Paul’s letter of joy from the prison (Adapted from Ps Samuel’s sermon 13/10/24)
Ps Samuel shared that Paul most likely wrote Philippians in a Roman prison. He had founded the church in Philippi during his second missionary journey. His third journey is marked with many conflicts, false accusations from religious leaders, persecution, court cases, imprisonment and it is in this setting Paul is writing this chapter.
I am currently writing “12 years in the prison”, a Christian book reflecting my own personal journey. Like some, I have been trapped in my own “metaphoric” prison with many hurts and scars from the battle that it was. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. We prayed and believed God had wanted me to enter a certain business in China. We were sure God had sent a certain mentor to guide me. His heart was good initially, but later his heart changed, had mistresses and did many awful things which left me in financial ruin.
Transformation
It was in the darkness of the “prison” I had to search deep as to why God allowed all these to happen. I was in chains financially, I was hidden from my friends in shame. God hid me.
When God chooses to hide you for a time, He is preparing you for a greater purpose. God hid Joseph in a prison before he came to the palace. He hid Moses in the desert for a third of his life before he led the people out of Egypt. God hid Elijah at Cherith before his great life contribution at Carmel.
God hid David in the mountains, running in and out of caves from Saul, before he was recognized as king. God hid Paul for three years in Arabia after his conversion, before he became a missionary.
Ever since the road to Damascus, Paul transformed into the greatest missionary and evangelist. His mission was to the gentiles and legend has it he spent 3 years in Arabia preparing for ministry – dedicating himself to study, prayer and meditation.
My 3 years in Arabia
I was transferred to Singapore to work for a year in 1999. It was a tough year for me as I had to come back on weekends to attend lectures and exams in KL on 2 out of 6 weekends for my executive MBA program (University of Hull-HELP). By the grace of God I managed to be the Best Overall Student for the program.
In Singapore I joined Hope of God during the weekends I was present on the island. They used my company apartment for care group meetings and I was water baptized in East Coast Park before being transferred back to the KL office.
Once back I joined Renewal Lutheran Church (RLC) in the year 2000 and for three (3) years chewed through like 4 Christian books per week, attended all the bible classes and Deeper Life Seminars. I didn’t socialize or go out but after work, I put in solid 4 hours of bible studies each night in my room. I had a spiritual hunger. Like Paul I had my three (3 )years in Arabia. Life was good and fun, just had to learn more about the Bible and the way He talked. But it was all theory and head knowledge. But I had no grit and steel in me. I had not been tested.
Test to Testimony
Indeed after a series of successful side ventures, I went to do my own trading and consultancy business in Malaysia full-time. I was supplying sheep, deer placenta and other supplements to direct selling companies in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. But after that I met a man who brought my business to China. The mismanagement and misuse of the funds collapsed everything.
Why did God allowed it?
I believe like Paul said “for the furtherance of the gospel”. When trouble came I wanted to exit the world, run away from everyone. But God had a special minister (Pastor Charles Popson, a pastor praying for me at Grace Assembly PJ, and now has planted Greater Glory Rehoboth Center in Manchester) who has been praying for me since 2007. God made sure I had someone to lean on for prophetic guidance till today.
I chose God through the uncertainties and turbulence. That was the only choice as even my family looked at me in disdain. It was for over twelve (12) years, hence the book “12 years in the prison”. God is now transforming my life, but life is never linear nor is His restoration. There are still many up and downs. I still face lots of obstacles in my businesses. I had a relationship with someone this year but she left without giving a reason except that she feels she is not ready. Yes she is not a Christian but I do not doubt our paths were meant to cross.
I am not ashamed of the gospel, nor am I ashamed of the humiliation I went through, for it’s the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who has seen my transformation and how God is restoring me. I believe my businesses will go to China again but this time with me in the driver’s seat.
Whatever unfolds as Paul said “however, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace (Acts 20:24).
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21). We may lose everything soulish, but in the process gain everything spiritual and eternal.
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Paul’s Chains Advance the Gospel
12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,[b] that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[c] and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14 And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d] 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
Life Worthy of the Gospel
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[e] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

We are at war!
We are not in tribulation but we are at war! We are at the time of the unveiling of the red horse.
"When He opened the second seal
I heard the second living creature saying,
'Come and see.'
And another horse, fiery red, went out.
And it was granted to the one who sat on it
to take peace from the earth,
and that people should kill one another;
and there was given to him a great sword."
(Revelations 6:3-4)
On October 1, Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at Israel, the biggest missile attack on a nation. In another attack on September 29, Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and others in Lebanon. The Bible has a lot to say about Lebanon which is symbolized by Tyre then Sidon and now it is called Beirut. Tyre was a highly esteemed place for ship building.
Ezekiel 26-27, God judged Tyre and in chapter 28 it even says there are some satanic forces…..wanting to be like God… Doesn’t that sounds a bit like Lucifer?
Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you,
The most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor.
8 They shall throw you down into the Pit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas (Ezekiel 28).
Lebanon was once a Christian majority (80%) nation like a lot of the Middle East countries. Persia now modern day Iran was friendly to Israel. Esther became queen over Persia. But we just saw them launched 181 missiles into Israel.
Israel will surely respond…and this will be bad for Beirut as God will devour it by fire (verse 4). If there is any time for a nuclear attack it is probably in the next month or two. A war will come soon enough.
Israel Defended Against Enemies (Zechariah 9)
The burden of the word of the Lord..
3 For Tyre built herself a tower,
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out;
He will destroy her power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire (Zechariah 9:3-4).
Iran sends hundreds of millions to fund these Hezbollah terror cells. Indeed verse 3 reads “heaped up silver like dust and gold like the mire of the streets”.
When nations gang up against Israel, the Lord says He is going to show His justice. He will show mercy and compassion to both sides. No one likes war and we are not taking sides as God loves both the Arabs and Jews, but we can’t prevent God’s judgement. God’s justice and holiness is being revealed. People think there are no God or that He is asleep. His active Hand and judicial power is now manifested and He will not allow all these acts of terror.
Iranian leader Khamenei says “Israel will not last long” yesterday at his sermon. He urged nations from “Afghanistan to Yemen and from Iran to Gaza and Yemen” to be ready to take action against the enemy, and praised those who had died doing so. He will soon have to eat his own words. Those words are going to get judge. His regime may not last long. The Bible says “out of your mouth I will judge you” (Luke 19:22) Nasrallah the leader of Hezbollah was gloating that he will defeat Israel and then a bunker busting bomb eliminated him 60 feet deep.
Now Ashkelon and Gaza are watching to see if Hezbollah going to win. They will be fearful when they see Israel blow them up in flames. Verse 5 says the king shall perish from Gaza. Much of Hamas leadership have fled from Gaza and placed on the wanted list.
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited (Zechariah 9:5).
A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod (verse 6). No one wants to hear this, not even the Jews or Arabs. So what is this mixed race? It’s the Christians, a multiethnic group of believers. Arab Christians, Middle East Christians who have been persecuted and displaced. They are even persecuted in refugee camps where they run to. The bible talks about a place for the mixed race in Judah which includes Gaza. The only way for Israel to have peace is to have a friendly neighbour. You can’t have peace when you have a hostile neighbour. We the Christians love the Jews, love the Bible and will never attack Israel. We also love the Arabs and want to save the persecuted Arab Christians.
“A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines (Zechariah 9:6).
The Bible is true and coming to pass.

Beloved of God, Child of God
Today was an occasional day that I went for church service. With recent breakup & setbacks I carry a pensive mood of melancholy. Hence today’s message by Ps Alex in TNCC was timely and reminding where I stand as a son of God in relation to God the Father. He expounded from the passages on Jesus’ baptism and Jesus in the wilderness.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17).
I grew up alone in Perth at the age of nine (9), and grew up having lots of fears and insecurities right into adulthood as I didn’t have the love from a family, the assurances and security that a family brings. Those days there were no mobile phones or Whatapp and very few Asians in the boarding school. My parents called me once a month and I came home once a year. I came home for good at the age of twenty six (26) with many lingering insecurities.
I went to a private school and Bible studies were part of the school curriculum. I knew the Bible but I didn’t know God till I worked in Singapore at the age of 30. I began to learn that “I am a son of God, that I am His beloved and that God was pleased with me”. Exactly what the Bible says.
TESTS & TRIALS
Just as Jesus was led to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil immediately after His baptism, my life began to fall apart few years after being serious in the things of God.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple (Matthew 4:1-4).
Jesus was vulnerable as he was hungry after fasting forty days and forty nights. I too have many vulnerable spots. The devil said if you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. I ask myself since I am the son of God, why so many things are often wrong in my life. I have doubts on the promises that God gave me. Did God really promise to give me a wife? Did God really promised to raise me up as an entrepreneur?
The devil try to sow doubt in Jesus as he did with Adam and Eve. Did God really say???
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1).
One of the greatest challenges during our broken seasons is the voice of doubt. It’s the deception of the enemy. The whispers that say we are unwanted and forgotten. I felt isolated and discouraged. When we carry God’s love within us even in hardship or hurt by someone, our kindness becomes the greatest gift we can offer in response. The test and trials are not signs of God’s absence, but His active presence in preparing us for greater things. He is not just removing the impurities in us and stripping away what no longer serves us, but He is revealing the treasure within us which is Him.
Yes our greatest treasure is Him. As Ps Alex declared;
a. I am a son of God: its not a master-servant relationship, but He sees you as his beloved. It’s a blood relationship and we are joint heirs with Christ.
b. I am His beloved: The love He pours on us is not inferior to the way He loves Jesus. In fact He sent Jesus to the cross to pay for our sins. I too must endure, take up and carry my cross.
c. God is well please with me: Yes a lot of promises of God have yet to manifest, but I can rest assured that the same God that took Joseph from the pit to the palace is working on my life without ceasing.
Tempting God
Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test. Matthew 4:5-7
The second temptation that Jesus endured that Ps Alex shared was to tempt and test God. When things go wrong as they often do, we blame God. But like Job, I must not curse and blame Him. Every chosen one goes through a season of brokenness before a season of breakthrough follows. Maybe meet a few wrong ones, before the right lady comes. Praise and worship Him instead! Its His way of drawing me closer. Praise that comes from a broken heart, a heart that’s been through the Refiner’s fire is a powerful act of worship.
Like Jesus I don’t want to ask God for me to be spared from sufferings but instead that God’s name be glorified through it. I want to come out stronger at the other end. Ps Alex shared that the third Jesus faced was temptation of the flesh.
Temptation of the flesh
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. (Matthew 4)
Naturally we will have our desires and there is nothing wrong to admit that. Looking back in the past years at myself, our fleshly desires are usually self-seeking. We need recognition, chase after fame, or we are after security other than which God provides. Let’s be honest. When I started out working, there were a million and one ambitions in my heart and what I was to achieve. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). Never compromise on God's principles and righteousness to gain wealth and fame.
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever (1 John2:15-17).
Do not lust after material things. If we are blessed with wealth then it's great to be a vessel to build God's kingdom. Naked we come, naked we go, for there are no pockets in a shroud.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).
Yes I need to take heart. The pain is still there O Lord. The road ahead is still foggy but I am not alone as God and my guardian angels are there to guide me. My story is being crafted by the Hands that guided Joseph. The present pain will one day give way to a future filled with God’s promises. My story is not finished yet. God is still writing it and the best chapters are yet to come.
Amen Yes Lord!

Embrace the lessons they bring
I too like the famous philosopher Henry Thoreau choose to “live deliberately” to front only the essential facts of life, and see what it had to teach that I could not learn, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not truly lived.
Life has a way of putting me at the right place, meeting the right person at the right time, in order to develop me into the person I am supposed to be. In this vast universe there is a divine order. As I traverse through my lonely earthly existence, my heart has been burdened with many questions. In my quiet moments of solitude, one cannot but sense there is a Great but unseen force, benevolent, ever watchful, and guiding and whispering to me through the fabrics of my dreams.
Every soul that enters my life comes with a purpose. Some come as fleeting whispers, while some leave indelible marks on the canvas of our existence. Every encounter, every soul is a step towards my higher purpose. In solitude I search deep to hear the voice of my soul, in hermit mode to silence the noise of the world so it does not crowd out my true emotions. It is in the silence of the heart where truth resides, I am now discovering the lessons each encounter brings with more clarity and insight.
Be thankful for all the relationships, for the love and for the lessons they brought. Even if there is pain and confusion, find the blessings within those experiences. For it is through challenges we grow the most and discover the essence of who we are. I know God loves me unconditionally but I didn’t know I could love another person unconditionally till recently. It was a lesson I had to learn to be a better person for the next person. God is still working on me, so I need to be patient and trust His process. He is guiding me to an understanding that I need of myself and others. The answers we seek are not always immediate, nor are they always clear. Sometimes they reveal themselves in fragments with the gentle unfolding of time.
The bonds of the soul are eternal. Despite physical absence, they are interconnected in the spiritual world and the vibrations between souls is ever permeating and felt. Whether the person is a lover, or a casual friend, or someone who caused me much pain, their role in my life is significant. God allowed our paths to cross to help each other grow, to challenge us and to inspire each other. Embrace the lessons they bring, the emotions they stir and the transformation they inspire within me. My journey is unique and each person I encounter is part of that journey. Some will walk with me for a time, while others will only stay in my memories, Yet each leaves a gift of wisdom and a love that contributes to my personal evolution to become the man God wants me to be. So I look back with space for gratitude in my heart. Not all connections are meant to last a lifetime. Some are brief yet the impact is profound. Perhaps I was a lesson that they had to learn, to help them get through their past hurts & insecurities, and a catalyst for their growth. Cherish all the moments and memories and I had to learn to let go without any attachment to outcomes. I trust that God will work all things for the better.
I want to embrace all the emotions as they arise and not shy away from them. I want to truly appreciate all the emotions they stir as each emotion is a gift. I want to know the intensity and depth of my feelings as I navigate the depths of my heart. And as Henry Thoreau said, “if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion”. For it is in these moments of vulnerability I discover my true self and develop true strength having known myself better.
I have reduced all these emotions to its lowest terms, and now my heart is a fertile ground for new love to blossom. I trust in God’s divine timing and that He will bring the right person in the right time. My soul now resonates an energy that can reach out to others. God has planted seeds of kindness, generosity, hope, resilience; and now they are blossoming in ways I could not have imagined. My life journey will not go unnoticed . Soon someone will want to be part of my journey. The light that shines within me will not go unnoticed.
Every step, every challenge that I have faced has led me to this moment. Someone will notice my light and want to be part of it. She will see the dreams I hold, the fears I face, and the courage I muster every day. She will be drawn to my authenticity, realness and beyond the surface to the essence of who I am. She will appreciate the full spectrum of me; the highs and the lows; not just my success but also my struggles. Everything happens in its own time. I know deep in my heart God has aligned my moments perfectly.
Amen!

Timeless, Ageless
In Genesis we read that Adam lived 930 years, Seth lived 912 years, Enosh lived 905 years, Kenan lived 910 years, Mahalalel lived 895 years, Jared lived 962 years, Methuselah lived 969 years, Lamech lived 777 years, and Noah lived 950 years. Perhaps the idea was to populate the earth and if a handful of initial human beings only lived up to 70 years of age it will take too long to do so.
Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3
Then after the great flood, in Genesis 6:3 God said that we will live to 120 years. And since we do not see people living way beyond 120 years. In fact the longest documented and verified human lifespan in modern history is that of Jeanne Calment of France, a woman who lived to age 122 years and 164 days.
Qin Shi Huang 秦始皇
The Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang desperately sought the fabled elixir of life which supposedly confers immortality. In his obsessive quest, he fell prey to many fraudulent elixirs. He visited Zhifu Island three times in his search.
In one case he sent Xu Fu, a Zhifu islander, with ships carrying hundreds of young men and women in search of the mystical Mt Penglai. They sought Anqi Sheng a thousand-year-old magician who had supposedly invited Qin Shi Huang during a chance meeting during his travels. The expedition never returned, perhaps for fear of the consequences of failure. Legends claim that they reached Japan and colonized it.
I can feel for Xu Fu. If I returned without such elixir I face execution and certain death. In many ways I am a modern day Xu Fu being the Dean of International Stem Cell Pharmacogenic Certified Institute, and also having written many books related to antiaging.
The Elixir
As I reflect upon my recent life transformation I have the answer for Qin Shi Huang 秦始皇. I find that my age is shifting backwards in a way that is almost magical, simple yet so profound. It’s true that every moment of my life is woven into the fabric of time. Every breath that I take I find myself stepping back in time that defies logic. How can my age which is tied to time be anything other than a one way street?
The truth is that the choices I am making, the way I respond to life itself and the paths I am walking is adding life to my years and reshaping the nature of my existence. Every act of kindness I show, forgiving those who hurt me and letting go of anger helps me turn back the hands of time. My spirit has become lighter, my soul becomes younger, and my entire being is now vibrant and alive. God’s light is becoming brighter in me with each passing day. He gives me a fire that never burns out and a warmth that never fades.
I believe I am not just existing but living and thriving when I live with purpose and love. The way I live makes time bend to my will and God is rewarding me with more vitality and spirit and this makes life worth living. The wrinkles of worry is being smoothed out by my new found calmness. The lines of stress are fading away as I embrace peace. The weight of the world is lifting off my shoulders as I let go of the people who serves no purpose in my life.
I am living deliberately and not just let fate determine my destiny. I want to live intentionally with a godly purpose that is unique but beautiful. To live in a way that time will respond to me in a way that is different to others and in way no one can imagine. I am not aging but growing and expanding till that I am even reversing the effects of time. The essence is that it is not how long you live, but the magical moments you share, the joy you generate and the love you give. When I live this graceful way I am stepping into a different kind of time. A time that is not measured in years, but in the richness of my experiences and the sincerity that rubs off to others whom I connect with.
Every step I take with love, every decision I take with kindness is taking me to a place where time has no hold over me anymore. I am becoming more youthful, more vibrant in energy and more connected to the very essence of the life God created me to live.
God says my journey is only just beginning. Walking in His path of light and love is changing the way I age. I am a spiritual being having a temporal earthly existence. My inner spirit is growing younger while on earth I am growing wiser, more compassionate and more in tune with His will for me. I am beginning to realize that my life is extraordinary in words that I cant describe.
My age is decreasing coz the way I live honors Him. Every time I choose love over fear and hate, every time I see the good in others I am adding life to years, not years to life. There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us. This enlightenment is healing and eternal. It is the reason why I feel more alive than say ten years ago. I am tapping into something timeless. Time is now not my enemy but my ally helping me to be the person that God intended me to be. I am not defined by my age but by the joy I create, the love I give and the light I bring into the world.
I am a miracle in motion and a testament of God’s love. My spirit is growing younger, my heart feels lighter and my soul is shining brighter than ever before. Lord Jesus thank you for defining my story, my journey, because it is a beautiful one. I will keep moving forward according to Your plans with Your love, power and purpose and time will bend to my will. God and my guardian angels are with me every step of the way, cheering me on, guiding me and and reminding me the incredible destiny ahead of me.
I am not aging but evolving to into the highest and most beautiful version of myself. The Holy Spirit is leading me to a path of transformation; of His love, renewal within, light and eternal youth. A transformation with endless possibilities, to be a blessing and to be a beacon of light in this increasingly chaotic world.
I have found the purpose of my existence and hence have become timeless and ageless. My life will not just be lived but celebrated by God. He loves me, cherishes me and leading me to a path of joy, peace and eternal life. This is my moment to savour His love and peace and to become timeless.
Nothing can stop His divine plan for my life in a world that is ruthless and tough. He is my ever presence in times of need. As he showers me with blessings all my fears and worries disappear. He turns my sorrow into joy. He is the light that shines in darkness and He will unfold all that is meant to be.

Love is a beautiful emotion
Love is complex but a beautiful emotion
It may be felt but not spoken
Hidden and not revealed
True feelings take time to express
Love is a journey with twists and turns
Ups and down
True love that is hidden will surely come to light
Everything happens for a reason
Love will eventually reveal itself
In moments of silence and separation when no words are spoken
Love often finds it purest expression
Silence clarifies love
It verifies it
Love is powerful force that shapes our destiny
When acknowledged and nurtured it can bring immense joy and fulfilment
O’ Lord give me a larger capacity to love
Give me a heart where love can flourish
Shape me to be patient and kind
I want a love that is honest, open and mutual
Make me worthy of such love
Love is complicated
But is the most rewarding experience
Love is always worth the effort, worth the wait
Am I deserving of love that is honest, reciprocated?
Lord I trust Your process
The power of Your love
To heal, to bring us closer together
I have shown my true self and vulnerability
Give me strength and courage O’Lord
As the world fades only faith, hope and love remains
But the greatest of these is love
爱情是一种复杂而美丽的情感
它可以被感受到，但不能被说出来
隐藏而不被揭示
真情需要时间来表达
爱情是一段曲折的旅程
起起伏伏
隐藏的真爱一定会被揭露
一切皆有原因
爱情最终会显露出来
在沉默和分离的时刻，当没有言语时
爱情常常找到最纯粹的表达方式
沉默澄清了爱情
爱情证实了爱情
爱情是塑造我们命运的强大力量
当爱情被承认和培育时，它可以带来巨大的快乐和满足
上帝啊，请给我更大的爱的能力
给我一颗可以让爱情蓬勃发展的心
让我变得耐心和善良
我想要一种诚实、开放和相互的爱
让我值得拥有这样的爱
爱情是复杂的
但却是最有价值的体验
爱情总是值得努力，值得等待
我是否值得拥有诚实、相互的爱？
主啊，我相信你的过程
你的爱的力量
治愈我们，让我们更亲近
我已经展现了我的真实自我和脆弱性
主啊，请给我力量和勇气
随着世界消逝，只有信仰、希望和爱依然存在
但其中最伟大的是爱
