One of my favorite scenes from The Lord of the Rings, is at the end of "An Unexpected Journey" where the Great Eagles swoop in to rescue the hobbits who are hemmed in by the enemy. It is a pretty scary scene to start, but then becomes an uplifting, majestic one, as the hobbits are literally carried on the backs of the soaring eagles, or held in their powerful talons, to safety.
Reminds me of the verse from Exodus 19:4, where the Lord says to the Israelites after their redemption from Egypt, "You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself."
Jesus loves you, and He died to save you from the penalty of your sins. He wants you to be reconciled to Him. If you want to be reconciled to God, and begin an exciting relationship with Him, forgiven and free, all you have to do is to say this sinner's prayer with all of your heart.
"Heavenly Father, I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of my sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my heart that Jesus is your Son, and that he died on the Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and Jesus, I ask you right now to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and Savior. I repent of my sins and will worship you all the days of my life!. Because your word is truth, I confess with my mouth that I am born again and am cleansed by the blood of Jesus! In Jesus' name, Amen."
(If you said the sinner's prayer with all your heart, then praise the Lord as you have been saved and you are now a child of God! You have been adopted into His family. To grow in relationship with your Father God, and Christ Jesus your Saviour, find a Spirit-led church and join a community of believers so they can encourage you in your walk!)

Starting a journey
On 2 Jan 2009, I began a journey with like-minded Christians in the Wesley prayer team ...over the next 12 months, we were to read the same Scriptural passages each day, and pen down the insights God is revealing to us. And so began this blog… to encourage each other on the Word of God.
Since then, the Lord has moved me to Cornerstone Community Church, and this blog has also morphed along with it. My heart is for revival for Singapore and the nations, worship, prayer, my nation's destiny and call and, above all, that many in my land will be reconciled to Papa God. It is of these things that I find myself often musing on as a redeemed one. And I hope in the days to come to continue chronicling the mighty and loving acts of God in our generation!
