He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
and by His wounds we are healed.
~Isaiah 53:5

I celebrated my birthday counting my blessings because I know how far God has brought me. Thank you, God, for another year to live, and appreciate the gift of life.
And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.
~Romans 8:11
Today I’m so thankful to God and overjoyed to see my little sister complete her degree in computer science engineering. Congratulations baby

on your outstanding achievement! Wishing you the very best in all your future endeavors. Love you loads 💕
God never gives a revelation that is contrary to Scripture.
As John Owen summarized, "If private 'revelations' agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false."
Today, I realise that without God, life would've been a constant mess but thank God for many daily chances. I'd never be able to thank God enough for His providence and for all He's done, for blessing me much more than I deserve, and for giving me another year to celebrate.🥳💝🙏
Happy Easter Monday everyone and greetings from Northern Ireland. I've been travelling the last couple of days for some R&R. Yesterday, I spent the day touring Belfast city. I wish you all a lovely day and I hope the sun is shining beautifully wherever you are.🌼 💫⛅
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know since Christ was raised from the dead, he can't die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
Rom 6:8-10

"God helps those who help themselves."
As a matter of fact, The Bible says the opposite. God helps the helpless. Here are a few verses:
Isaiah 25:4
Psalm 34:18
2 Corinthians 12:9
Happy Sunday Everyone. My sister and I had a fantastic weekend touring the beautiful northern highlands of Scotland, enjoying the lovely weather and delightful scenery.Thankful for this amazing journey. Have a blessed day and wonderful week ahead.

Good Old Irish Hymn.
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
~Dallán Forgaill
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid ROCK, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
~ Edward Mote
'God loved the world that He gave us His only son. That whoever believes in Him shall not perish.'
God because He is righteous has to administer Justice, but His love led Him to ensure that we can escape the consequences of His justice by accepting that Jesus died in our place.

My Prayer Today:
Almighty God, You are God of all creation & You are sovereign over everything in Your universe. Here am I again seeking your help as I step into the unknown. Order my steps and lead me to the right people, the right places at the right time, for your glory. Amen
Fun fact: I hate heights but always step out of my comfort zone. I could never jump from a plan. - It was actually not nearly as bad as I expected. I felt free like a bird flying up there in the sky! Highly suggest paragliding! What an epic day & couldn’t ask for better weather!
Hello everyone and Happy weekend.🙂
Whenever I travel to the Netherlands, I always visit Belgium. Last week I was eager to explore the city of Bruges.
Bruges is beautiful and definitely somewhere I recommend for the best chocolates & waffles in the world.

Sharing a few of my favourite memories from my trip to Austria. Vienna gave me the most beautiful views & St. Peter's Church was one the best. I was left speechless when I walked in.
Words can't explain how grateful I am for this amazing journey. Happy Friday everyone. 😊

Happy Sunday People. Some gorgeous views today from atop Zurich’s hills. Switzerland is truly blessed with breathtaking scenery at almost every corner. Even more beautiful on a day with clear skies. Thanking God for the grandeur of His creation that points to His glory. 🌳🌤🇨🇭
But because of His great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.
~Ephesians 2:4-6
Sharing a few of my favourite memories from my recent trip to DC.
We visited the museum of the Bible where we spent three hours in complete awe exploring and could have stayed longer.
The highlight of our visit was when we went on a virtual tour around DC from the museum, We
Today's Hymn
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God, should die for me?
Last week, my sister and I visited the George Muller Museum in Bristol

. I was so inspired when I read about his humbling life story 6 years ago. His life was marked by his faith and total dependence on God.

Get to Christ somehow, anyhow, for if you get to him you shall live. It is not the greatness nor the perfection of your faith, it is his greatness and his perfection which is to be depended on.

FOUR MEN BORE THE CROSS
Four men bore crosses on that good Friday. The first was Simon of Cyrene. He was compelled to carry Christ's cross. He had no choice in this matter. Life often does that. - It seizes us and puts a cross on our unwilling shoulders.

Thankful for a day well spent in Bruges. I wish I had more time to explore the city. It is very hard to get a full experience on such a short visit. I will be back again soon. Ciao ciao. x
I am the living one! I was dead, and now look I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead.

Hello everyone .😊
Last week I visited Giethoorn, the most beautiful fairytale village in the Netherlands. This charming Dutch village is often referred to as 'Little Venice.' Over two million people visit yearly. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He has made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
But I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.
~ Daniel Webster Whittle
If I was left to my free will, I will never choose God. Thank God, Irresistible grace prevailed in my life. The Holy spirit drew me to Christ despite my stubborn resistance.
To quote Augustine -“I once laboured hard for the free will of man, until the grace of God overcame me.”
Your "Free-will" is predestined to guide you freely to eternal damnation.
The Father out of His Love and mercy expressed through the sacrifice of Christ and applied to us through His Spirit saves us from it.
So yeah, God overrules whatever "free-will" we claim to have.
Deeply saddened to hear about the death of Dr. Tim Keller. God used his sermons to point me to Christ. I'm glad I met him and thanked him in person five years ago. The tears won't stop flowing. 💔
Attempted going to Cavaillon earlier but there was no means of transport, so I settled for bite to eat and enjoy the beautiful view in a nearby village. 🌿💫🌤️
GLORYING IN THE CRUCIFIED
There is no spot in the universe greater than the place where Jesus gave his life for us. I glory in the crucified because it was there that my redemption was paid and my soul found eternal salvation.
"When you’re not able to carry your pregnancy to term, you become less of a woman."
These women are challenging some beliefs about womanhood. What does being a woman mean to you?
Sharing a few memories from Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I had a full tour and I learnt so much about trees and nature in general. I found beauty in unexpected places and was reminded that life is full of surprises and opportunities for growth.
Not only is the garden the most
It's seems most European countries have a lovelock bridge. The locks are a symbol of love and commitment, have the initials, or names of the couple etched on either side. I think it's a beautiful tradition and it's always a delight watching couples lock their padlocks.🖤
The realization that my daily relationship with God is based on the infinite merit of Christ instead of on my own performance is a very freeing and joyous experience. But it is not meant to be a one-time experience; the truth needs to be reaffirmed daily.
~ Jerry Bridges
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
~ Philippians 4:6-7
“This is faith: a renouncing of everything we are apt to call our own and relying wholly upon the blood, righteousness and intercession of Jesus.”
― John Newton
The reformation is an important part of the Dutch, Swiss and Scandinavian history. Here's our tour guide educating us about Zwingli at St. Peter's Church where he pastored.
One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the Titanic Museum to learn about the Titanic story, the aftermath of the sinking and discovery of the wreck. ⚓🚢💫
I lift up my eyes to the mountains
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip
He who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
~Psalm 121:1-4
The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is His new creation by water and the word. From heaven He came and sought her to be his holy bride; with His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died.
- Samuel Stone
A Hymn based on 1 Corinthians 3:11
Today I'm so thankful that I got the chance to visit the home of C.S. Lewis in Oxford who was an inspiration to many. I love how he brilliantly used stories to channel scriptural truths. His classics especially The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was helpful for my sanctification.
Safely through another week God has brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek, waiting in His courts today; Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest.
- John Newton
But instead, He willingly stretched out His hands to receive the nails and by doing so, showed the greatest love of all. A cross is inevitable in life. Christ's cross was a chosen cross. It is also the Christian's cross.

The gospel and motivational speaking are two different things. "The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe." When the TRUE gospel of Christ is preached, lives are transformed from the inside out, the power of sin is broken and souls are saved for eternity.
Today’s BSF lesson was a timely reminder for me.
▪At creation God established the need for human beings to rest. Our minds & bodies cannot sustain constant pressure without intentional time to replenish.
▪Our spirits need dedicated time to stop activity and focus on God.
Dear God, help me grasp that I don't need to know everything, when faced with a difficult question may I accept that you will reveal to me all I need to know, though not necessarily all I want to know. May I leave the mysterious in your hands. Amen.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces, He was despised, and we held Him in low esteem. Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God. -Isaiah 53:3
The last cross was that of Jesus - A chosen cross. The rest was involuntary- His was voluntary. He could have avoided it by calling the father to send 12 legions of angels to defend Him.
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe, Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great and, armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal
Happy Reformation Day everyone.
