How Great is He! :D


Hi dear reader and wonderful creation of the Almighty (=,

i’m Zhuo’er, your sister in Christ. This is the my first time posting an entry on the blog through which our Heavenly Father used to change the course of my life (upon reading this blog 2 years ago, i receive the calling & challenge to be enrolled in ACS(I) instead of my then dream school RJC, to serve and to encounter Him). i would like to share a portion of the vast amount of blessings that He has bestowed upon me in this little entry.

Have you ever struggled to hear from God’s? i did, still do, and probably will too. i find it difficult to hear from Him especially when i’m preoccupied and overwhelmed with the never-ending, ever-waiting, always pressing cornucopia of work. However, today i came to a deeper understanding of his love and faithfulness manifested in His ever-present messages to me (i believe His personal messages are always there for each of us, it’s up to us to recognize & receive).

After a long day, i boarded a bus and was ready to spend my time reading Bio notes. However, my eyes were drawn to the TV Mobile instead. The thing that caught my attention were the TMV Quotes in the following order:

1) The greatest virtues are ones that are most useful to other persons.
2) The one surest sign of knowledge is teaching.
3) Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
4) Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

Then the still small voice spoke clearly to my heart and mind. God actually used these quotes and brought to my remembrance relevant verses from the Bible to edify me! In essence, He challenged and encouraged me to be a blessing to others and warned me against falling into a state of self-serving propensity (Philippians 2:4) . He also reminded me to guard the joy of the Lord and do my work with good cheer knowing that it’s by His strength, for His glory and for the purpose of being a blessing to others now and in the near future. Through the last quote, God prompted me to treasure the true friendship i’ve gained in Him, and be a true friend to my friends, to be there for them when misfortunes fall upon them

Through this brief but impactful encounter, I once again realize how much God wants to speak, to fellowship and to edify me out of His loving-kindness, mercy and love. The ground is level at the foot of the Cross and we are all equal in His sight. The God Almighty who ordained the magnificent Universe at His Word is mindful of you, He cares for you (Psalm 8:3-4) !

Friedrich Nietzsche said, “God is dead”. i beg to differ, because God has shown Himself alive to me by speaking into my heart and soul with such intimacy and relevance. i sincerely pray that we’ll be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and more attuned to His voice in our daily lives, keeping in mind that God is always available, always attentive, always waiting, for you and i. <3

In truth, love and humility,
Zhuo’er (:

p.s. Here’s a verse to meditate on:
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
