the CLASSIC.

Sunday, October 21, 2007

this morning, as i was waiting for bus, on the way to church,
this song came into me.

Draw me nearer to You, nearer to You.
Fill my life with Your presence,
the way You want to.
Till my soul is ablazed,
each and every day.
Draw me nearer,
nearer to You.

it meant so much to me.
that song really spoke to me.

and what amazed me was that,
the objective of today's prayer meeting was along this line:
allowing God to take control and let His will be my will.

this is why i believe God is real.

i dont know about the outcomes of many things in my life.
but one thing i know,
Jesus holds my tomorrow.
much as i may dislike the outcomes,
i fully understand that God has a purpose.

i no longer wanna live life accepting the way things are.
i wanna find out God's purpose for me in these circumstances.
many a times people enter my life and make me lose focus of the purposes God has for me.
i dont want that to happen anymore.
neither do i wanna reject what God has planned for me.
ultimately it boils down to me learning to surrender once again.

it was an evangelistic service.
i was personally very touched by God in the service,
through psaaron's preaching.
yes, it's like the millionth time i'm listening to the gospel,
but each word meant so much to me.

being a Christian since forever,
i've began to take things for granted.
especially the gift of seeing visions, hearing God's voice, and owning Bibles.
i've taken my salvation for granted,
i've taken my parents' salvation for granted.

but today,
once again,
i'm reminded of God's love and grace.
if not for His timely interventions,
i wouldn't be who i am today.
i dont wanna question God, neither do i wanna doubt His plans.
God, let me put down my pride, and recognise that Your plans are the best.
because Your thoughts are above my thoughts.

Once again i look upon the cross where You died,
i'm humbled by Your mercies,
and i'm broken inside.
Once again i thank You,
once again i pour out my life.

Give thanks with a grateful heart.
Give thanks to the Holy One.
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son.

many thoughts,
i know.
i wanna give God His rightful place in my heart. (:
