When Your Heart Burns Again

In the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, Jesus found them confused and disheartened. The disciples had placed their hope in Jesus, but He ended up crucified on the cross. They didn’t realize the stranger talking to them was Jesus, who proceeded to explain to them the fulfilment of the scriptures from Moses until that time. When the disciples finally recognised Him, they said excitedly:

Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us – Luke 24:32

God walks with us – even when we don’t recognise Him

The disciples were talking to Jesus on the way to Emmaus, yet they did not recognise Him. Often, when we’re too caught up with our emotions, disappointments and unmet expectations, we miss God’s presence right beside us. We often miss the graces and opportunities presented to us in our daily life when we fail to recognise God in our midst. The truth is: He is always present with us, whether we feel or recognise Him.

Understanding Scripture reignites a weary heart

When Jesus started explaining the scriptures, the two disciples were amazed and felt their hearts burning. Jesus’ insight cut through their confusion. Their clarity ignited something powerful inside them. It was a conviction. It was a reawakening and an alignment of the heart. Similarly, God’s Word should ignite our heart, so that it is burning again!

A burning heart leads to a changed direction

When Jesus blessed and broke the bread, the two disciples’ eyes were opened immediately and they recognised Jesus. Upon seeing Jesus, they immediately turned around and return to Jerusalem. When our hearts are ignited with God’s truth, we need to redirect our lives towards God. We can’t stay the same, we can’t continue drifting anymore. Our burning hearts must leads us to where God wants to take us.

My Invitation

This is my invitation to you today: discern God’s presence in your life, let His Word reignite your heart and let it fire burning in your heart lead you to do God’s will. The fire in your heart is not meant to warm you, it is there to ignite you into action.

The Weight of Wisdom

I celebrated my birthday last week with my family in China. As part of my birthday celebration, we had a family trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen China. It was truly enjoyable, memorable and reminded me of how blessed I am!

I realise that growing older does not always mean growing wiser. Or that growing wiser comes with a weight of sorrow…

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief – Ecclesiastes 1:18

I’ve learnt that wisdom often brings a deeper awareness – and with it, a certain sorrow. I couldn’t help reflecting on this as I welcome another year of my life.

Wisdom Reveals what we cannot unseen

Growth changes your perspective. The more you understand, the more you begin to recognise what is out of alignment – whether in your life, your relationships, or the world around you.

Once you see the truth, you cannot go back to not knowing. You can’t feign ignorance. Wisdom stretches you, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Wisdom Confronts us before it Transforms us

Wisdom doesn’t just show you the world – it shows you yourself. As I reflected over the past year, I didn’t just see growth – I also saw missed opportunities and wasted time.

What feels like sorrow is often the beginning of transformation. Conviction leads to change. Awareness leads to action. And growth, though uncomfortable, always move you forward.

Wisdom carries Weight – but also Purpose

Wisdom can feel heavy sometimes. It makes you more aware of life’s struggles, suffering and pain – and the responsibility that comes from that knowing.

However, the weight of wisdom is not meant to crush you, but to shape you:

  • respond instead of react
  • choose with intention
  • live with deeper purpose

You are given wisdom to live more meaningfully and with purpose.

My Invitation

This is my invitation to you today: to be aware of the weight of wisdom that can sometimes feel like a burden, but more importantly, to see the beauty of wisdom that brings meaning, purpose and transformation.

Carried on Eagles Wings

Have you ever felt like you’re meant to be soaring high in the sky, but felt like you’re exhausted just flapping your wings?

Let me remind you of what God said when He rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt:

You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself – Exodus 19:4

This Eagle mindset is not about your effort, strength nor discipline. It’s about whose wings you’re riding on when you soar above the stormy situations in your life.

1. I carried you

God carried the Israelites out of the slavery in Egypt by His mighty hand. It’s about surrendering to the One who lifts us up. In whatever challenging or impossible situations we find ourselves, God is able to carry us through it.

2. On eagles’ wings

God carried the Israelites from slavery to freedom. Eagle swoops down and carry their young – even midair – to safely. It does it tenderly but with great strength. God comes to carry us on eagle’s wings when we’re exhausted – and He does it with His loving hands.

3. And brought you to myself

God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to Himself. Even though the Israelites complaint endlessly, yet God was patient with them and provided for them in the desert. He never abandoned them in the desert. In the same way, God is bringing us to Himself, seeking a personal relationship with Him.

My Invitation

This is my invitation to you today: ask God to carry you on eagle’s wings each day – above your fears, frustration and exhaustion. Trust in God to carry you to rise above the chaos of life and soar to the highest sky.
