Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Living for the ONE THING!
Life can be such a chore, a dread, a routine. Aimless, after all the fun and laughter lies the void and emptiness. Craving for something more, for meaning and purpose.
When i think of God, i often thought so why did he made me? Only the creator knows the purpose, of an object. In this case only the creator of life would know the purpose. Is life meant to be the way it is? The thought of not wanting to live on wanders in my mind.
"... all things were created by him and FOR him." colossains 1:16
That's it. The answer, its not about me, its not about my enjoyment, my dreams, my desires. I live my life only for the reason i was created for.
To be with him. If he's in the missions field, i want to be there. If he's touching a life elsewhere i want to be there. I just want to be with him. I serve only becuase i want to be with Him. More then a NEED, i WANT to be with him.
To know him. I want to be with him so that i may know him. Isn't that what he created man? That they may share in His beauty, they may know and marvel at his love.
"God is love" 1 john 4:16.
God can't help but shower his love on someone, his nature is love. He created me that i may be an object of his love.
To please him. No not just in doing and doing more. But in being. Simply being the son to my parents, a friend to my friends, a lover to my future partner, a minister to the people with me. God said this to Jesus
"This is my beloved son whom i love, with him i am well pleased." Matthew 3:17
even before he started off any ministry, Jesus a carpenter then all he did was honoring his parents and cutting wood, doing his work as doing unto the Lord.
Tough, selfless... but that was exactly what i was created for. I want to love him. I want to be more then just a servant, that serves and serves but i want to be His friend. I want to share his heart, share his sufferings, i want to be that bride, that when the father looks down, he can be pleased when he sees me carrying my cross like Jesus did. I want to live to hear my father say "Well done my good and faithful servant"
Help me O Lord break out of my selfishness. I want to live for you and share your heart for this world. Feeling inadequete~
It all about you, Jesus
And all this is for you
For your glory and your fame
Its not about me
As if you should do things my way
You alone are God and i surrender
To your ways
