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...
yesterday, after the zion convention, i was actuali toking to my frens, or my ex-mentor.. she was my confidante, and it seemed to be always so pleasant to tok to her. coz u always get the feeling that she understands and she accepts u. the grace thats in her life. full of the fruit of the Spirit. :) anyway, so glad to have tok to her that nite, coz we dont have much chances nowadays as we are all bz and we are not in the same zone anymore.
was telling her that im now in the place whr i felt terrible, but i dun reali noe wat is happening in my life, other then one incident in my life. (after which, i thot, maybe thats the thing i have to deal with, and have a complete victory of). i felt somehow i get an enlightenment even as i tok to her abt pressing in. she said, God is a God of breathru, ask Him for a breakthru. if God cant bring breakthrus, He will not be called a God of Breakthrus. Press in for more of Him, just as Jacob as wrestled with God. and i honestly replied that i do not know how to wrestle with God, and pressed in. if it was other times, i simply would day yes, coz i thot i noe how to press in. but then at that moment, i knew in my life, i am not realli pressing in, and im not pressing in. i do not know how to press in. And the things that she say, not something new, but just got thru my thoughts, and somehow i realised wats that that missing in my pressing in! simply that lack of PRESSING THRU!
we have to press thru thru prayer and pressing in by pressing THROUGH!~ is jus like im in a crowd of ppl walking in the opposite direction, pressing in and pressing through till i reach the other side that i wanted. i realised so many times, i stopped in the middle of the road, just coz i think im tired or is impossible to press thru. thats y i never get a breakthru! wah.. wat a revelation..haha..to myself. however, a breakthru has to be still given by the Lord, not by myself. just like i cant possibly crucify myself coz i will nv be able to hammer the nail on the other hand... im pressing in now, and hungering for a breakthru... on a fast.. to somehow hunger and thirst after God that i may gain Him! but of coz, i have to fully depend on Him even for this breakthru! Amen! "He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD takes pleasure in those whofearHim, In those whohopein Hismercy." Ps 147:10, 11
