. It would fill us with joy and we would bear much fruit.

Are you tired of running on empty, trying to get through life on your own strength? Jesus bids you to come today and place your trust in Him. Let His Spirit fill your heart and renew your strength. Let Him take you by the hand and be your guide.

07/05/2024

We often think of God as a passive God. In the absence of pillars of fire and His audible voice thundering from the heavens, it’s hard to tangibly see that God is still present if we aren’t looking or paying attention to His gentle whispers of love.

When we stray away and when we forget God, we may think that God is just passively watching from the side, letting us do our own thing until we fall and come crawling back to Him.

But that’s not who God is. He’s not a God who is passive.

Our God is a God who runs towards us. He leaves the 99 to find the one. He chases after us and longs for our hearts. He does not sit by ambivalently when we stray from Him.

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6

His goodness and love follows after us like a shadow. Over and over again, He will keep drawing us back to Him, until we realise that His warm embrace is where we were really made to be in.

Have you been running away from God? Come home. He’s been running after you, so all you need to do is to turn around and be met by His loving gaze and open arms.

02/05/2024

You may soon come to realise if you haven’t already that nothing in this world lasts for long. Change is the only constant, and it’s not completely possible to place your security and hope in the things of this world. Whether your money, your loved ones, or even your own health and life – all these things are not promised each day. At a blink of an eye, your entire life as you know it could change.

So what do we do amidst such uncertainty? What do we hope in if there is nothing we can trust?

This question brings to mind the chorus of a popular hymn…
“On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand”

In a world where everything is sinking sand, the only One we can hope in is truly Christ. He is the only thing that will stay steadfast no matter the circumstances that we find ourselves in.

This is what the psalmist was trying to get at in Ps18:2
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

God is our unshakeable rock we can stand on, even as the world around us shakes each day. He has promised to be our refuge and protector, so let us not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.

”Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.“ Psalms‬ ‭63‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬

In Psalm 63, the psalmist, David, came to an important realisation – nothing else satisfies except God. The very love of God is better than life itself! Nothing comes close to the freedom that comes from being loved by our Heavenly Father.

Knowing that we are so dearly loved and so precious to Him leads us to the most obvious response – to praise! We praise with our lips, with our hands, with our bodies, all day, every day, as long as we live.

After all, the life we have is not our own, but it is a gift given to us by our Maker, who loves us more than we will ever know. Through the good times and the bad, may His praises be ever on our lips!

“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Saviour.” Habakkuk 3:17-18

As Christians we live counter-culturally, seeing the world with upside down lenses.

We know that the last will be first and the first shall be last, and we know from the beatitudes that the most broken and persecuted people are deeply loved and treasured by God.

So when the world before us crumbles and fear sweeps across the nations, we do not fear.

As Paul says, we are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

That is how joy still lives in us even in the darkest of times – we take hold of a greater hope and look towards eternity. We take joy in the knowledge that God saves us from the brokenness of this world.

Truly, with Him by our side, there is nothing to fear.

It can be difficult to feel like rejoicing these days. The world seems darker and more broken than ever with tensions rising and wars abounding. Every other day we hear news of layoffs, illnesses, and pain. These are the groanings of an imperfect world.

Yet, Paul instructs us in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” For Paul to repeat the instruction to rejoice is a call for us to pay close attention.

To be Christian is to be filled with hope. And this hope allows us to rejoice greatly, even when we are faced with our worst fears.

Our Maker loves us more than we know. He has promised to take care of us and to walk with us through this life. And so we will rejoice – yes, we will rejoice! For we are never alone, and the One who fights for us has already won the victory.

”Your unfailing love fills the earth…” Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭64‬‬‬

Human love can be fickle – it ebbs and flows over time and sometimes struggles to remain alive. Love is sweet, but when there is so much uncertainty tied to it, it can also become a great avenue of pain.

Wouldn’t it be great to trust and be loved by a love that we could be sure of?

What if we told you that unfailing love exists…

Love came down in the form of a person, and His name is Jesus.

His love for us led Him to the cross, where He took on all of our sins, while we were still sinners, and died in our place

This love was not contingent on us being “good enough” to deserve it… it was given freely even though we were so undeserving.

The love God has for us never fails. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

How blessed we are to be loved so radically and completely ❤️

When the world and all of its brokenness, injustice, and sorrow weigh your heart down, what do you do?

Maybe mindlessly scroll on social media, binge-watch a show, or throw yourself into any other activity to distract yourself?

But when the distraction comes to an end and you have to face reality again, the emptiness in your heart lingers all the more.

Perhaps there is a better way.

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!“ Psalm 119:310

As the psalmist has discovered – the word of God is sweet. As we read and taste its sweetness, it becomes a balm to our bitter and jaded hearts.

So even before the words of the world leave us bitter, take on the sweet words of God each and every day. Let them nourish and equip you to face whatever may come your way!

In times of suffering, it's natural to feel overwhelmed and lose hope. It can seem like it’s just us against the world and that there's no purpose to our pain. Some of us may even feel abandoned by God and contemplate giving up entirely.

However, in such times the psalmist reminds us that our comfort lies in God's word.

Despite the challenges we face, God assures us of His presence and eventual victory. Just as Jesus endured suffering and emerged triumphant, we too can find hope in God's promises.

Though the world may seem to be winning, we can trust that God is in control and will fulfill His promises to us.

So, amid suffering, hold onto God's promises. Trust that He is with you and find comfort in knowing that He will never abandon you. Even if physical death comes, eternal life awaits those who trust in Jesus. Keep your hope alive, for victory is assured with God.

30/03/2024

As we find ourselves in the quiet pause of Easter Saturday, sandwiched between the anguish of Good Friday and the jubilant celebration of Easter Sunday, we may feel a sense of waiting. It's a day marked by anticipation, uncertainty, and perhaps even doubt.

Isaiah 26:3 offers us a beautiful promise amidst this waiting. It speaks of perfect peace for those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in the Lord. However, perfect peace isn't the absence of chaos or trouble; rather, it's the presence of God's unwavering assurance in the midst of it all.

Think of the disciples on that first Easter Saturday. Their world had been in shambles after the events of the previous day. Their Lord, whom they had followed and loved, lay in a tomb. Confusion, fear, and grief undoubtedly clouded their minds.

Yet, in the midst of their waiting, they had the promise of Christ's words echoing in their hearts: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19 ESV).

Their steadfastness wasn't born out of their own strength or understanding but from their trust in the One who had promised them peace. And just as Christ fulfilled His promise on Easter Sunday, so too does He fulfil His promises to us today.

As we reflect on Easter Saturday, let's hold fast to the truth that our God is a God of promises fulfilled. Whatever season of waiting or uncertainty we find ourselves in, may we anchor our minds steadfastly on Him and trust in His faithfulness.
In that trust, we can find perfect peace, knowing that He is with us, working all things together for our good and His glory.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,
In the quietness of this Easter Saturday, help us to trust in Your promises. When uncertainty clouds our minds and waiting weighs heavy on our hearts, grant us the grace to anchor ourselves in Your faithfulness. Fill us with Your perfect peace, reminding us that You are with us always, even in the midst of our waiting.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

29/03/2024

Thank God it’s Friday! A day many eagerly anticipate each week, so much that it has its own special acronym. But among all Fridays, there’s one that stands out which is Good Friday.

However, what makes Good Friday so good? It’s not just about Jesus’ crucifixion, but the significant impact of His sacrifice, symbolising an unconditional love for every person throughout history. Good Friday is the ultimate act of love, where Christ took on all the sins of the world, offering us a path to eternal communion with God.

Some overlook why Good Friday is necessary. It’s not just about false accusations against Jesus, but also God’s decision to become human, to live among us, and endure a brutal death out of love. Through Christ’s sacrifice, we not only inherit His grace but also escape eternal punishment. Good Friday reconciles us with God.

But despite God’s immense love, He detests sin and demands justice. Good Friday provides the means for reconciliation through the cross, restoring our relationship with God and justifying us as if we had never sinned.

That’s what makes Good Friday so good because we know we have been set free from the bo***ge of sin.

So, this Good Friday, may we grasp the goodness of the events that unfolded, giving “good” a new, eternal significance. And perhaps we can remember another meaning to TGIF!

Thank God it’s Good Friday!

Solomon was a wise and very wealthy king of Israel - just to illustrate how wealthy and glorious Solomon was

1 Kings 10 says that the weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents, which is approximately 23000kg. He had 1400 chariots and 12000 horses, and he made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones. King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.

Yet God says that the glory of Solomon, cannot compare to how He has clothed the wildflowers in the field.

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!“ Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭ ‬‬‬‬‬‬

And if God has clothed and crafted the flowers so intricately and beautifully, even though they wither so quickly, how much more will he care for us and love us?

God knows our worries and our needs, and we need to have the faith and assurance that He will provide for us. But how can we build that trust and confidence?

Verse 31 in Luke 12 says, “But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.”

Seeking God’s kingdom means putting God first, being obedient to His commandments, and walking faithfully with Him. As we walk closely with Him and abide in Him, we will begin to feel the peace and love of God and be assured that God is indeed working in our lives and directing our every step.

And so perhaps it’s really that simple. The fears and worries we have about our lives can all be surrendered to our loving God as we seek Him first. As we seek Him first, we will find renewed strength each day to continue pressing on. As we seek Him first, He will reveal to us His plan and purpose for our lives.

So don’t be afraid or worried, but walk confidently into the future, knowing that God goes before us, goes behind us, and is with us.

Let us enter Easter week by remembering the significance of the cross. It's not just about chocolate eggs, but the ultimate sacrifice and boundless love. 🙏🏼

Pause to reflect on the cross—a symbol of sacrifice, redemption, and unwavering love. This sacred time, known as Holy Week, encapsulates the culmination of Jesus’ earthly journey, marked by touching events like His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the cleansing of the temple, the institution of the Lord’s Supper, and ultimately, His crucifixion and death.

In the midst of our daily lives, may we journey alongside Jesus, allowing His sacrifice to touch our hearts deeply. Let's embrace the essence of Holy Week, where we witness unparalleled love and grace intersecting with human frailty. This Easter, may our reflections on the cross ignite a renewal of faith and a sense of gratitude for the immeasurable gift of redemption. 🌿

”Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.“ Matthew 5:8 NIV

Remaining pure in a broken world that does not know God is not an easy feat. Our commitment to purity may often be met with ridicule and scorn.

Going to church instead of using that time to study for your exam? How silly. Refusing a lucrative job offer because God said no? You must be mad.

Choosing God over the world will not make sense to many. But your desire to honour God above all else is never wasted and never goes unnoticed by God.
What have you given up for the sake of your faith? God sees all of it. And He is pleased.

The more you choose Him and seek Him first, the more you will realise that He is all you need. Every need will be provided for, and you will see God working in every area of your life – simply because you have let Him!

To the one struggling to stay pure, let this be your encouragement to keep on keeping on. God sees your efforts, and He loves your heart. Keep choosing Him! Keep your heart pure as your act of love and obedience to Him.

🏃‍♂️ Pre-Order Now: "Run Well" Tee! 🏃‍♀️
Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with Unlabelled Run as part of our "One Million Tee" initiative!

We are honored to collaborate with Unlabelled Run and stand in solidarity with the 'unlabelled movement', underscoring that labels do not matter but people do. Every ‘labelled’ individual, with sufficient support and encouragement, can aspire to be a significant contributor to society. Hence encouraging those burdened by labels to embrace resilience and cast off the judgments imposed by others.

Inspired by the Unlabelled Run, this tee embodies the strength and determination to confront life's challenges. Featuring a Marathon Bib, we have replaced the race number with the word 'unlabelled.' Underscoring the message of rejecting stigma and discrimination, championing the Unlabelled Movement. You can now pre-order our "Run Well" T-shirt supporting the Unlabelled Movement and receive it in early April.

Our Story

“Company Motto: We love because He first loved us.” One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the smiles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach ... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. [source: internet]
