I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
yupe, as i said earlier, i wasnt exactly sad about it at all. in fact, i was rather for it coz that would mean other ppl will have to rise up as the cg got smaller. but somehow, i had some mixed feelings now. i realise that thru this multiplication God somehow revealed my spiritual condition to me. i realised i am not prepared. i realised my spiritual immaturity. i realised i am completely unprepared for the multiplication. :( i was saddened by my conditon. but it is God's grace that He has made known to me. i really wnat to grow out of my childishness of thinking and go on to maturity. i dun want to fall into the category of wat Paul said that though by this time u shld be eating meat, but u are still drinking milk(rephrase my own). i want to grow out of my immature ways... really... i want to go on!! i want to go on to higher grounds!
just now while i was bathing, i was thinking of something wat Pst Yang said this morning, and i had an impression of a house. teh house looks like a nice and sturdy one. but it came to me was "wat foundation issit built on?" i was reminded of the wise man who built his house on the rock mentioned in the Bible... and the scripture,"no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is Jesus Christ" and the preceeding, am i building on the rock, the gold and silver or wood, hay or stubble? i believed this is something God is speaking to me regarding the multiplication. and i ahve to ask myself this question. wat have i been building on?
for the next few weeks or so, before the multiplication actually happened, i am going to ask God to prepare my heart for it. that He will give me the grace. :)
