God is Always on Time

“He has made everything beautiful in its time….” ‭‭(Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:11‬). We are often told to be patient with God as His timeline is different from what we envision.

Self-Esteem

A well-known psychological experiment demonstrates how body image affects people’s self-esteem.  In the experiment, the makeup artist fashioned a distinctive scar on the subject’s face and then secretly erase the scar without them knowing the mark is removed. Participants are then arranged to interact face-to-face with strangers.  Interestingly, most of the participants reported that they […]

Forever Comfort

‬ ‭”And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever” — ‭‭John‬ ‭14:16‬(KJV) When I think about our God, our everlasting comforter, I see this image of a bear offering a little girl with a “bear hug.” Yes! That’s the warmth and security we […]

Courage

The Plans of the Diligent lead to Profit

Growing up in a society that emphasizes academic success, I had been trained to make plans to conquer various exams and tests. Fortunately, I have enjoyed the planning process quite a lot. It is often like playing games to think of goals, determine a scope, set deadlines, and break down significant milestones into smaller actions. […]

God’s Wisdom

When we encounter life challenges, we often seek human wisdom to resolve the issues and don’t think about asking God for help until we are desperate. Yes, humans are smarter and more knowledgeable than other creatures, but our intelligence does not measure up to God’s wisdom.   Since young, I am very used to counting on […]

Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to Angry

The thought God gave us is thoughts of peace and not of evil. God does not like disputes. However, as Christians, how should we resolve conflicts in our workplace? For me, when coming to resolve disagreements, I often deal with people’s feelings first.  I believe that emotion is the most critical factor affecting team productivity […]

Judah came forward and sacrificed himself without a second thought as the family encounter adversity. He stepped in and offered to be a slave in place of his youngest brother Benjamin. This act earned him the position as […]

Angel in Disguise

Not all angels are well-dressed or evident at first sight. Often, we would be amazed to find that the people who seem indifferent, who disagreed with us or even suppressed us are, in fact, benefactors to us in the long run.
