You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:13-14
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else... Matthew 6:33
Biblehub is my favorite.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7
Biblehub is my bery favorite website to go for bible verses.
Staying in Italy gave me more downs than ups. Hiccups are more than time for rejoicing. The only thing is the not too cold winter, lesser rain but definitely not the hot summer weather.
Racism is in the air here. Friendly VS unfriendliness - it is the culture to assume a Chinese from Singapore to be from China (without even asking). It seems to be a negative journey so far. The best thing is to have a closer relationship to Jesus.
The place I am staying in Italy is not a big city (close to Rome) that I wish to mention. It is only a sub-urban city without much amenities. There are a few Chinese and Japanese food restaurants opened by Chineses. There are indeed many Kebab restaurants and lesser local restaurants which I never visited.
Basically, the food here is nothing that I fancy. Going to a nearby Chinese grocery shop is what I love to do.
I might be moving back to stay in Singapore for good instead of staying here any longer. I love to travel but sadly I never get to travel much when I am here in Italy. Thankfully, when I get to go back to Singapore over the past few years starting from Covid pandemic, I did traveled to Taiwan and Japan too.
Enough for today. This is the first time and hopefully not the last time I will write about my life in my Blog. (Will AI collect some of the information I have written?)
Last but not the least, remember to pray more! Upload more of my artworks in my Plushism Redbubble shop and listen to more worship songs on K-Love - especially what I am listening to rather often - Carlos and Amy morning show.

guard my heart against the endless craving for more . Help me find contentment beyond temporary possessions. For it is written in 1 Timothy 6:7 - But we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it. Help me to redirect my focus to seek your kingdom and righteousness above all else. May my life reflect your purpose and fulfillment.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
God, thank you for pursuing me despite my wandering and failures. I am so grateful that You, Savior of the world, know my name. I belong to You and was created to know You. It is written in Matthew 18:12, If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? Deepen our connection and enrich our relationship, as I daily seek You.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
God, thank You for loving me even when I get caught up in pleasing others. Sometimes I got so focused on what the world thinks that I forget I am not made for this world. In Matthew 6:33, it is written, "Seek the kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need". God, please refocus my heart and guide me to live for you even if the society tells me otherwise.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Dear God,

For it is written in 1 Timothy 6:7 - For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. Help me to redirect my focus to seek Your kingdom and righteousness above all else. May my life reflects Your purpose and fulfilment.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Prayer to shine the light of Jesus Christ
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for bringing God's mountaintop presence down to Earth. Thank You that this heavenly presence now fills every one of your followers. By the power of your Spirit, help me and my community live as the shining city on a hill, where heaven touches earth, so that many may experience the love, wisdom, and blessing of God.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:14 ESV
How will you shine the light of Jesus Christ to the world today?
Pray For Enemies
Heavenly Father,
fill me with a spirit of unity. I want to be a uniter, not a divider with the people you had placed around me. Give me a tongue that speaks with understanding and compassion, reflecting your true love. Strip away my pride to "be right" and replace it with a heart of harmony.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Mark 3:25 NKJV
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
Thank God!

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind. Ecclesiastes 1:14
