‘O! Shut up you babbler of the 21st century, you who are so easily satisfied with the promises and experiences of modern church preachers and postures. Why trouble me with your arrogant look wherein you think you have discovered some new revelation because some...
‘I’ve tried, but I’ve failed over and over again. I am tired of trying to conform. I can’t be true to myself if I keep trying to adapt to the world. I had desired to be like everyone else, but it seems clearer to me Lord, that You don’t expect me to be like everyone...
‘My son, don’t hate the world for I created it. Don’t hate the things or the people of the world because I created them. But put them where they belong, far below your love for Me. If your love for Me overwhelms you and consumes you, then you cannot love the world as...

‘Lord, this is exciting to see that Your life is really what is within me and that I am not responsible for my life, but Christ who lives in me. The joy of finding afresh this revelation is unexplainable. So my job is to give You space to live out Your life through me...
‘Lord, it’s so good to know that You’re the “very present help.” It’s good to know that I cannot fall beyond Your reach. It’s so good to know that my pains, loneliness, hurts and disappointments are not new to You. It’s good to know that You’ve been here before me and...
‘O Lord, You’ve been trying to teach me, but I didn’t get it. Weakness is actually a great blessing. Those who are weak are ever dependent, ever leaning on You. Like, Jacob. He asked for Your blessings and You touched Him, but not the touch of miraculous physical...
